Pros

I moved up fast because I wanted to grind. Although it has it's cons, it is the attitude of the person to reach. It's definitely doable to move up easy if you apply yourself. This is not a labor all place. You can do it all if you show you want to. Management can be tricky but it's far better than other companies I've worked for in the past. Pay is good (before inflation)

Cons

Management could be better but not horrible. Pay should be more now after COVID and inflation.

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.
