Pros

Good Pay. Opportunities for advancement if you work hard. Discount on already inexpensive products. Every day at Wal-Mart is different.

Cons

No work/life balance. I worked 60-80 hours each week. Sometimes went in @ 7a and didn't leave until after midnight. Manager would give 2-3 hour projects on his way out the door at 5pm (when I was scheduled to leave a 5pm as well). I've NEVER (and I really mean never) met a Wal-Mart Store Manager that was HAPPILY married with YOUNG kids. NEVER. Working at Wal-Mart isn't conducive to a happy family life. Also, if you're not working in retail now, DON'T GO INTO RETAIL. Once you have retail on your resume, it's hard to get out and the only jobs you ever get offered are other retail jobs.

Pros

World wide company, discounted stock.

Cons

Everything else. You name it, it just plain stunk. Hard work, long hours (about 60/week), horrible customers (rude, dishonest), low wages. I'll stop now because the flash backs are too much.

Pros

Clear Path for Advancement, No working off the clock or skipping breaks (for associates not managers), Tons of team building activities, volunteer oppertunities.

Cons

Incompetent management, frequent change in management, a lot of zero tolerance rules make it easy to be fired, a few employees do a large share of the work while many stand around and socialize without correction from management.
