Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Sterling, VA - May 23, 2017
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedAt first, it was great. Nice staff, safe conditions, etc. But when we got new management, it all went downhill. We were always understaffed, the store was dirty and the closing staff did nothing to straighten up. I was fired for being sick even though I had called in.

Mindful of Students
Print Associate (Former Employee) - Caguas, PR - October 24, 2021
I enjoyed working here while I was in college. They helped fit my hours around my class schedule. My supervisor was nice and taught us what we needed to work well.

Its what you make of it.
Power Equipment Operator (Current Employee) - Grand Prairie, TX - October 23, 2021
There are periods of time, we're you can make alot of money. Typically in the summer and at the beginning of the year. In between those times you have to be flexible to work in other areas.
Pros
Most holidays off
Cons
Only periods of good money

Not worth the amount of work required for the pay
Print and Client Services Supervisor (Former Employee) - Louisiana - October 23, 2021
Essentially have to do the jobs of 4 people by yourself. Rarely get breaks. Pretty much every store is horribly understaffed. The company always has something new to push that adds more to the work load. Company does nothing to show appreciation for their associates. It's an okay job if you are looking for low payed part time work, as they are flexible with hours.
Pros
Flexible Schedule
Cons
Too many to list

Great for learning, Bad for growth and pay
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) - High Point, NC - October 23, 2021
Good for learning, bad for growth. Employees and Co-Workers are very friendly but no room for growth or expansion. You can ask for a better role or a increase in pay and they never get back to you. I asked for a higher role with more responsibilities and they hired someone who had no idea what they were doing, and I was the one training them.
Pros
Friendly, Lots to learn, College Benefits
Cons
Bad Pay, Scheduling Issues

Management is poor
Receiving Specialist (Former Employee) - Mississippi - October 21, 2021
This company is bad and does not show loyalty. They have managers that are not ready to be managers and can’t manage or lead. They have associates doing whatever and people can lie on each other and get fired for anything
Pros
Bonuses sometimes
Cons
Have some poor managers and some don’t need to be managers

Friendly and safe work environment
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) - Canton, OH - October 21, 2021
Office Max (Office Depot) is a great company to work for. The employees receive bonuses as a team for meeting deadlines and achieving metrics. The downside is high turnover rate makes work difficult for coworkers.
Pros
Management
Cons
Turnover

Worked in the Print Center
Sale Associate/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Windcrest, TX - October 21, 2021
I worked in copy/print for almost a year, the environment wavers between hectic and sometimes overwhelming to quiet and easy-going. My duties consisted of daily copying and printing, creating and cutting out business cards/pamphlets/postcards, sending faxes/emails, and completing online customer orders. I felt undertrained and I never learned how to make stamps. Sometimes copy/print associates from a prior shift would fail to complete work orders leaving out crucial details or dates. Getting a lunch break was often a challenge due to an influx of customers and a lack of associates capable of taking over. On a more personal note, it wasn't all bad, it was a decent first job that got me out of my comfort zone and I will always remember my supervisor fondly despite her sometimes rough demeanor.
Pros
Employee Discount, Learned New Things
Cons
Can be Stressful

Productive
Logistics Associate (Current Employee) - Texas - October 21, 2021
A good company to work for, allows you to have flexible schedule and to learn a few things about the retail work environment. You can learn a number of positions here even if you only applied for 1, great opportunities but lowish pay, would recommend for a student, or first job but not a provider.
Pros
Lunch, flexibility
Cons
Pay

Cashier/ Customer Service Specialist (Former Employee) - Asheville, NC - October 19, 2021
Office Depot was a decent place to work if starting in retail, but the pay was too low and there wasn't much room for advancing so I had to move on to another employer.

Way better to work for back in the day
Store Manager (Former Employee) - San Diego, CA - October 18, 2021
Office Depot has become one of those retail stores where they will cut any expense other than corporate salaries, which includes cutting payroll down on a store level to the point where sometimes there are only two employees running the whole store while the third is on their break. This combined with the hands on customer service experience means very disappointed customers and stressed out employees.
Pros
Store managers are great, when I started we got good benefits like life insurance
Cons
Commission and 401k match just kept going down and down

Terrible job, everyone keeps leaving
Cashier/Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Pasadena, CA - October 15, 2021
Honestly, this job isn’t good at all, you have these irate customers that do the most and it’s annoying. Some management is good but a lot of the time (the managers that aren’t the general managers) don’t bother helping kill the line nor do they side with you because “the customer is always right.” People are always leaving making you feel like you honestly don’t have a way out so have a second option for a retail job if you need it.
Pros
quarterly bonuses
Cons
everything else

Totally depends on your manager
Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Wichita, KS - October 14, 2021
Make sure that you get a good manager and a good team. That makes all the difference when working retail, and especially true at Office Depot. Not too busy, pay is OK, but great time if you have the team

Easy Job
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) - Covington, LA - October 14, 2021
Job is very easy but obviously as a seasonal employee pay is not very good. My co workers were friendly and nice to work with. Overall not a bad part time job but not a career building job.

Used to be a good company
General Manager (Current Employee) - California - October 13, 2021
Upper Management is running company into ground. Too many inventory issues that are uncontrollable at store level, but stores take fall in customer experience and sales due to it. They want you to make Diamonds from dust you are given. Pays well compared to other retailers and work life balance has always been good for a Retail Manager.
Pros
Pay, Work Balance
Cons
Corporate Management has no idea what they are doing
