Pros

growing company, treat your employees as good as they treat your customers.don't drink the cool aid...don't stay and get sucked in by there B S they could care less about you and I. The really have some store manager issues as well as Dept manager who where promoted from Fl just because they were willing to move. Very sad look from the inside out....

Cons

over worked part timers working full time and not given benefits. Your just a number there. Bringing in experienced managers up from Fl to NC causing a high turnover because they treat the employees like dirt. it was my worst experience in my 30 year career. pay is not equal to the job at other companies.

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.
