Pros

The people are great. Management is really flexible with time off and schedule changes. You get lots of little perks, like discounted copies, and sometimes even old equipment. It's a great job if you are looking to get through college.

Cons

It's the only place I've ever worked where customers can demand when they will get their project done. You can't go to Jiffy Lube and tell them you want your car worked on, and it's gonna be done in 20 minutes, yet people will say I need 5,000 copies in a half hour. You have to do your best to comply or management will get really upset. People also expect great technological advancements, but they don't even know how to run a fax machine? The customers can be the worst part of the job. You'll also have to work many nights and weekends when you are first starting out.

Pros

Have a Strong staff and great customers -for the most part. Don't see my boss but 1-2 month.

Cons

The corp fluff to accomplish something. Setting all these goals and targets then forget about 90% until it's time to do the yearly "anonymous" survey. Then you see which stores had how many surveys done. 🙄 Keep it short and sweet it would be more effective. Have outstanding customer service but don't do anything personal in your store to recognize your customers. Be different but don't show it 😂 Working for Amazon now with no more pay. It benefits the store not us in our paychecks. At times unrealistic expectations with a high volume store and a staff of 4-5.
