Pros

Wal-mart is a huge company and provides great job stability. They also have good stock matching programs and decent benefits. The 10% discount employees get is also a plus.

Cons

Wal-mart workers who are not high in managment are underpaid. Managment on a store level are generally pretty rude to lower level employees, they show very little respect and have very little professonalism. Wal-mart being a large corporation has a lot of red tape and corporate policies that are not on par with real work place situations.

Pros

Really WANT to do the right thing, so there is an opportunity to have a voice in the company at the Home Office level. The culture is solid and we are seeing more of it lived out at the officer level. Benefits are not spectacular, but there is a good variety of options and they are affordable. At the manager level, bonus plans start at 20% of yearly salary and go up from there. Vacation time and moving expense is negotiable for management.

Cons

It can be difficult to get things done with the silos that have been built. Several of the divisions are just not talking to each other and duplication of work is rampant. If you don't like change, stay away. Opportunities for growing within the company are good, but were much better before we started hiring almost 80% of upper level openings from the outside.

Pros

Walmart has become so far away from what Sam Walton had intended it should change its name. They play favorites, unethical, and try to use anything they can against the associates when it suites them.

Cons

unethical...favorites....poor management....unreal expectations....over complicating everything. If Walmart would just adhere to th beliefs Sam Walton set forth the company would be in good shape.
