Pros

The Navy Exchange supports the Navy's mission and it's a fairly good place to work compared to the private sector. Benefits are good and there is opportunity to travel.

Cons

The pay isn't as good as the private sector and advancement significantly slows at NF-4 (Middle Management). Policies are vague and left to the discretion of local locations.

Pros

Buying at the NEX (Tax free items, Scratch Cards. Clearance, Gas) & Base Access (Gym, Commissary, Amenities)

Cons

immediate supervisors were ignorant in how to manage multiple tasks and people despite working over a decade at establishment. Completely ruined working environment for sales associates if they did not like you.
