Pros

I worked at Staples for a total of almost four years at three stores. Staples itself is a great place to grow skill sets in which alot of employers look for (even outside of retail). The companys business model provides you with networking options to a large variety of local companys. EASY job for the most part if you can sell, this is a retail sales job, also get the experience to coach and train other employees. Really good fundamental sales training! -Very stable place to work -Good Training -Nice benefits(for retail) -Alot of career paths

Cons

The commision structure which changed three times in my years at Staples and was often confusing and redundent to new hires. Not a good incentive if you dont understand where its coming from. The selling envirorment was often stressful and there was too much presure to "hit the numbers" and not enough how can I help you do better. -Commision structure -Retail hours -High pressure sales envirorment

Pros

Hey, it's a job with a steady paycheck. Most of the associates are hardworkers and great people. The 401k and stock option are great benefits.

Cons

You can forget bonuses or raises. You can expect that the managers will tell you to do the exact opposite of what each other said, then scream at you for not doing both. You will be screamed at for everything and anything. You will be talked over, talked down to, or talked about negatively. You will be considered expendable and treated as such. You will be blamed for incidences that you had nothing to do with, because management will never take the blame for anything. You will be expected to sell service plans that have so many clauses that 99% of the time will not cover the customer's purchase. You will be the one to tell the customer that their purchase is not covered. You will get no support from management when the customer complains. The health benefits are only so-so. They do not take pride in having long-term dedicated employees. Money and profit are the bottom line and they will gladly get rid of a veteran employee with more experience to hire more unexperienced ones. Staples does not care about their employees and will NOT listen to them. Staples does not care about their customers and will NOT listen to them.
