What suggestions do you have for management?

What do you like about working at OfficeMax?

"I loved my customers, I loved the work I did, I loved my co-workers...the management is the problem. Both at the Corporate level and at the store level, that company is horribly run, takes advantage of its employees and is very suspect ethically. After seeing nearly every co-worker during the time I was there set up and mistreated, I wouldn't recommend that company to anyone."

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

"Look elsewhere for a different job. You will, honestly, get better pay at McDonalds."

What don't you like about working at OfficeMax?

"The problem with OfficeMax is the Corporate structure and the direct management. They treat the employees as wage slaves...I've never encountered it that bad before. I've seen co-workers fired on pretense days before Christmas just because they had been there for 5-6 years and earning more than minimum wage. I have seen management encourage employees to fudge sales (taking inappropriate discounts for customers) and then, when Loss Prevention comes in, the management throws the employees on the fire. In Prescott, they hire a lot of addiction recovery patients and use that against them. In other words, who are you going to believe The manager or some ex-heroin addict This company needs to be investigated by an honest outside source and the findings broadly published."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop treating employees like slaves on a plantation, threatening them with termination if they ASK for a day off."

"Great people, great customers at OfficeMax."
