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.
