Pros

One upside is gaining various skills to bolster your resume, although it might be tiring for some. But nothing else really here.

Cons

The absence of a rationale behind the prohibition on remote work for all employees remains perplexing. Specifically, while employees residing outside the state of Florida enjoy the flexibility of remote work, those within the state are inexplicably deprived of this option no matter how long they've been an employee. Consequently, individuals situated in areas such as Miami or the Keys are compelled to endure arduous commutes spanning 5-6 hours to the office twice weekly. Despite the passage of several months, no reason has been provided for this policy, suggesting its indefensibility. The work environment fosters a culture characterized by intense competition, rapid pace, and toxicity. Employees frequently find themselves compelled to extend their work hours unnecessarily, without clear justification. The company's approach to work lacks progressiveness, often appearing to move in a regressive direction. Development processes seem to lag, employing antiquated technologies and methodologies that contribute to sluggish progress and outdated practices. Salaries are lower than the standard.

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.
