Pros

Wal-mart does provide a wide variety of jobs an associate can do, if the associate is looking to learn all the in and outs of the retail business. So if you have a little ambition and like to learn new things Wal-mart may be a good fit for you.

Cons

Disorganized it the best one word description of the Wal-Mart job experience. I believe this has occurred due to the combination of two factors; not having enough associates to fully and carefully complete daily tasks and Management repeatedly changing how they want the task to be done. This disorganized makes it impossible for an associate to feel any level of job satisfaction.

Pros

It is easy to move your way up the ladder. I started out as a cashier and got promoted 4 times. It is very fast passed so you dont have to worry about having nothing to do no matter where you work. For the most part it does have the feeling of family there. If I were to find another job or in previous jobs i have never had a feeling that everybody I work with is family which is really weird to say. Wal-Mart is deffinetly a place to earn experience to put on an application that looks good.

Cons

Getting time off is tough. Requesting it in 3 weeks in advance is ridiculous and good luck ever getting a holiday off. Managment there has no communication, one manager says do this so you do it and another manager say do this when your already filled up with tasks to last you all night, when you explain your day is full they frown upon you and when all work isn't completed because overtime is completely unexcepatable they get upset. Taking on somebody elses tasks is a very common thing yet they expect you to complete all your work as well. They seem to promote alot of worthless people. The company gets worse and worse day by day. Everything about the company seems very unexceptable for a workplace. The pay is okay but not worth the stress supervisors get on the job. Salaried managers are almost as worthless as most of the supervisors they guinea pig around to tell other supervisors and associates what to do, There are so many supervisors and associates you don't no who to follow and you cant satisfy everybody. Their timelines to get work done are completely outragous. Most people you ask that work at walmart will tell you they are looking for a different job. Once you start, it is fine, once you are with the company for a year or more you realize what a craphole the place really is. Their benefits are not that great at all and are expenisve as hell. When a position is taken, when you get promoted for instance, it is pretty much here's your job do it. Getting trained in a new position never happends you have to predy much learn on your own. The testing required is ridiculous for wal-mart. I wouldnt recommend this place to anybody unless I hated them.
