Pros

Many different departments to choose to work in. Customers are great. Tight knit store. Associates are friendly. Store is 24hrs, meaning many shifts to choose from that will work well with your schedule.

Cons

Pay is awful. Many cannot afford the health care. No time off until youre there a year. Benefits kick in after 6 mos of employment if full time, one year if part time. Bonuses are a joke. Little to nothing at all. Walmart took away layaway plan and put in self checkouts becoming impersonal to their customers. Morale is low.

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.
