Pros

Great pay for the field. Excellent benefits offered after 90 days of employment. 401 K available after one year. Best leave and holiday program. 10 paid holidays and 4 hours annual and 4 hours sick leave per pay period. 6/6 for veterans and former military. Worldwide company with and excellent chance to travel the world.

Cons

Because this is a government retail establishment, there are certain unrealistic expectations of the employees. Also there are very limited promotions from within. Most management positions are filled from outside hires. Often a person working as a supervisor for 5 years in one location will have to train two or three new managers. This is disappointing and discouraging.

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.
