"I have nothing good to say about Office Depot anymore. Change or lose everything."

What do you like about working at Office Depot?

"I had some good customers until the company hired the new CEO. Then he changed things and it affected us by doing our job and it then affected the customer."

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

"Go somewhere else until they get rid of the CEO or they change the bad programs and ways. Good-bye."

What don't you like about working at Office Depot?

"The CEO has changed the company for the worst. The programs that he implemented messed his employees over which affected the customers. Even I could have done better. Pushing customers to buy things that they didn't want, and if we did sell it to them we could get fired. We were told if they didn't buy certain things with their item tell the customer we didn't have it. Just terrible."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get rid of the CEO and go back to the way it was. Ya, the stock might have fluctuated between $14 and $22, but the CEO said he will get it to $42, and what is it now. There were happy customers and employees, now you have nothing."
