Pros

Great benefits (health, vision, dental, LTD, great 401k/stock package), free lunch; provided you like what is being served, very nice & understanding director/manager, fun environment, for the most part... great people. Overall, a great company & enjoyable place to work!

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity to move up when at the daycare, you only get a 30 min. lunch break & no 15 min. breaks, some employees are immature and their bad behavior gets overlooked & it is allowed for a very select few to be insulting to other co-worker's w/ little implications. Pay is not great at daycare, benefits make up for it some though.

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.
