* Job security * Good work/life balance * Decent benefits beyond medical, dental and pension * Tax free shopping benefit and the exchange * Career opportunities are there for those with ambition

Cons

* In some locations, too many chiefs and not enough Indians * Unbalanced, unrealistic customer service / task expectation inhibits productivity * Due to change in culture in the NEX system, there is a vast difference in the skill set and ambition level between tenured employees and new hires

Pros

- Job itself is quite easy - Don't have to deal with full public - Health benefits are nice - Get access to tax free product. - Very generous time off/sick time compared to other companies

Cons

- Management can be difficult to work with and seems inexperience in the technology that the workers are using to do their jobs. - registers, scanner guns, payroll software, store technology in general feels very outdated by todays standers and make it difficult to do my job. -Taking time off is difficult because of how poor management is with operating payroll software. - Hardly any training for new staff. - People that need to be fired aren't let go, but people that do a good job leave because management doesn't do anything about it except file a report. - Constant rotating staff that seems to be never questioned why they're leaving. - Pay is insulting compared to other companies.
