Office Depot

I Used To Work Here
August 2011-​September 2013
In The Beginnin’ It Was Good
Good Workers And Good People
Once The Good People And
Good Workers Left
Things Started To Drastically Change…
A «Revolvin’ Door» Was Happenin’
Especially Management…
KISSIN’ ASS AND FAVORITISM
WAS THEIR REAL MOTTO
OVER REAL WORK
I Wasn’t Treated Right
Especially By Management Who Are Still Their Currently… Supposedly I Had Bad Attitude, That Wasn’t Really The Case…
I Had More Experience With The «Work Politics»
Than Others So I Knew More,
I Guess They Didn’t Like It
Also They Tried To Force Me To Choose
My Other Job Or Them
Which Isn’t Right (I Had Two Jobs That Time)
That Place Isn’t Solid
It Reminded Me Too Much Of
«WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLIN’»
Under Eric Bischoff And Vince Russo
Where They Let «The Inmates Run The Asylum»
How I Saw It… It Was THE TRUTH
Bein’ «FIRED» For Not Buildin’ A Chair
They had employees who could built it next morning, but management didn’t do their job PROPERLY… I Got Blame For It…
I was OFF The NEXT DAY
I’m Honestly Glad I Ain’t Their Anymore
Do Feel Bad For The «ROOKIES»
Listenin’ To The So Called
«BEST BOSSES IN THE WORLD»
Which THEIR NOT IN MY OPINION,
Another Note
«Zonin’ And Callin’ Your Zone, Couldn’t Leave Your Zone To Help A Customer And What The Customer Was Buyin’ Was REALLY ANNOYIN’»
100% KEEPIN’ IT REAL
STAPLES Bought Out OFFICE DEPOT
This Location Is Likely Gonna Close
Bc The One Up The Street Gets More Revenue
If STAPLES Ends Up Keepin’ This Location
…RE-​STRUCTURE
Everything From Scratch
STARTIN’ WITH MANAGEMENT (Current Store
And Department/​Copy Print Managers)
Keep Only Albert, Carmen And Ervin
The Others Should Either Be FIRED
OR TRANSFERRED
Recently My Brother In Law And My Sister Took Their All In One Computer For Tech Services
THEY DIDN’T DO A FAIR JOB
THEY MISPLACE ITEMS AND DOCUMENTS
It Wasn’t PROPERLY PLACE
«ROOKIE» LIKELY DID IT

you have the worse customer service i’ve ever dealt with. you basically stole my mother’s money and sent her laptop to a store 2 hours from her house and wouldn’t credit her

Bad service. Got charged for picture manipulation. When all I wanted was the picture to fit on the screen. They took for ever to help me out. Do not print at this store. They also charge me extra to print on both sides when in other office Depot stores dont.

This review is for the copy/​print section only as that has been my only experience at this place. I needed one inch round color labels printed for the next day, and had the wrong format. The manager working the print area really holds it down. She was courteous, knowledgable, helpful, and an all around pleasant person. Not fake pleasant, for real pleasant which I so appreciate as that seems to be hard to find. People come in for printing jobs and she knows them by name, (like what is this Cheers Office Depot version?). Of course no one younger than me will get that reference… Anyways soon I felt like I could trust her with the job I needed. They have wifi and I was able to download the correct format, and have my friend work with me to get it right. The manager offered to do it for me for something like $ 7.00 I didn’t because my friend took care of it. But the price was WAY reasonable, so I was glad that it was an option if needed. Not like Staples who was like «I can do it but we charge $ 25» Bye Staples. Prices of course were reasonable all around and even though I decided to print on the first day of Mercury retrograde, and had all these little blips I stayed cool, she was awesome and the job got done. I came back the next day (more prepared) and again same performance and service. If I need a lot of copying and printing, the is my go to spot. PopCopy/​Kinkos, eat your heart out, all of your employees put together have nothing on this one manager in Office depot on Fig. At least in my experience…

This Office Depot is located in an urban area servicing many, many small, independent business owners. Because small business owners frequently do not have the resources to employ their own in-​house print shops, they depend on places such a Office Depot to accommodate their printing/​copy needs.
We were in town to attend an event at the Los Angeles Convention Center and needed printing/​copy services «yesterday». I arrived to Office Depot after having been turned down from a «too busy» establishment up the street. Tammy, the print technician, was already busy helping 3 other customers with their jobs, but took the time to advise me on paper choices and get my job done relatively fast, efficiently and with friendly service — something I would think would be very difficult when helping three other clients with equally important needs.
The only criticism I would say is get this poor girl some help! Tammy was the only person at the counter and was so busy, it took some time for me to get this job (about 25 copies) done.
Thank you Office Depot and Tammy, for getting us back in business!

Good store with several great deals. The Staff there is always willing to help you out and will go the extra step to check their online or warehouse inventory to make sure you get the product (s) you are looking for.
Albert Cortez helped me out and was very courteous and professional.

Went in this morning to get a folder bound. I have done this before and it takes 5 minutes. Went in today right at opening at waited to be told that they now take orders and it wouldn’t be ready for 24 hours. Umm what!!! Was told to go to staples to see if they could do it. Well thank you to the wonderfully lazy person at he counter I went to Staples and the person there had a line and still got it done! Great attitude, saw her multitasking and she still finished with a smile. Thank you Office Depot for making me a new Staples customer. I didn’t know there was a store so close to my location but I will use them from now on.

