"Business Development is about finding a joint win-win for the company, for the customer, and for the partner. I love interacting with CIOs, CEOs, and other influencers who can see value and know how to leverage value in the marketplace. I always seek the 1+1=3 equation in all areas. I love eliminating hurdles and roadblocks, working across technology, development, sales and marketing groups. The best thing about business development is you never have a dull moment and are constantly learning."

Business Development Manager at Office Depot
in Burbank, CA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Worst company I ever worked for. Terrible management with no business savvy. I brought them 1.5 million in business and they couldn't work out simple details. Staples had no problem taking on these customers. No organization whatsoever. I couldn't even get a list of current customers in my territory. Wasted over 50% of my prospecting time calling prospects who were already customers. This, in turn made it look like I had no idea what I was doing."

"Nothing."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't do it."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"All new people. Take management classes. Don't hire a manager because he could throw a fastball (baseball). (I'm not kidding) I was an outside sales person. If I wasn't at a certain productivity level I had to stay in the office on Mondays. That's 20 of my time an office when I'm supposed to be outside working. I could see if we were actually working a plan to improve but people would just sit around all day and talk. You don't have meetings at 8:00 on Monday mornings. You also don't have meetings at 3:00 pm on Friday. Doesn't create an environment for an effective meeting."
