      Pros

      Always something to do. With enough patience, communication with management, you can move into different departments. Small raises at regular intervals. A great place to get your start.

      Cons

      Hard to get full-time unless you get "in" with the right people. Maybe once upon a time you could start at the bottom and with hardwork get into a assistant manager position, but it certainly doesn't happen anymore. Lost lots of good people who worked departments for a decade and get passed over for someone straight out of college. The senior management seem to have been able to work their way up the ladder, but newer managers never had to, creating a disconnect because they have no idea what it's like to be the grunt.

      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.
