Pros

2x 15 minute paid breaks

Cons

*Unpaid lunch break *Almost no chance of promotion. You, as a teamlead, will not get a salaried position unless your are a kiss-ass teamlead. Your hard work ethic and fair unbiased leadwrship doesn't mean anything to the bosses. *Useless health coverage *Unrealistic expections *We're called "management" when something needs to get done, but the salaried bosses just sees us as hourly slaves that they can push their own work off onto. *Expected to essentially be a Coach with Coach-like responsibility without the coach authority or coach pay/benefit (speaking specifically about the Overnight TLs, not the day shift TLs) * With only 1 overnight coach, they work only 4 nights a week, it leaves the overnight TL aka an hourly, to run the entire store and shift without a salaried member of management to oversee things, yet expect things to run perfectly smoothly. So there's only a boss in the store on overnights about 160 days a year-the other 200 days...it's on us! (nvm, the overnight coach is there even less than that b/c the coaches get about 6 weeks of vacay a year, so every 8 weeks or so, they take a week (10 days total) off.

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.
