Pros

Wal-Mart was a fun environmet to work in, the management was usually understanding when you have family issues come up. The scheduling was pretty flexible. Cross Training was always available. The people that work there are great, almost like a family. Also the 10% discount helps with the grocery bills.

Cons

Management has their favorites and keeps them under their wing. The Management really does not like it when the "sales associates" tell them how they could change things so that they work better. penalized people for reporting harassment by other employees. Almost all of the departments are understaffed, people getting pulled off the floor to collect carts... then nobody on the floor to help customers.

Pros

I worked at a small store which gave me the opportunity to have a good rapport with my co-workers and the customers. There is lots of opportunity to advance at Walmart.

Cons

Things are constantly changing, so you have to adapt. The new generation, it is hard to find "hard workers"

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.
