Office Depot

Office Depot had the best employee training program! They spent a lot of time and money on training and developing their crew!!!!

You can't get any merchandising done because you're constantly running upstairs to the stockroom to look for items missing on the sales floor. Because Customers are constantly asking you to run upstairs and check the stock room.

I started at OD in the furniture department and loved it as I got more experience and moved up to management things changed there was another manager who couldn’t get her stuff done and would get you to help but you didn’t get recognition for doing anything to help she complained about everything and everyone and when I addressed the issue with the store manager within a month I was laid off.

Great seasoal job, pretty decent hours, and awesome staff all but one. Be prepared to sell furniture, help in photo dept, cashier,stock all in a matter of one day. Keeps you on your toes! The pay doesnt match the level of work requested, so it wasnt a good fit for me. The store owner was awesome, but the floor manager (you know who you are) made the job miserable for all. I saw a lot of people leave because of her, even though even reported her she still had a job.

I launched my B2B Career working there in 2007 it was a VERY fun and exciting place to work at first, with both great leadership and supportive colleagues. However the last 5 years from 2016 to 2021 was the worst years. You could start to see the cracks in the company values, meaning the company business metrics & goals were no longer about adjusting to the market but became more about the money and company profits. Now don't get me wrong every company has to make a profit but not greed. Instability BIG TIME there were several merger attempts by Staples and an actual merger with OfficeMax and from there the company morale tanked (per the my opinion counts surveys) people started to retire early, other quit, and some were impacted by workforce reduction. It was no longer a healthy work environment, the spirit of customer service was lost, putting customers first was a thing of the past. Possibly more instability, as of 2022 as there is talk of their B2B business separating from Retail

My co-workers were great, the atmosphere was good unloading truck, and stocking the Merchandise, and helping customers face to face or on the phone.

When i was at Office depot, December 2016-April 2017 I was Logistics that's where i would unload truck and help stock the store, and I would help Customers.

Was offered a promotion from entry level to manger after the first week of work. Management training was a great experience.

It is very upsetting to see 20+ year employees get terminated due to corporate admins whims and personal feelings.

Moved to California but loved working there i moved up wuickly to cash office . Iwss in training when I mivrd

I enjoyed my career with Corporate Office depot. I felt they invested in their employee's training and support for advancement within the company.

Worked in the same store for 7 years started out as a copy center associate. Then became copy center Manager, all of sudden I was everything manager, from opening to closing to hiring, training, recieving, cash office, inventory and so much more. Definitely enjoyed my time there, it is challenging. I was right out of college, Learned a lot of valuable experience.
