Pros

Some of the best benefits you will ever find in a company. You get bonuses every quarter based on the length of time you've worked there. There is limitless opportunities to advance being that the company only hires from within and everyone - EVERYONE - starts from the bottom up, so everyone's been in the same position before.

Cons

They are really strict on attendance, which shouldn't be a big con, but most managers aren't flexible when it comes to issues such as illness, car problems, transportation emergencies, etc. Also most of the managers, especially if they've been promoted way too early, have a tendency to either power trip or be very incompetent in their job. Other than that, there aren't that many cons about the company at all.

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.
