Erasmo
University of Texas Pan-American
Assistant Store Manager

"During my last semester of college I had many different offers from many companies, including the one I had been working at for seven years. There were many factors that persuaded me to join Office Depot. For example, I wanted a company that would allow me to use my personal and educational skills. Today, as I look back, I know I made the right decision. Throughout my entire training process I learned about every aspect of the store, which has been vital to my success as an Assistant Manager. By the time my training was accomplished I was ready to be promoted. Office Depot has proven to me that their most important assets are their employees and customers, two factors that make it a very enjoyable place."

Helpful hints from Erasmo:

• Look ahead and plan accordingly

• If you work hard and look for recognition this is the place for you
