Pros

Many benefits such as health, dental, vision insurance, paid holidays, sick and vacation time. There's rare opportunity to move aboard and more options for a transfer across nation with company. Great opportunity for Navy dependents with a continuity program.

Cons

The growth potential has seemed to dwindle in the years since I've started. There also seems to be a disconnect in many areas from corporate level to the store interactions.

This job is not going away as long as we have a navy. You can earn a lot of time off.

The pay is not very good. I only left because I wanted a job that pays more.
