Staples Employee Reviews for Resident Technician

"I worked for 5 years hoping to improve the work environment, however Staples was not interested in spending money to improve. They wanted sales people and not real techs. They provided very little tools, many of which I had to bring from home just to do my job (but staples did not approve of unauthorized tools) in reality you could not do much repairs using only their tools. The pay was the worst for such a position, they also expected unrealistic sales goals that you had to juggle with repairing computers, helping people find stuff like pens etc, cashiering, and merchandising. Basically you had to do the job of 5 employees, while trying to make sales goals and repair computers. Staples uses 3rd parties to try and repair PC's, so they can do as little as possible and get the most money. In short, Staples was the worst job I have ever had the displeasure of working for. You would be better off at Microcenter, Fry's or Best Buy."

"I worked there for a few months, learned all I could. The supervisor I had and I had different work styles and he didn't care for our differences. I liked going to people's houses and business for repairs, help my growth with tech and service."
