B2B Sales Consultant
"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)."

What do you like about working at Staples?

"The people I work with. The product selection. Our customer base is in general very good to work with."

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

"Don't wast your time until the company makes some changes attatthe DM & RVP levels...someone is going to have to grow a pair and stand up for the great people that work very hard day in and day out in the stores."

What don't you like about working at Staples?

"Senior management. This company is bleeding managers and if the economy was better, I think there would be an exodus of talent. There needs to be a culture shift to where the stores determine the day to day and not corporate."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"See paragraph above and learn to focus on the big profitable business areas. We are really focused on a 90dollar on site each week...out of a $100k sales week...come on, get real."
