Pros

Better than most dead end jobs. If you get a supervisor to like you, you can move up if you can serve your time long enough. Pay is okay. I have been a stock clerk for a year with above average reviews and I make 11.75 per hour.

Cons

No regard for work life balance. Lied to about schedule when started. Keep you at store until all hours of the night without asking when working a closing shift. Schedule changes every week for no reason. You literally have to do the work of two men if you want to leave at your scheduled time.

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.
