Pros

+ Company will work with your schedule + Quarterly bonuses averaged about $200 each for part-time + Discount card (although it is lacking) + Stock contributions if your purchase stock + 401k available with generous contributions by Wal-Mart + Customers are mostly friendly + Most managers are easy to get along with

Cons

- Poor pay compared to other part-time jobs - Discount card is only 10% off - Discount card does not include groceries - Company has not provided a cost of living wage increase recently - Website is horribly organized so assisting customers in electronics can be frustrating - There is little room to advance in the company unless you are willing to work full-time - Some managers have a questionable educational history - Many times you are pulled out of your department - Recently, Wal-Mart wants to run on a skeleton crew, so many times we are swamped - Managers love to randomly move feature items around the store and get electronics associates to do it - Currently, overtime is not permitted

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.
