Pros

Family environment
fast paced work from warehouse to office
community involved
customer centered at first
employee activities and input were taken seriously

Cons

By end of term, did not like how money was the key to work goals and not customer service or satisfaction. Sending wrong product to customers on purpose and making their ability to return product a challenge so that they would keep and our sales would go up. Very dishonest.

Advice to Senior Management

Remember what it once was; customers being happy made it so that they ordered more. When customers are happy, employees are happier, which in turn, makes emploer happier. Return to basics.

Pros

good employees, good location, good work environment

Cons

managment only promotes those who they are friends with

Pros

Mobility, good opportunities for women/equality in the work place, open door management style, open to new, outside the box thinking. Their corporate office was very impressive in terms of innovation, style, cutting edge look and feel. Fresh thinking and innovative "perception" throughout the organization

Cons

Top heavy management structure was still in force when I worked for them. Not as fresh thinking and innovative as they would have you believe... it was a great company when the founder was at the helm. Not so much after he turned over the reins to others -

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your people well, fairly and equitably and the company will be rewarded 10 fold!

Pros

the close proximity to my home

Cons

dealing with upper mgmt and incompetent staff

Advice to Senior Management

realise that your employees make up the business, not you!

Pros

Nice people. Good work environment with a strong team mindset. The workers were very dedicated and hard working. Good balance of work and fun in a small office feeling.

Cons

Middle and senior management seemed mostly lost.
Lots of promises for future growth, none was ever delivered.
High pressure to meet customer demands with little regard to the resources required. So, everyone got overworked quickly.

Advice to Senior Management

I think the buyout was a good thing overall. Hopefully the Staples management understands how to run a balanced company better.

Pros

Out in field not in office - great group of people in local office

Cons

senior mamagement and customer service call center

Advice to Senior Management

too many changes too quickly - more customer service

Cons

Senior Management not very focused on long-term results

Advice to Senior Management

Choose direction and stick with it!

Pros

Beautiful Location.
Access to office supplies.
Great shopping and golfing within walking distance!
Wonderful Cafeteria!
Convenient Parking.
Excellent Security Personel.
An excess of weekend warriors.

Cons

Overall, one of the most bizarre and inexplicable places I've ever worked. Staff commonly degrades company brand. Much of management has little or no real experience.

Advice to Senior Management

Allow Staples to get rid of the dead wood.
