Store Manager

"It is what it is."

What do you like about working at Office Depot?

"Nothing at all. The salary was decent, but the conditions were miserable."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Until the culture there changes, run, as fast as you can."

What don't you like about working at Office Depot?

"Poor leadership from the top on down. They take a very simple operation, like retail, and make it as difficult as possible. They try and micro manage their stores from corp without setting foot in one.They are ethically bankrupt. They cheat their customers as well as their employees.They need to get out of the computer business and go back to what brought them to the dance, supplies and copy and print."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get your people on your side because they are not. Stop selling computers that you lose money on and focus on higher margin merchandise like supplies and peripherals. If you put more emphasis on copy and print and customer service, I mean real customer service, you might survive. Your sales will drop for a while, but your profit to sales ratio will be the highest in the industry, and that's what investors want to see."

Assistant Manager

"God help you if you need a life outside the company."

What do you like about working at Office Depot?

"The diversity of the people and exposure to different aspects of operations."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"DON'T."

What don't you like about working at Office Depot?

"Always cutting hours, always short staffed, always complaining about the balance of work to people available to do the job. Indifferent to your needs and goals, more focused on what have you done for me today, rather than past performance."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Allow more hours for night crew. Need people on floor to recover and close. So you can get home at a decent hour."
