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

- Job itself is quite easy - Don't have to deal with full public - Health benefits are nice - Get access to tax free product. - Very generous time off/sick time compared to other companies

Cons

- Management can be difficult to work with and seems inexperience in the technology that the workers are using to do their jobs. - registers, scanner guns, payroll software, store technology in general feels very outdated by todays standers and make it difficult to do my job. -Taking time off is difficult because of how poor management is with operating payroll software. - Hardly any training for new staff. - People that need to be fired aren't let go, but people that do a good job leave because management doesn't do anything about it except file a report. - Constant rotating staff that seems to be never questioned why they're leaving. - Pay is insulting compared to other companies.
