Pros

Great management behind the store, flexible hours/shifts, The Navy Exchange supports the Navy's mission.

Cons

The pay is mediocre for an overseas location. Overseas locations also mean the store is staffed primarily by military spouses on the non-management level which provides a lot of drama.
