Staples CEO and leadership

Good mid level management

Once the company was taken over by a private equity firm the constant threat of layoffs became overwhelming. The performance appraisal process is on a bell curve so people are often given poor ratings just to meet the bell curve requirement. Promotions and significant raises are hard to come by. The pay is generally below market value.

Great co-workers. Working in the corporate office has many perks such as a top of the line cafeteria and a fantastic free breakroom with coffee, tea and snacks.

The CEO is absolutely terrible. He has a terrible attitude about employees.

Since their tagline is about the benefits of human interaction, treat your employees like people rather than a number.

Staples pay is far below the industry average. This is frequently mentioned by the head of HR but nothing is done to rectify it.

Run primarily but older white men

I loved the people I worked with and supported

Excellent Co-workers and Boss! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the boss playing ROBLOX during work hours. I saw him with e-kitten.. Her name was martha! It could have been my grandmother.. But she is very sick..

The boss was a total psycho! How could he pay me such a small amount? My drivers license was revoked after I crashed through the door. He said I was lucky to not be fired!!

I liked dangling of the ceiling scaring customers! She threatened to fire me and I freaked out under this unfortunate accident. But don't worry.. I handed her the bosses secret stash 😎

I has some really good coworkers and customers over the years. Pay at the entry level was good at the time.

Management was abhorrent, our G.M. like to call staff names and place the blame on everyone else, while not accepting any responsibility. Since Staples was bought out by an equity company it has gone downhill in the last few years. There have been constant hour cuts and two rounds of layoffs in the last two years. Supervisors weren't paid enough to do everything that was expected of them.

Paid time off wasn't too bad all bonuses have pretty much been removed over the years, unless you're a Sales Manager, General Manager or higher.

Actually listen to employees and address issues brought to H.R. instead of turning a blind eye. Only higher and train qualified employees, I've seen to many people hired that were not properly trained by the company causing numerous issues.

Pay was slightly better than expected when I first started years ago and has gotten better over the years for entry level positions. However, supervisors are paid much lower than they should be for what is expected of them. All bonuses have been cut except for Sales Managers and above.

Our General Manager was very ignorant of just how diverse the workplace has become over the years.

I use to love going to work at Staples but, in the last two or three years of employment the stress levels in the store had become to significant to tolerate.

Decent pay.

Doing the job of 2-3 in a position I never applied for.

Eye insurance.

Never met.

Be more incluseve.

I dress business casual and answer and ask questions. Often leading the recruiter expand information.

Average

Poor Certain employees can get away with saying insanely racist things and management looks the other.

Interacting with employees.

There are not pros for woking at Staples. This company doesn't treat their employees right. They push their employees to the point of a mental break down.

In my experience for work with staples. I was never treated right from the time I started there. Never got the right training to do my job right

There are no perks or benefits to working at Staples. This company is a joke. They don't care about their employees. They expect you to work open to close when someone calls in because nobody else wants to work.

There's no leadership at Staples.

Treat your employees right don't push the employees to their breaking point.

It's below average I feel like

I don't feel like staple have a diversed demographics.

Nothing brings me joy to work at Staples is company is a joke to work for.

I like working with customers and my coworkers

How the store is management. The store manager is never there. No help . Multitasking.

PTO, family time etc

I loved the laid back and supportive corporate culture.

I did not care that they were a little behind in technology such a project management software.

I absolutely loved the flexibility and work life balance options they have for employees.

Excellent senior leadership.

Thinking outside the box is discouraged.

My excellent managers and directors

working with tech and helping people find the solutions to their tech needs

management was a little unorganized, and rude customers.

They try but the level of leadership at the corporate level just doesn't get it. Stop micromanaging and making changes last min.

Everyone is just a number. The will work you until your dead. No work life balance for leadership.
