Work is not worth the pay. Working there is more of an "I have nothing else to do at home" kind of employment. - Anonymous employee Navy Exchange Employee Review

Pros

SOME of your co-workers will get along with you. You get to shop there, that's pretty much it.

Cons

The work you do there is not worth the pay! It's retail, what do you expect? Clothes, dozens of customers, markdowns, floor changes, go-backs, and floor maintenance is all over the place. Majority of employees are women, so there is ALOT of "she did this" and "she did that." DRAMA CENTRAL! Managers are too big headed about themselves too.

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.
