Pros

Benefits are definitely a pro. Recently they have been extended to part timers that reach a certain number of hours. Very willing to provide Worker's Compensation in the event of an injury and will actively send information in the event of a Report.

Cons

Management can be borderline abusive. They will provide begrudging assistance and express blame on the team for being incapable of managing an overwhelming rush hour in even the most busy department of their store. We'll be understaffed and unable to maintain a regular flow of the most popular selling items and management will still step back into the kitchen to wonder why you're incapable of making some extra item that corporate is experimenting with this week. Some will be quick to outright lie if they give you bad direction. They will not hesitate to single out an associate and blame them for the mistake of a manager.

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.
