Great place for part time work. Staples closed the store location that I worked at for part time work. Great group of employees and bosses. Didn't mind working late. Comparable salary for part time retail.

Pros

Discounts for employees.

Cons

Not enough hours.

Fun and carefree

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Lawton, OK - January 29, 2023

I spent sixteen months there and it was a great work experience. I learned so many different skill sets and loved working with my coworkers. I greatly enjoyed my time there and would consider going back to them.

Okay workplace with demanding corporate goals

Sales and Stock Associate (Former Employee) - Patchogue, NY - January 28, 2023

Staples is bleeding money, and will probably go out of business in the next 5 years. Every internal corporate project was obviously done out of the fear of losing more money. From erasing my annual raises to pushing employees harder and harder to get good numbers, it's clear that anything Staples does from here on out is part of a desperate attempt to make as much money as possible before going bankrupt. My coworkers were nice though, and I still talk to most of them after quitting.

Pros

The HP representative comes by occasionally and gives you a pen

Cons

No bonuses, no commission, no tips, meager raises (20 cent raise per year)

Cashier

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Auburn, CA - January 28, 2023

I liked working here as a cashier. The people are friendly and my boss I quite liked. The lady went on pregnancy leave. I opened a couple times. We were situated right by the Dutch bros so we got tons of coffees

Not a great place

Print and Marketing Supervisor (Current Employee) - Massachusetts - January 27, 2023

If all you had to do was the job you applied for, which in print is hard enough, it might be an ok place to work. However you are suppose to do your job, that of the other departments as well as act as the manager on duty all at once. If the sales go down its your fault, yet you can't be where you need to be to do your job properly. Also customers don't respect what you do and how out of your way you go to get them the best possible product. You feel let down because they aren't providing you the support you need or you have management that just doesn't care.

Overworked & under paid

Analyst (Former Employee) - Aurora, CO - January 26, 2023

The company constantly lays off. The people that don’t get laid off are given more work with no extra pay. You will be micromanaged and expected to do an outrageous amount of work. Once you reach a salaried position you will work a lot of hours without getting paid because it’s salaried.

Driver (Former Employee) - Boston, MA - January 26, 2023

Productive but sometimes overwhelming

Print & Marketing Supervisor (Current Employee) - 500 8th Avenue - January 25, 2023

If you have a fully staffed team, the work can be fulfilling and rewarding. But if you're working with the bare minimum, the job can be very stressful.

Poor management about store level

Assistant Manager (Current Employee) - Adrian, MI - January 25, 2023

The upper management does not care for anyone below General Manager. They look at them as just someone to pump out numbers and if you don't they want to let you go either by pushing you out or eventually firing you. They don't care about the manpower as they give you a large checklist that would take a set amount of hours but give you only half or 3/4 of the manpower to do it.

Not worth it

Warehouse Worker (Current Employee) - London, OH - January 25, 2023

Extremely fast paced and managers pick favorites, didn't have a social life at all once I started working here. Working 5 brutal days a week. They pay pretty well, but not worth it.

Horrible

Customer Service Associate (Former Employee) - New Rochelle, NY - January 24, 2023

Work literally anywhere else, they take advantage of you here. Every new hire I met here had no clue what they were getting paid, didn't know they had breaks, some got hired then didn't get an update to their schedule for weeks. Doesn't follow availability, and threaten you with termination when you try to leave on your schedule time or even 20 minutes past it.

Incompetent management

Retail Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Greenville, SC - January 24, 2023

Management is a joke. They never schedule enough people at a time to get required task done then sit and complain that nothing gets done and that the store is a mess. Will have to deal with the most Karen customers there are. Pay is terrible for the amount of work that is required. Management is on your back every 5 seconds to get stupid app downloads and protection plans on printers laptops etc.

Pros

None

Cons

n/a

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Middletown, NY - January 24, 2023

It's a retail job, so don't expect much. If the store manager is in a bad mood you better steer clear of them because they obliviously like to take it out on the nearest person.

Pros

Money

Cons

toxic work enviroment

No real room for growth

Forklift Operator (Current Employee) - Lithia Springs, GA - January 24, 2023

Staples have good schedules and decent pay. I believe they can be more competitive. Management doesn’t quite focus on employees needs. Good benefits and programs available for personal needs and mental health

Stressful without benefit

Sales and Service Manager (Current Employee) - Exton, PA - January 22, 2023

In my opinion this is clearly a company on the downturn. Every day the metrics that we need to force down peoples throats gets larger and larger. Its clear that with less customers the company wants to milk the ones who still do come in for all they are worth
