Staples

People are at the heart of what we do. Our people are experts that come together to solve problems, support each other, and raise one another to the next level. We always play to win. We’re an inclusive and diverse team. We collaborate, we grow, and we win together. We have opportunities for students in sales, technology, e-commerce, merchandising, finance, supply chain, and more.



What does a typical day look like for an entry-level position? 

From the first moment you start your Staples internship program, you’ll get why people are a top reason why we love working here. We’re invested in our teams and invested in creating an exciting and impactful introduction to your career. It starts with an Intern Welcome Day, where you’ll meet senior leaders, network with peers, and gain valuable insights into our company. Throughout the 11-week program, you’ll engage in professional development sessions and take on meaningful projects that contribute directly to Staples’ goals. During the final week, you’ll present your capstone project, showcasing the skills and experiences you’ve gained, with the potential for a full-time offer if you’re a rising senior.  

  

What can new hires expect during their first 90 days? 

We want to ensure you have a great experience from the moment we meet through your new hire journey. From day one, you’ll receive comprehensive onboarding, meet your managers and other leaders, and start contributing to projects that make an impact on our customers, our business, and our communities. You will understand how your work contributes to Staples’ success and the opportunities you have to expand your skills, your expertise, and your career journey. 

  

What is one benefit or perk a student could look forward to if they worked at Staples?  

At Staples, it’s all about Our People, Our Expertise, and the Impact we can have. We are invested in our people and will be invested in you. That includes providing you with access to projects and development opportunities that will expand your skills, expertise, and career journey. You will collaborate with industry experts who are passionate about their work and about mentoring you now and in the future.  Your work here will be meaningful, directly contribute to Staples’ success, and pave the way for a rewarding and successful career.
