Great job initially getting B2B experience! As soon as the company went from public to private, metrics started to change and even though I had worked with my team to outperform our sales quota, I was put on a PIP because the team was not selling enough Premium membership programs. After giving them six loyal years, I would have been fired for simply missing the membership mark even though we had gone from 45% when I was promoted to 112% by the time I put in my two weeks. This was after I had to performance manager 6 reps off the team, rebuilding with 6 new reps that I trained and coached.

The amount of work compared to the compensation is what drove such a low rating for Staples. The 1% raises at the end of the year are unacceptable, and the role is too broad too. The company tried to infiltrate too many industries instead of focusing on its strong points. This resulted in confusion within the role, and constant restructuring of our sales motion.

My experience was overall positive. I worked with some large customers who are happy to take your call, and Staples has a positive view of customers in the marketplace. The downside is that, with being run by private equity, you always felt like you were one bad month away from being let go.
