Pros

Discounts on merchandise. Also, they offer a fairly good benefits package to full time employees. All store level employees are eligible to receive a stakeholder's benefit based on the overall performance of their store.

Cons

Although all employees start above the minimum wage, their annual increases are so small that you'd have to work there 100 years to get up to a decent wage. Merit raises are few and far between.

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.
