Pros

- moderately good pay and benefits (shuttle services, gym, generous health plans) - has all the system infrastructure and technology that a large organization can afford

Cons

middle and upper management are predominantly average facilitators at best, lack vision and ideas, or the ability to enable ideas - many have low level technical understanding and are unable to drive a clear goal. often resort to political maneuvering and favoritism to put up a front. - projects are confusing, lack transparency, and often politically-charged. frequent re-org. expect one every 6 months. Recent layoff saw both good and really bad choices. Bad choices tell us that the awful leaders are still around. a culture of talk your way up. eloquence is 90% of all the skills you need here. upper management mined for ideas, used employees, made scapegoats out of employees.

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.
