Pros

Started as just a job in the 80s and turned into a career. Great way to see different areas of the country for a young, single professional. Good exposure to a variety of projects, management roles and merchandising.

Cons

Company has become too corporate. The small town company built by Walton that encouraged people to think and make decisions no longer exists. Everything is monitored on "big brother" reports. There is little to no freedom to enjoy being a merchant.

A miserable place to work.

Pros

Decent on-the-job training. Looks impressive on resumes. Gained a lot of knowledge that has helped in at other companies.

Cons

Discovered that many promises made when I started my career at Wal-Mart were not kept. The company has tons of red tape, very political environment, and unless you are upper management, your pay is horrible.

Pros

You don't have to deal that much with rude customers and i do feel more of a sense of job security than others i know who have been laid off and fired in the past few years.

Cons

The managers here sometimes do not listen when you have complaints and there is a LOT of favoritism between managers and people they like.
