Pros

For full timers, great benefits. Part timers get an hour of PTO every 80 worked hours. Usually a positive work environment, but it depends on the store. Have to work your way up, you can't just get nepo-babied into management.

Cons

Despite how all managers start out like anyone else, the work is hard and the way they treat you shows for it. I have had some nasty managers in my experience. I have also had some great ones. Part timers either get over worked (but never enough for overtime) or never get any hours. Expect your schedule to be extremely inconsistent if you are lucky enough to have a regular schedule. If they like you and you are a good worker, you will get more hours but your schedule will be all over the place and do not be surprised if you get close-opens.

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.
