Staples Employee Reviews for Supervisor

"I recently completed my 6th year working for Staples. When I was hired, Staples stock was around $24 a share. It is now around $15, and has been as low as $9. The company has gone through numerous changes due to stockholder demands, and most have been for the worse. I used to enjoy my job, but now I do not. We are expected to run a store with perfect customer service scores on less than minimal staffing hours. Middle-management is nearly endless, and everyone has unrealistic expectations."
