Pros

Great benefits Dedicated employees Good managers I really enjoy the Navy Exchange as a whole. Serving those who serve us is a nice way of giving back to them.

Cons

Compensation is not great. Compared to similar companies, you don't make much. You have the opportunity to make more with KIN sales, but it's mostly your base pay that will be on your paycheck. There's also a lot of politics involved when it comes to promotions and advancing. They tend to put off things like hiring managers or supervisors and just letting that position sit open for 2-4 months on a regular basis.

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.
