Pros

Great Money, Great people, Opportunities to advance and move all the time. When you finally do learn this job your ability to make huge money becomes easy. Four day work week :)

Cons

Work load, early/long hours 4am-2pm sometimes longer... The job is in a 0 degree environment. Takes a lot of physical work your body better be in shape or this job will be way harder. That said I work with more then a few out of shape guys I don't know how they do it.

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.
