      Depends on the store

      Sales associate

      Pros

      At my store, the flexible scheduling is easily the best reason to work. Good people, good store level management make it a place to stay at for the extreme part time. The job as a computer sales associate is easy beyond belief, most of the time spent wandering the aisles trying to help the customer. It's a great job to work on customer service skills and at the store I'm at customer service is truly a high aim.

      Cons

      The pay is relatively low and the rewards are not as good as i'd wish.

      Staples, live it or leave it

      Sales associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Staples offers potential applicants friendly associates and management, flexibility with scheduling, decent wages with decent benefits ( as long as you enjoy overpaying for them), a clean and bright work environment, an excellent chance for advancement inside the company, excellent morale boosts with monthly associate of the month awards, safety bingo, and store wide events.

      Cons

      The drawbacks to working at Staples are pain in rear end customers who expect associates to know everything about each item in the store. The fact that there is no employee discount only 15% back on purchases. lackluster communication between sales associates and senior staff.

      Staples..a great place to work!

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I believe that Staples is truly committed to its employees..it is a great place to work!

      Cons

      There are no real opportinuties for career advancement once you reach a certain level (ie: management)...the perception is that you have to leave the company for a higher position and then return..you will not be promoted if you are a loyal and committed employee.
