Pros

You didn't have to leave to get food. Office products were also easy, when needed.

Cons

We were in no less than 4 corporate re-orgs. 41 VPs had to sign off on funding a project. I have never seen such a toxic environment, I have been involved with organizations who screw each other over to get ahead, at least they were getting ahead. Staples management created a culture of screwing each other over, just for laughs and to see people get sick with stress. Oh, and a food line for your holiday party? Wow, just wow - never, have I ever.
