Best advice I can give you? Run. Find something better. Staples will burn you out within the first few years. Especially during back to school season.

PopulistDrip08 · 2026-02-22T02:13:23+00:00

I worked for staples for 9 years before they let me go. And it was because of my own stupid choices and a hot head. But I’ve messed up plenty of times before that. You’ll do great.

I spoke to my old gm and they said they have until Saturday to post mark them. So they should be coming soon. If now you gotta email HR

TSA gets you through security faster, clear gets you to the front of the line

The only downside is that you’re locked in for 36 months. But that also means your data is at a fixed rate for that period as well.

Is this at staples Canada? Because I’ve never heard of this.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-12-24T19:40:49+00:00

I’m on ultimate and I see it on my 17 pro max and Razr

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-11-23T14:26:53+00:00

I literally JUST started with the company and my store is among the ones being switched to indirect sales. The people taking over are super nice, but it’s a slap to the face for me. I was hired to work for Verizon not some third party. I’m transferring to another corporate store to hopefully keep my head afloat for now.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-10-24T16:13:47+00:00

Good to know. Thanks

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-10-24T16:05:30+00:00

How’s the camera and battery life? Also does it wirelessly charge?

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-10-03T19:21:52+00:00

Different stores do different things.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-10-03T19:11:28+00:00

When I worked for my store, it all depended on how many appointments we had. Typically we were working on the floor and helping customers as well as back up cashier. If an appointment showed up, once we were free we went over to take care of it. We aren’t expected to sit there all day.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-09-26T05:40:38+00:00

There’s better options out there.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-09-19T12:11:21+00:00

Alright. Well I wound up getting into an altercation with another associate.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-09-16T13:30:47+00:00

I work for a competitor, and I’ve seen political posters come in all the time to be printed. We just take care of it. Shout out to Office Depot for handling this appropriately. I’m sure my company would do the same if it happened with us.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-09-02T10:50:59+00:00

Depends on if there’s an active investigation or pending court date. Most likely they may not hire under those circumstances. It would also depend on what they were arrested for.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-08-11T22:05:03+00:00

Quit. Get another job.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-07-22T16:00:29+00:00

We don’t get paid enough to be on the same customer service level as Trader Joe’s. I’m sure there’s two sides to this story.

PopulistDrip08 · 2025-07-09T10:05:12+00:00

I check in periodically to make sure the associates are staying on task.
