What Staples employees say about their job

  • Best thing

    I really do like helping customers and I didn’t want to work in food service. I also do have points I can add to my resume for a more professional job

    Worst thing

    You don’t realize it’s basically a manual labor job until you’re working it. It’s 8 hours on your feet, going up and down ladders with boxes of various weights, constantly moving/pushing something, and despite all this motion you need to be chipper for the customers. I left a lot of shifts physically exhausted and happy to be able to sit down in my car.
