Pros

Great Benefits and room to grow with the company if you show drive

Cons

I felt like it is easy to get taken advantage of if you are a good employee.. your fellow employees will put extra work on you if they know they can get away with it and management will too if they know you want to get a promotion.. they really put people through the ringer before they promote to the point that it is just way too mentally and physically exhausting.. You pretty much marry your job in exchange for the "great benefits" they peddle

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.
