Pros

The management is the best I ever worked with in my 15 yrs of working. If you care, well, let's just say they like you and will push you ,I mean push you to the top to be very successful. I became full time within 7 months and became a bakery clerk to a baker title 4 months after I went full time. Working hard and being patient really really pays off. Planning on taking the assistant baker manager test in the months to come.

Cons

Hours vary but dedication is most important otherwise I do not have any issues

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.
