Pros

Enjoyed Co workers, Good pay, High expectations of everyone who works there, Flexible hours, Management is easy to get along with

Cons

My only con was management turnover rate. This was not a Staples issue but rather an issue with the store itself. Some people were hired who shouldn't have been but others were very competent and, unfortunately, promoted or offered jobs with other stores within the company.

Typical retail job

Pros

They did a decent job scheduling my shifts around my needs. For the most part, the work was straight-forward. Management was generally fair, although one assistant manager was somewhat abusive. The pay was very slightly above minimum wage. They occasionally provided free snacks in the break room.

Cons

There was no employee discount. There were no benefits of any real value. It was a soul-deadening retail job, and one I was very happy to leave. The training was insufficient. Many employees had little to no product knowledge, and couldn't help customers effectively with their purchases. A considerable amount of heavy lifting was required.
