Overall Reviews at Staples
Administrative Assistant | Richmond, VA | Oct 30, 2019
Give you more work than you can accomplish
Management lacking. Husband and wife were Managers. Gave me 2 jobs for the price of one. Didn't support me. Made it so I would resign. Long meetings every morning taking away time from doing jobs.

Great company to work for providing advancement
Overall, Staples is a great company to work for offering advancement, transfer-knowledge, compensation, and overall growth. The leadership team at Staples offers proper guidance and opportunity for all associates to learn and become individual leaders themselves.

Staples print and marketing
It's better than being a red shirt on the floor. Print and marketing gives you license to mess about with programs on their computers and print yourself a bunch of stuff, so that's pretty cool. Downside - boomer customers who can't understand technology. A self-service center with cheaper prices because it's self serve, which you will have to make full service for almost every customer. They just can't figure out how to print their own stuff and you can't not help them.
Pay sucks. Job culture is pretty decent and inclusive. You can refuse to print something hateful or phobic. Some people are a joy to work with and help their ideas become a physical item, which is always cool.

Serious Workplace with Good People
Lots of nice people who are generally very competant at what they do. Serious work environment where you're expected to perform like an adult. Flexible about working-from-home when needed, especially on bad weather days.
Training Supervisor | Arden Hills, MN | Aug 21, 2019
Fast pace
Good work atmosphere, good coworkers. Have gained a lot of solid work experience through the years. Have been able to move to different management roles.

great part time job
This was a great part time job to get me through college. They worked with me on my schedule so that I was able to go to school and work at the same time.

Constant Changes
My overall time with Staples was positive, the pace is fast and the work is challenging but rewarding. the individuals who make up middle to upper management are overall good people.
Program Manager | Framingham, MA | Sep 11, 2019
A very toxic environment with limited opportunity for career growth
Constant change to roles and responsibilities makes it very difficult to get promoted or have a career path. Lack of support from senior management. Continual cut backs has resulted in the lack of resources, overbearing workloads, and a poor work-life balance.

Questions And Answers about Staples
If you were in charge, what would you do to make Staples a better place to work?
Asked Jan 16, 2018
Trim the fat, eliminate redundant or ineffectual programs
Answered Mar 22, 2020
Communication between management and drivers need to be in unison. In my experience, lead drivers barely knew what was going on, the supervisor was unaware of what the manager told the driver to do and it leaves drivers confused.
Do a better job with the safety of the trucks. Numerous times I have been rushed out of the warehouse to deliver. But I took my time during the pre-trip inspection and always found something that could be hazardous on the road - from a gash in the tire or flat tire to a broken spring leaf and uneven weight distributed on the truck because of the loaders from the night prior. These small detail would help drivers stay safe if improved upon.

Does Staples drug test their employees?
Asked Aug 31, 2016
No I never was drug tested however they need to because some employees will come to work high or under the influence of some drugs or possibly alcohol.
Answered Dec 18, 2018
Oregon does a 10 panel drug test at an outside facility. Auburn WA does a cheek swab.

What is the interview process like at Staples?
Asked Jun 13, 2016
Professional interview. I was asked to role play and try to sale a warranty for a chair. I was asked why I wanted to work for Staples and why retail. As a sales associate he offered me $9.00 an hour at 25 hours a week. He said if I am a good employee who does my job well that he will want me to work longer hours as I would be a valued employee for the business. Every employee was friendly and welcoming. The manager was nice and wanted to make sure I would be dedicated before hiring me. All companies want to make sure they are hiring someone who has proven they want to work and not someone temporarily.
