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.
