Just say "No" to Staples from former store associate.

Pros

It was close to where I live. It was part time which is a pro and con. Pro in that I didn't have to work an awful job for a full shift.

Cons

Some of the reviews say they love and enjoy Staples. Do they love the very low hourly pay? Do they enjoy a random, inconsistent schedule? Or maybe it is the horrible management they love and enjoy so much. Can you live on 9 to 10k a year? This store will become a thing of the pass soon. It is easier and cheaper to just buy online. Adios Staples.

Pros

The people also working within the store with me were excellent. We all got on incredibly well and were friends outside of work also. In general, I enjoyed working across the different services offered in our store and the opportunities to cover in other stores if required which helped make some extra money.

Cons

Having four managers within a single store was difficult and there would be different rules for each one. Also there would often be inefficient organisation with facing up at the end of the day and other such matters which would be easily avoided.

Pros

Easy job itself, but the management makes it imposible to like that job. Also the costumers are pretty nice and polite.

Cons

You don't get respected by the management and don't get the right pay, they change your clocking in and out hours and pay you less than you deserve. They expect you to work for free and don't give you your brakes. Horrible company.
