"Staples provided a good environment to grow as a young professional, and gave me the tools needed to really develop my current skillset and grow new talents. Management had a strong focus on their current employees, but would often times favor other employees based on geographical location. Overall, a good workplace, great co-workers, and good compensation. Major con would be one of my direct supervisors being a bit more of a party goer than I was, which would cause issues when I didn't want to go out to bars after a long work-day (this was frowned upon in the high-pressure sales environment)."

"I strongly believe if there is another job available somewhere else you should take it, not at Staples. Currently, the Watertown, NY store management has no problem placing the company in a precarious position legally. Employees are treated poorly with favoritism for select employees. Similarly, select employees will receive hours while those not in Print and Marketing, especially part-time associates, will only receive a minimum number of hours a week. Staples as a company has fallen far over the last two and a half years."

"Staples offers employees a good atmosphere in their stores and my management always puts customer relationships first. There’s plenty of opportunity for growth within the organization, and that’s evident in almost every corporate position I’ve interviewed for, and every corporate employee I’ve spoken to. Staples are making appropriate moves in this time for retail, pivoting to their Staples Connect model, offering more modern solutions to concepts like co-working, podcasting, etc and I truly appreciate that as an employee."
