OfficeMax Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at OfficeMax full-time for more than a year

Pros – Flexible Scheduling. Some great co-workers. Decent benefits with 401k. Great DM for DFW, he has a great motive to improve customer service across the area(however, not all of the SMs are on the same page).

Cons – SMs keeping unnecessary people(people with attendance and productivity issues) on staff. Payroll constantly being cut. Horrible executive decisions from Merchandising and Marketing teams. Constantly having to touch different tasks multiple times over and over again. Some Managers have been kept for to long, may be burnt out... Moving up from the Supervisor level will involve some politics, getting on a SMs' good side, and getting involved with events.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop cutting retail store payroll and start cutting positions in the Corporate buildings, stores are already having a hard time with managing customers when there's a 3:10 customer:employee ratio in every store and you want us to do 10 times more with 10 times less payroll. Get a grip on decision making and stop dropping tons of task on the retail stores that are due during busy seasons like BTS, Holiday, BTB, etc...

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
