Pros

Above average pay for industry, good coworkers, friendly environment.

Cons

Have to have an open schedule to get good hours, and even then you may not. For example I usually get around 20, which is what I want, but then some weeks out of the blue it's 8. That may be OK for a high schooler but I need to at least know around how many hours I will be working. They call me in to work often, and I will when I can but I'd rather know what to expect.

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.
