Pros
When all else fails, and Wal-Mart is your ONLY choice. I am older now, and jobs are harder to come by, but I wanted to try Wal-Mart, even though I had been told by previous Wal-Mart assoicates NOT to work there. They said they were unfair and worked you like a dog. I thought, "How hard could it be?" NOW, I know. The hours alone will kill you. They will not give you a regular schedule like most stores. They change it every week, so you can never make plans to do anything with your family. It seems like all I do is work now.
Cons
Schedules that are different every day....keeps you physically drained. Closing late at night and having to come in early the next morning. Never enough help in ANY department....when you ask for help, you get, "Do the best you can" and that's it. The insurance is not the best, but better than nothing at all. No matter how hard you work, you never get any praise. I have never worked as hard as I do in my entire life than I do at Wal-Mart. I never see the store manager or the department manager in my area. I have asked repeated questions to my assistant manager and she never know anything, or ever helps solve any problems.
