Office Depot Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The managers set a positive tone, that almost all staff follow...

Review from Business Development Dept

there is nothing positive within this company.

My coworkers. Location management and above certainly isn’t making this lis

We all just get along. Theres no drama involved. It's the best I've seen. We're all there to do our job, we chat and buddy with each other but there's never any gossip for behind the back talk. If one fails we all fail, so we all see the best in each other and want each other to do well

My coworkers are absolutely awesome.

Review from Sales Dept

Hard to say if there are any positives, none are particularly obvious. I supposed to vague focus on satisfying customer needs is admirable, but that is more in service of selling customers more than what they need.

Some of the coworkers and managers are able to make the day go buy quickly with great communication accross the board and an overall good attitude towards everything.

Teamwork makes the dream work

Review from Operations Dept

There is no positive I'm sorry to say.

it's shit and unfortunately, it's that way at most stores no matter how much everyone tries to make it better. Every store is so similar and the issues are all the same just at different scales. So much is unique or much of it is worse than other companies.

A select few coworkers, and customers create the positive environment and culture. However, many customers and a few coworkers bring negative energy and make things unpleasent.

The job is very easy I don't have a problem with the environment. I just believe we need better managers.

The coworkers. Everyone is suffering so everyone knows how to be nice.

My boss gives support and encouragement

Review from Sales Dept

Nice people are there I guess

There is nothing positive currently.

We all work as a team to help.people and solve problems

Review from Sales Dept

Work life balance is the only positive

Review from Sales Dept

There is absolutely nothing positive about it.

Review from Sales Dept

Friendly and very thoughtful for everyone

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The company believes in a very low staffing model but expects high levels of success. They do not have a plan on how to achieve this success with the limited resources.

the managers, the whole team

More transpancey from leadership and more equitable compensation.

More incentives. They don't value employees

Review from Operations Dept

Innovation, quality, value, and service. If you cant manage thise, not much else matters.

HOLD WOKERS ACCOUNTABLE. Dont reward clock milkers by letting them leave early while making lesser paid workers stay longer to save money. Many times Ive had to work late while a coworker who avoids working at all cost leaves after 8hrs because he had a higher wage and they didnt want to pay hum OT.

Get rid of district managers who are static in strategic view

Treat everyone equally in the work setting .

Review from Sales Dept

Low cost model is ridiculous

train more managers to multitask

Review from Sales Dept

Clear job descriptions, better infrastructure, less fear and courage to plan for the future.

Review from Operations Dept

More money better people better help

Review from Customer Support Dept

In desperate need of leadership. They need to cleanup middle management

Review from Business Development Dept

Better pay. Too authoritarian. Always negative from the executive team down to the general manager for not meeting random numbers for subscriptions. Invest in the emloyees. Listen to what we have to say. We are on the front lines and know how to serve our customer base. Get back to basics.

Review from Customer Support Dept

The people in head quarters needs to really ask and listen to the lowly people like cashiers and floor staff to making the programs work

Review from Sales Dept

Listen to the employees and customers and stop assuming you know what everyone needs.

Review from Sales Dept

Horrible. Terrible. Toxic. No one wants to be there.

everyone should know how to work print

Review from Sales Dept

They need to respect their employees,, realize they are people that are doing a thankless job day in and day out,, they really don't respect or appreciate that

Review from Operations Dept

be more communicative to it's employees, at least pretend to care about them
