Pros

It is a non profit federal job. So once you are in unless you completely mess up you dont have to worry about losing your job. The honolulu NEX is a HUGE family. For the most part we all get along and are happy at work. You have MWR privileges like free usage of military gyms, theaters and MWR sponsored classes. I am provided with a free bus pass and CAC.

Cons

The flex, part time, and full time tier is frustrating. Flexs are your entry position. As a flex you have no benefits, single digit pay, and a hard time moving up in the company. In hawaii if you are not local you are not welcome here. It is hard to break through that but if you are a positive person with a good work ethic it is possible.

Pros

I was offered pretty good benefits considering I was only part-time. It included vacation days, sick leave, holiday pay, dental and medical insurance. Our general manager was fair and would listen to any comment you needed to make.

Cons

I was a cashier and mind you, this may just apply with the store I worked for. People would resign and my managers wouldn't fill up the spots in a proper amount of time nor increase everyone's hours. We had gone from 30+ hour weeks to 20-25 hour weeks so we wouldn't mind working more hours. I guess this was their way to save money, I don't know their logic. But we ended up understaffed which frustrated us cashiers and the customers as well who wondered why the lines are so long. I always felt like there was some management that would throw you under the bus. They had a tendency of filling positions without allowing people to know that a position was open to apply for. They claim they were just filling it for the time being but was going to interview people for the position later.

Pros

The Navy Exchange supports the Navy's mission and it's a fairly good place to work compared to the private sector. Benefits are good and there is opportunity to travel.

Cons

The pay isn't as good as the private sector and advancement significantly slows at NF-4 (Middle Management). Policies are vague and left to the discretion of local locations.
