Navy Exchange reviews

- Very little opportunity for career advancement. As someone has already commented, managers are almost always outside hires. Supervisors get decent pay, but it may take many years for an associate to even be considered for that position and most associates don't last that long. - Very few full-time positions available. Most everyone is hired as a flex-time, but work full-time hours with absolutely no benefits. The NEX is not above taking advantage of its employees. - Management is often incompetent and does not communicate with its associates and supervisors. Upper management is completely disconnected from the sales associates. - Sales Associates are not given the respect they deserve. If an associate voices a concern, complaint, or offers a suggestion, they are almost always ignored.

You're treated like a thief from the start. All employees have to use clear bags to carry things on the sales floor. While they offer benefits, they come at a cost (about $100 every paycheck for basic coverage). The Navy Exchange is run like the military--branches and hierarchies, neither of which talk to one another, which means that you get stuck in the branch that you entered. The turnover rates for employees are very high.
