Pros

Met some great people but you won't be working with the same people for more than 12 months as either you or they will be gone!

Cons

Ever revolving door where they don't feel the need to help and train staff adequately. Only become a manager if your face fits or you have n affair with the MD! Very much a target driven organisation with no aspirations to help the people inside!

Pros

Staples Advantage is a great brand who provide fantastic training for all their employees.

Cons

After re-branding Corporate Express as Staples Advantage there seemed to be many barriers to growth and innovation. I felt communication with senior management and between departments was disjointed and restricted by hierarchy and bureaucracy.
