How employees describe working at Staples
The printing department in all locations of port saint lucie and ft pierce need alot of attention. Worst experiences of any stores i have bever been to. Total garbage.
I had a good experience however, sometimes, goals are not SMART (i.e., rewards per customer, # of electronics warranties sold, turnaround time). I had a great time while working at the copy and print center.
Staffing turn over is to frequent. The manager has no basic common sense of math.
Review from Operations Dept
New manager whose learning and making drastic changes and the moral is in the gutter
I was a part-time worker, so I was not eligible for any sort of compensation or benefits, so asking me about this kind of question is not necessary.
