Pros

Hourly Full -time and Part-Time associates will receive bi-yearly reviews/evaluations and typically a $0.25, (sometimes more), raises for each evaluation until you max out your pay for your job class. If you do your job well, are punctual, and friendly providing outstanding customer service, you will have the opportunity to get promotions and advance. The 401k Smart Plan is great and available to all associates, full and part time, once you have reached six months of your hire date. Another bonus is hours, hours, hours! Do your job to the best of your ability, show up on time ect. and you will get a lot of hours.

Cons

Crazy Schedules, fluctuating from early morning, mid-shifts, and closing shifts can throw some people for a loop and can mess with your sleeping habits

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.
