Pros

Can be pretty laid back and simple. SOME managers will make the job tolerable.

Pros

50% off clearance sometimes, plus 10% employee discount, so you can get some stuff really cheap and sell it online to supplement the poverty level income you make working at Staples!

Cons

Limit hours of all employees so they don't have to pay them full time benefits like the average service worker in this country deserves. Bloated salaries at the very top, Assistant GM's barely make of $40k and they run the stores. General Managers on upwards make double, it's insane. District Managers have daily conference calls which consist of an hour of ranting. This company now operates by stepping on backs of its newly created class of poor part time workers and just racks in billions.

Pros

My coworkers made the job tolerable. You can sort of learn a skill if you're doing anything but cashiering. You'll have to teach yourself, but you have the opportunity to experiment. Very fastidious about work breaks (There was a class action lawsuit about 10 years ago) Large chain that offers transfers. Employee discount.

Cons

Typical frustrating retail environment. Disconnect between mrgs and reality. Unreasonable expectations to sell people "warranties" (Those are pure profit) The pay was laughably low in their IT/tech dept. Very Anti-union. You have to sign a form that says you won't talk to union reps and watch propaganda about unions being bad during your training. I was offered a position doing on-site repairs, using my car, but only a $0.40 raise. I declined.
