Pros

Flexible hours. Easy to get job. Job security.

Cons

You will never get more than a 60 cent raise, and you only get one per year. Promotion can be difficult due to Walmart "lifers". Promotions do not offer a worthwhile pay increase. Incompetence runs rampant within salaried management, and hourly employees. More drama between employees than high school. Upper Level management treats all employees like idiots. Lazy people often do not get fired, which cause the hard working people to have to work harder.

Pros

Wal-Mart will hire almost anybody and It is easy to do very little (spending half the day goofing off is the norm) as an hourly employee. They often cut hours so an hourly associate may get to go home early.

Cons

Wal-Mart will hire almost anybody and many hourly employees are able to get away with doing very little. Not family friendly because of the extremely inflexible attendance guidelines. Many employees make so little that they must rely on government programs to compensate the lack of insurance. Hourly employees often have their hours cut and lose pay. Salary employees often stay extra hours to make up for this shortage of hourly employees. Store level salary employees are expected to not only work 60+ hours a week but to be able to come in and stay over without any notice. District and regional managers are not respectful of store managers or assistants.

Pros

The management is very good at listening. They are very open minded about new ways to do things. Overall, it's a great place to work.

Cons

some of the cons were lack of benefits for part-time employees. They watched the part time employee's hours so to not go over the limit that would put them into full-time status. This was mainly around the holidays.
