Vantaggi
Benefits are great - perhaps some of the best in the work force. Employees can shop at NEXCOM if they are civilian - meaning if they don't have a military ID (retired/active/reserved or military dependent ID.) Doesn't "shut-down" when the government does, as they are NAF and get nothing from Navy/US Government.
Svantaggi
NFs are not paid as much as NA/NS ranks. Doesn't understand their customers anymore. HQ does not listen to the "lower" management They are not modernized - despite saying they are. Their hardware and software used in DCs and in stores is outdated. Can't compete with Wal-Mart, Amazon, and Target. Especially online. No real room for advancement. All of HR information is only accessible via work computers - can't access outside of work. HR is a revolving door in my region.
