Pros

Guaranteed hours as a full timer & benefits

Cons

You will be overworked. Management will talk to you in an unprofessional manner. They will try to schedule you outside of your availability . There isn’t any real opportunity for promotion without years of doing your management’s job , your job , passing the test , plus the extra waiting period unless you wanna get sent 1 1/2 -2 hours away to be promoted. Unethical & Discretionary management practices Hr & corporate dont do anything they just try to gather information on the situation to see if they can get out in front of it by trying to fire you

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.
