Pros

Good advancement opportunities, fellow associates are good to work with.

Cons

Bonuses got taken away, and the .65 cent raise is a joke. Less and less hours allotment to get job done every couple months. Expect 2 people to get 5 people's job done which is unacceptable for a department that does 30k a day. Upper management who has never worked in a department think they know what's best for the department. Big disconnect between managers and employees. A multi billion dollar company that puts band aid's on broken equipment.

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.
