Staples Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Staples is a great company to begin any career with."

"Staples is a company in change. Over the past 20 years it has migrated from an entrepreneurial company to a corporation. It has struggled to keep up with technologies and does not maintain technologies that make its workforce efficient. It has gone the off-shore route inefficiently and ineffectively. It's competition has migrated to Amazon, which will require a cultural shift both internally and externally with investors."

"Retail is a difficult environment to work in. Staples was at one time a great place to work, but with the economy faltering it has tightened the payroll belt so tight that you can't get the job done. I understand why the leadership is doing it but they need to stop living in a dream world where everything gets done when they want it. My stress level is at a point where its negatively impacting my health."

"I have worked for Staples Advantage division for over 8 years. The company is financially sound but lacks communication for procedural changes and application for field personnel.

Unfortunately, the slow advancement and compensation level has forced me to seek other employment.It can be an opportunity for the correct individuals. It's a long road and a culture that must be fully adopted. Individuality is praised as long as that individual conforms to ever changing cultural standards."
