Pros

Decent benefits for a company based in central Florida.

Cons

- Information Systems (IT department) is poorly managed and feels chaotic. I/S teams feel siloed off. -There's very little help from other teams if you are using their systems. - All associates in this department seem to share the same belief; there's not enough time in the day for all their responsibilities. - There are very few architects, and they seem to be spread thin between all the projects happening at once. Technologies are carelessly thrown at dev teams without any training. There's virtually no direction due to their limited resources. - Developers are on fire, their managers are on fire, and it seems to continue up the "ladder." - Very little diversity within I/S corporate. - Pay is not competitive for programmers/programmer analysts/ systems analyst programmers.

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.
