Pros

>Job had flexible hours, >Pay was at the time good for someone attending college, >opportunities to improve and move up the job/career ladder. >Good amount of hours given.

Cons

>My management had a tendency to not listen to my concerns. I had asked for less hours to help focus on studies (keep in mind i was averaging between 40 hrs per week) , But I was still given an over bearing amount of hours. This also lead to me burning out on varies points of time in this job. >Working hard and doing well at the job paid off at first but management would start expecting far from me i.e. covering others employees tasks or doing an employees assigned task because they were simply not good at doing it. >Had team leaders and certain higher management would micro manage employees to the point where it would hinder work. >Inconsistent hours would and could wear you down mentally. working from 5pm - 1am then coming at 7am to work another set was exhausting.

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.
