In 1986 Patrick Sher, and Jack Kopkin came up with the idea to have a warehouse style store for office supplies. They wanted to offer people a place to get their items in bulk at discounted prices.

They opened their first Office Depot store in Lauderdale Lakes Florida in October of 1986. They took the store public just a few years later and have enjoyed a consistent growth ever since. By 1995 they had 500 stores in the US, Mexico, and Poland. Shortly after, they opened stores in Thailand, France, and Hungary. By 1998 they had launched a successful website and merged with Viking office products.

Today Office Depot operates over 1,500 stores worldwide and has over 40,000 employees.

Since they have so many stores the biggest employment opportunity is at their retail locations. Customer service specialists are the biggest role available.

As a customer service specialist you’ll be responsible for helping customers with their purchases. You’ll need to help identify customer needs and be able to answer their questions about specific products.
