Pros

The company has good values, in theory. If you can get into customer service staff its a good place to be. Great compensation for managers

Cons

The managment claims that they care for you, but they do not. THey care only that they meet certain expectations. Are you sick and you work with food? Even though you signed a form saying you wouldn't work with food while you're sick, you're going to get written up if you don't go to work. if you work in the deli department you can look forward to ten hour shifts with only 30 minute breaks. Managment in non responsive.

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.
