Pros

Great place to work if you can quickly get full time and don't come in during a decrease in overall business.

Cons

If you don't quickly get full time, look elsewhere. If your area takes a hit due to competition, and immediate hold gets placed on making anyone full time. 6 months full time is a requirement to start the process to be considered for a promotion to any management level position. If you get stuck with a lazy full time worker in your department, you just have to deal with it until you either leave or transfer to another department/store.

Pros

Good compensation including not just standard pay, but also end of year bonus 80 hours for hourly associates, 8% of your annual earnings granted to you in free company stock thru which quarterly dividends are paid, ok 401k, and gift card and other associate coupons. Good stability and growth. Good company culture.

Cons

Can be slow and resistant to change. Uses some antiquated systems and software that should have been replaced years ago. Does some things that don't make sense. Some managers can be good, while others not very good. Although these cons may be true for a lot of companies. All roads eventually lead to Lakeland where they are headquartered. Geography can be a big one if you are not a Florida native. If you don't want to live in Florida for some legitimate reasons, there can be limited job options in other states, especially if you aren't interested in retail or warehouse jobs. Standard retail negatives about not having a lot of holidays off.
