Pros

Working in the distribution center paid very well. I met other associates that ended up being really great friends. I loved my schedule because I was able to work 3 days a week for 12 hour shifts and was still considered full time.

Cons

The benefits are horrible. I couldn't believe that such a huge, rich company would give their employees such awful benefits. They wouldn't pay hardly anything. Management thinks that they are something really special. They treated their employees like children. Because Wal-Mart doesn't want to get sued (which they constantly are) they have a script for how management talks to employees. I'm married to a manager and cannot believe how they look down on the regular associates. You become trapped because the pay is decent (at the distribution center), but the company thinks they own you.

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.
