Pros

You get to meet a lot of people and can establish lasting relationships.

Cons

Having to deal with how you get treated by co-workers. There can be a lot of backstabbing because everyone is fighting to get a higher position. How you get treated by customers because some have a bad view of most Wal-Mart workers as being 'lazy'. When you may not be like that.

Pros

The hours are the best in the store. The Vision Center is closed on major holidays as a typical doctor's office would be. You are generally not called into the main of the store to help others accomplish tasks because we are dealing with patients who take precedence. No cashiering or cart pushing for example. If you decide to take the test to become a licensed optician and pass, Walmart with reimburse you the amount.

Cons

Customers of Walmart have a tendency to think we do not employ "real" doctors. All of our optometrists go through medical school and have earned the right to place Dr. in front of their names. Others think that because we are able to offer our glasses, contacts, services ect. at such an affordable price that the quality must also be lesser. Not the case.

Pros

The people you work with are generally fun to be around. Except for management. Most of the customers are good too.

Cons

The higher up the chain of command you are, the less of a clue you have about what goes on in the stores on a day to day basis. The new Inventory Management System is a joke.
