Pros of working at Office Depot

The amount of trust and team work they have. If there is any issue they will try to work it out with you and you can work in the department you best fit without a manager watch over your shoulder.

Cons of working at Office Depot

Being graded on new sign ups for our rewards program as well as pushing customers to fill out surveys and give us a 10. It often annoyed customers and made it very difficult to keep managers happy with good scores when customers often didn't want to give their information.

Office Depot benefits

There are bonuses as well as paid time of and rewards for being employee of the month which is achievable for any member of the staff. Most managers are kind enough to buy lunch for the team as well.

Pros of working at Office Depot

The people are generally pretty fine. The management team is not bad for the most part.

Cons of working at Office Depot

It has become grating on my nerves as I am not the most patient individual and this job does require a lot of patience as it is retail. I also just do not prefer non-stop interaction and that is what retail entails.

Office Depot benefits

The scheduling is very flexible so it helps if you have something come up out of the blue.

Pros of working at Office Depot

Competitive salary.

Cons of working at Office Depot

We encourage associates to live the 5C Culture; Customer, Commitment, Change,Caring and Creativity, but with the decline of the business, moral has declined as well. With a leadership team that cares less and less about its true commodity, our employees, its all about the bottom line. There must be a balance.

Office Depot benefits

I used to look forward to going to work everyday and there used to be a long list of perks but unfortunately today, the only reason I show up is for the paycheck.
