Pros

Great potential for advancement. Training for management is very thorough. Open Door Policy is handled very professionally. Can have a tremendous family atmosphere in the right store. Company continues to grow.

Cons

Has lost a lot of what made it great to begin with. Very little of what Sam Walton spoke about in "Made in America" is still implemented today. Managers can't merchandise. Company is far too rigid and structured to allow itself to grow as it once did.

Pros

If you are a slacker and love to avoid working, helping others and being looked down upon by managers then this is the place to be.

Cons

Management was distant, incoherent, unhelpful and sometimes down right condescending. Many times you weren't allowed to talk to a store manager and when you could it was unproductive. Very demanding also. Many co-workers could care less about helping customers. It was frustrating.

Pros

They offer a flexible schedule to work around with. If you are comfortable with the people you work with like me then you will find that as a pro.

Cons

The management is horrible. At one point my manager told me to do something then right after another manager from another department had told me drop what I was doing and do what he asked threatening me after I told him my manager told me to do something first.
