How employees describe working at Office Depot
Compensation was less than what I requested when hired. Expected to juggle and be proficient in many different granular tasks. Have to meet wildly inflated rewards and sales goals in order to receive higher wages and be promoted.
They offered me more money than I asked for.
Customer service, policy, ethics and all around service. They make up their policy by location and nothing is in concrete with the company. Each location closes earlier than other stores
A lot of responsibilities for not a lot of money.
It was awful. Managers were awful. I quit because if the way a manager treated me as well as costumers.

We don’t do team outings — usually the manager provides food or snacks brought in and we have things for our breaks or lunches and our Christmas parties are at the store after store closing
There are no team outings for the Face of the company, only the corporate employees. The people that actually make the company are disregarded and unappreciated. No company holiday party or morale and unity building outings ever. The Bendore treat the stir level employees better that the company itself. Then they wonder why the company is doing the perverbial rope-a-dope and getting its ass handed to itself.
