Pros

Were willing to hire me, a college student, just for the summer and later, allowed me to work over my Christmas vacation. Most other places scoffed at hiring someone who would only be living in the area for three months.

Cons

Low pay--above minimum wage, but still low. The manager who was to conduct my review delayed it several weeks because she was "so busy" which delayed my getting a 25 cent raise.

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.
