Pros

The customers & a lot of the employees are great. You can move up in positions & learn a lot while working there. There are many opportunities to advance or change dept that allow you to learn & grow.

Cons

Just like it's a pro, the customers & sometimes the employees make it hard to work there. It's a lot of work & some times unrealistic expectations. A lot of stress and non appreciation for the staff & the work they do.

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.
