Pros

NW Arkansas is a nice area to live in.

Cons

Not a great place to work if you want to write code. Most of Walmart's software development is "remote sourced" to contractors in India. Walmart programmers mostly review code the contractors have written then at times have to fix it because the quality is poor. The company lacks any real direction in ISD. They change constantly but use outdated hardware, software and tools. The EDLC cost model is outdated and stale. Non of the systems in stores work right due to the constant drive to lower costs. The pay is at least 10% below what other companies pay for in house IT talent. The benefits are awful. The health insurance is a joke.

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.
