Anything with a 1-way valve like large mylar storage bags. Fresh coffee produces C02 and will puff out any bag that's sealed, especially vaccum packed. Same goes for anything sealed.

I thought about mentioning that, but Ive had mixed results doing that for long term storage, and better results with a big bag.
I find the fridge and freezer greatly mitigate this.
Check out the "Airscape" brand of coffee storage on the internet.
We have two canisters, airtight with locking plungers.
Most times we buy large quantities and store it in the large canister and place a fair amount in the smaller canister that gets opened every day. Nice solid build quality. (my wife labels EVERYTHING

)Plastic can be a viable option, but two things against it depending on use. One, although reusable to a degree, it's wasteful compared to glass jars. Two, if coffee is really fresh and still degassing somewhat that plastic bag seal will be compromised.
Love glass.
When I say plastic I mean a food saver bag, I always make them long so I can reuse them and Ive never seen enough off gassing to overcome the vacuum, but yes any reusable can be considered wasteful compared to glass. I can fit more coffee in making stackable rectangular bags that fit th basket than I can glass.
We've got this or a version of it and for smaller amounts is works great.Check out the "Airscape" brand of coffee storage on the internet.

The one we have the handle is very stiff to close and open, when its at the top its no big deal but as you chase the lid into the jar I get a call from Mrs. UD to help with it.
Im traveling at the moment but will take a picture when I return.
Costco now sells Cashews in glass jars. Two of them hold the beans, IIRC. I fill one and just take the beans from the original package, which h is designed to be resealed.

I have several like this one. They work great. Have the one way vent and keep the beans fresh.

OP asks for office/work type environment use. I would avoid anything made out of glass.
We have all sorts of weird safety requirements in the govt. building where I work. There probably is a prohibition on glass containers.

I know I provided photos of the two that we own, one larger and one small. This is the exact one we have in the larger size.

We also have a second smaller one that is in the photos I previously posted and that one is at the bottom of the page on the above link.

This is what I'm going to suggest to my coworkers. Once I convince them to pitch in the $$ we'll order it.