They’re really nice here and they try really hard, but the infrastructure or training or something needs to be improved. I’m still waiting for my order an hour later because it’s been printed and misprinted again and again, binded wrong, etc.
The first time it was printed half the double sided pages were printed upside down to it was unreadable. Then it was binded with a cheaper method than I payed for online.
I’ve been here several times and it always takes forever to get it right. But it’s the cheapest place around and the people are really nice so I keep coming back.

Juat came to buy two shredders for the office and received the best help… an employee name oscar was very nice … he helped with getting best options…. very happy with how helpfull he was.

i came in looking for a particular item that was not that easy to find. when i found it, the price was OK. what bothers me is that i was looking around for several minutes and when i would approach an office depot employee, they would make eye contact, and quickly look and walk in the opposite direction. it was clear they were doing this to avoid work and continue pacing around talking to each other. one employee was even on the floor standing with his face to a wall and on his cell phone (you could tell he was talking to a girlfriend, wife, or baby’s mama). the manager of this place should fire some of these bozos. they add no value to the store and make a bad impression on customers.

This place is a Hit and Miss in regards to service. I have been here before where we would be greeted and were very helpful to us find what we want. Today on the other hand was their not so good day. 6 employees on the floor, none able to help me find a new chair. I am outta here.

Good place to shop

I walked into the store and was greeted by someone quickly. The two staff members that I spoke too helped me find the calculator I was looking for and even informed me that I could price match with the online price. The cashier process was a little slow though and could be improved. Also, I noticed the layout of the store was a little outdated and could be formatted differently to make the image and atmosphere more contemporary.

If you are a Trade Tech student, don’t bother. They only want the business of USC students, according to their discount policy. It makes no sense, they are right next door to LATTC, but I guess we are too poor and scummy for them, and our money has cooties or something. Jerks.
On another point, they are very expensive, and seem to have a smaller selection than Staples or even other Office Depot locations. They are the only game in this part of town, and they know that. Try to go elsewhere or shop online if you can.

I went to this Office Depot to look at a computer and ask some questions. I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed with Brallan (pronounced Brian). His expertise on tablets, programs, OS for phones, tablets and computers was so helpful, and he was very professional. He outlined a few options for me very patiently and thoroughly. The service at this Office Depot was excellent because of Brallan. (I have been to this location numerous times and the service has always been good, but Brallan really raised the bar!)

I recently purchased a new laser printer and some other office supplies at this Office Depot. I had originally gone to this store to get my old printer serviced. But when I was there, the new manager, Jose Gomez, suggested that I may want to invest in a new printer, rather then spend money to service an old one. Jose showed me a new laser printer that was on sale. He promised to honor the sale price, even if the sale ended. Initially, I did continue to use the older printer, and just bought parts for it, rather than buying a new one. But after a few weeks, I realized Jose was correct, so I went back to the store to buy the printer he had shown me. Jose kept his word and honored the sale price. Now I have a good piece of office equipment at a great price! I am happy!
Overall, I had a great experience at Office Depot, mainly because of Jose Gomez. The store recently hired him because of his expertise in management and customer service. I definitely think they did the right thing. He will take this store to the next level.
Jose really cares about his customers and goes the extra mile to make sure they are satisfied. If I could, I would give him 10 stars. I recommend that if customers have questions about products or services and they need to talk to a manager, to ask for Jose!
I have shopped in this store in the past. If I were to rate my past experience at office Depot, I would have given them a 2 or a 3. In the past, they did not seem to be as customer service oriented. But things have changed since Jose came on board.
It is funny because I used to be a regular customer of Staples Office supplies. I had a few questions about getting my older printer serviced. I decided not to call Staples because they often keep people on hold for long periods of time. Also, you often don’t get a live person answering the phone. Just their voice mail.
That was the main reason I shopped at Office Depot this time. I had a few questions. I wanted to call and talk to someone first, before driving out there.
Now I am a convert. From this point forward, I will probably shop for all of my office needs at Office Depot.

They fix computers here in addition to selling office supplies. I stll prefer staples but really they’re about the same.

Came in to print a brochure for my final project because I wanted to avoid the hellhole that is the FedEx Kinko’s (or at least from what I’ve heard…) I was helped by Tracy, who was the assistant store manager. He was so nice and helpful. I came prepared and had my document on a USB in three different formats so it wasn’t hard for him to help me either. He printed my document more than once and didn’t charge me when the printer messed up.
Tracy informed me that USC students get a 5% discount off everything at Office Depot and like 50% off printing! Such a good deal. Should’ve cost $ 2.50 for what I printed but it ended up only costing $ 1.25! :) YAY!
Will definitely coming back here if I need to print more things.

Not the best, most well-​stacked Office Depot I’ve been to.
Not too organized either, as I couldn’t spot things where they normally should be… (or at least in my mind: P)
Still, it’s good to have one of these in the neighborhood.

A nicely spacious Office Depot? Hell yeah. Normally, im used to a small cramped shop with narrow aisles crammed with product. This particular shop is the complete opposite. They have about 15 — 20 parking spots and you can also park on the roof. Inside, you’ll be happy with the open floor plan, well organized displayed items, and dept signage.
Sometimes its rare to find decent customer service people, but i was happy to find a few good employees here. I came in to pick up some blank dvd+r and some ink for my printer. The female employee at the counter got my ink quickly and without a hassle. I also got a good deal on the 25 dvd+r bundle.
