Pros

1. The pay is ok. It seems to vary wildly depending on your experience, at least in my store. 2. Our customer base in our area are some of the friendliest, and most considerate, its rare to see that in a retail environment.

Cons

1. Quality of management also varies wildly. 2. There is a lot of gray area when it comes to ethics at Staples.

Staples- The effort you put in, is what you leave with as well. Do nothing, deserve nothing.

Pros

Stable company in a not so stable realm right now. Ron and Co. are improving growth and image needed not just in US but profitable countries as well. ODP and OMX threatening to close some of their doors. OMX also went through a major mgr. upheaval that left many bitter. Don't blame them. Benefits are great and better than most Retail boxes. Vision coverage is good (tough to find a GOOD dr. in the area) but excellent reimbursement on contacts and glasses. Love working on computers and Inventory for the stores. Like to watch when I help a store out through increase product levels, that the product flies off the shelf.

Cons

Long hours and you get pulled in several directions from varying mgmt. personnel. Customer's are not always right - especially the ones that yell at you.
