“Life at Staples is crazy good. The training and support is top notch. The benefits and culture of the company are super and wonderful. And the amount of money you can make is crazy good, too.”
“I’ve been extremely fortunate to build my career with Staples brands. I started working as a co-op supporting our marketing team and that grew into a full-time job when I graduated. From there, I’ve enjoyed a bunch of different roles. It’s been an opportunity to build on my skill set while learning something new and adding value from every past role.”

“I always thought of Staples as an office supply store. My friends thought almost the same thing. Then I realized it’s so much more than a place people buy back to school and office supplies. Staples truly has a passion to work with businesses, small and large, and really wants to see them succeed.”
