Pros

You get paid every week...that's about it.

Cons

Management sucks. They don't know how to talk to people. Please and thank you is not in their vocabulary. If you speak your mind, you are labeled negative. You have to clean the store (yuck). A lady puked in the bathroom and a poor little bagger had to clean it up. You have to mop, buff, sweep floors, wash windows, clean registers and clean on your hands and knees. It will take you till the day you die to be eligible for stock options if you're part-time. I only worked 6 weeks and quit because I couldn't stand management.

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.
