Pros

Wal-mart has a lot of opportunity. The corporation is strong and I believe will be stronger during the next 10 years. I do believe if you work hard and show initiative and team work that you will move up! I know I have.

Cons

The pay is sub-standard as they move towards more part-time associates who seem to think showing up to work is an accomplishment in itself. It takes a lot of weed out those who show up vs. those who actually work! The lower level associates complain constantly and for those who are actually working I understand. For those who stand around, disappear, or are insubordinate to the simplest of requests, I do not understand. If you want to make $15.00 an hour get some skills. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to empty boxes or say, "How may I help you".

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.
