Pros

Good PTO/PPTO accumulation over time. Co-workers rock. Work phone to get job done.

Cons

Lack of equipment for all jobs, communication is usually terrible from upper management. Last year we were told our teams were getting a minimum raise to $17 per hour. Those who have been with the company a long time (I have been here 11 years now) fully expected our years of raises to stack and bring us close to or at the new cap of $23 per hour. I myself did the math and I would have gotten just over $21/hr. The company slapped us in the face very hard by only raising us to the new minimum as if we were new hires, told us our extra vacation is what sets us apart from new hires. They took away bonuses, and really ANY reason to stay long other than vacation time. They hurt us bad. In addition every single year without fail they raise our insurance prices by at least $10 per paycheck. Don't listen to anything about $17/hr for some positions being great, they don't care about us. They are getting every penny back and then some, all while spitting in the faces of the loyal.

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.
