Pros

With the economy struggling right now and layoffs happening at major companies, I feel secure in the knowledge that Wal-Mart isn't going anywhere. It's a huge company with plenty of financial means and they can weather any storm.

Cons

The size of the company can also be a major failing. A single employee tends to get lost in the daily shuffle, and the stores themselves have so many employees (mine averages between 400-500) that no single manager can possibly be qualified to assess your skills or rate your performance.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
