Pros

Great benefits Dedicated employees Good managers I really enjoy the Navy Exchange as a whole. Serving those who serve us is a nice way of giving back to them.

Cons

Compensation is not great. Compared to similar companies, you don't make much. You have the opportunity to make more with KIN sales, but it's mostly your base pay that will be on your paycheck. There's also a lot of politics involved when it comes to promotions and advancing. They tend to put off things like hiring managers or supervisors and just letting that position sit open for 2-4 months on a regular basis.

Pros

The customers are some of the best in the world and are a joy to work with compared to most retail locations. Even the Managers and Supervisors make working with them rather painless; they even help out on the floor often. I've got great coworkers who like myself were screened rather meticulously before being hired.

Cons

The pay is minimal, just barely surpassing minimal wage and benefits only become open to full and part-time workers. Flex-workers average a good six months before they are brought on full or part-time. The technology used is not the best; the cash registers are slow and glitchy... we've had them since last May.
