Staples Employee Reviews for Sales Associate

"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."
