OfficeMax Employee Review

I have been working at OfficeMax part-time for more than a year

Pros – - easy job, once you've got the swing of things it's hard to mess up
- easy to take days off
- company improving
- commissions

Cons – - Officemax has high prices. Customer likes to let you know this.
- OfficeMax has very few advantages over its competitors, if any.
- Upward mobility is stagnant (they hire managment externally often from what I've seen), introducing new positions that don't get paid more so there is the *appearance* of mobility
- often hard to get hours
- they really push the warranties, warranties, warranties and need employees to push them like mad and push the employees to push WARRANTIES. If you can't sell warranties or don't want to, this company isn't for you.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
