Disappointment

Pros

Good pay and retirement plan, could definitely retire as a millionaire if you move into department management or higher, without any kind of higher education.

Cons

Long hours, high stress, no set schedule at all, always worked weekends, low staff with high production. Not a job for the outside of work, social person.

Not the greatest

Pros

Fair pay for the Lakeland area. From what I've heard, other areas at corporate enjoy their jobs.

Cons

Promotions will provide a decent pay increase but once you've been a Principal for a while, you will likely never get close to the top of your pay scale. The pay increases are designed to get you to the middle of the pay scale quickly. Once you reach the middle, your pay raises will barely cover annual cost of living increases.

You'll be a millionaire (if you last)

Pros

Good Profit plan. They give you approximately 8% of your earnings each year in company stock. Anybody with 20 years service is likely to be a millionaire.

Cons

Low pay. The limit on your 401k contributions is 10% . This works out to about 1/5 of the amount allowed by the government. I was a baker for more than 12 years and I ran all day every day and still they wanted more output.
