Pros

pay is good for entry level and they have amazing benefits like the employee stock ownership plan and free lunch everyday. Great place to work if you dont have an education. There are actually quite a few people in entry level jobs that retire millionaires because of their stock plan (my aunt included). Granted they stayed with the company their whole life but without an education thats hard to beat. They compensate very well but the work is not fulfilling to ze soul. Its actually physically painful to go in everyday. Sure you can do it for a while because you cant beat the pay but after some time it gets pretty miserable. If you want to do physical labor for the rest of your life then this is the place to do it

Cons

lots of work almost too many hours sometimes and while youre there it doesnt matter your job title, youre doing whatever they need you to do that day. "Oh you moved out of that position because you cant stand it? Sorry bud we need you to go pull some cases"

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.
