Pros

Staples is a great corporation to work for as despite what my review says, My review is at one particular location. Visiting other stores the management and the employees were very respectful of one another. Very great atmosphere to work in, customers are usually very grateful for the help that the sales associates provide. Opportunities to advance to a department supervisor do exist.

Cons

No known opportunities to advance to store level management company seems to prefer recruiting from outside the company. No checks or balances to control bad management at a store level. Complaints and reports to corporate management went unheard.

Pros

Salary, Staples pays very well. Lots of paid time off compared to other retailers. Benefits weren't bad, but not the best. ie they even have pet insurance, but the medical wasn't top notch.

Cons

Even though there is plenty of paid time off, you don't really get to take it when you want to. Not enough help to get the job done and help customers. Too many "targets" to try to focus on. If it's not FPP, ESP, PPP, or the latest speciality plan, it's paper to ink, or other attachments, or 5 different customer service measurements. Everything is a #1 priority.
