Pros

If you are in between jobs, and can not receive unemployment Wal Mart is an option. Or as a supplemental income, part time work for a little extra cash.

Cons

The management makes up its own policies, many of which contradict other managers and even official guidelines. Also the hardest workers rarely get noticed or rewarded, it is who they seem to click with that matters for promotions which... only offer a 50 cent raise most of the time.

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.
