Pros

great people to work with. great customers, great products to display, great customer service training.

Cons

very political mgmt if your liked you will go far, i did but i afvocated for better pay for my employees and that did not go over well. I was lynched after that, just as fast as they can make you, they will tear you down, pay isnt any good for salary jobs and employee raises are nickled and dimed, i had 18 yrs with the company and i do not reccommend it for long term they will want you there 24/7 and work you till you drop for little pay.

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.
