Pros

401 k, Company Stoks, etc

Cons

The managment wants to control your life. There is no balance between what you work and the remuneration. Managers are very dominant people and always speak to you with attitude (they put bad face and point with their fingers). If you want more hours you have to work like a dog from 3 pm to 12 am. Very little management knowledge or human resources. They do not know how to treat and encourage employees. The possibility of growing in the company is scarce or null although you make a lot of effort. Managers treat their co-workers as objets, they think because they are on the top they are better than you. No team work, the company make you work over lapping (clock out at 12.00 am and come back a 6.30 am). Some benefits are really bad. Dental is really but really awfull, stocks is a trap.

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.
