Pros

The benefits and bonuses you get quartely are great. Time off is easy to recieve. Family oriented for the most part.

Cons

Lots of favoritism. You get promoted based on how much you brown nose, or who you know in the company. Higher management tend to be big headed and disrespectful.

Pros

Exposure to the public and networking opportunities for other jobs. 10% discount on SOME items in the store. Very efficient in their shipping/receiving/stocking of merchandise. Store manager usually makes an attempt to at least talk to every employee once or twice.

Cons

The department managers did not unlock doors, override transactions, step-in as backups when people called off. Difficult to work when procedures are not followed, customer satisfaction is second to profit, and you are expected to work different days of the week with as little as a few days notice to a change in your normal days. HR person is usually difficult to find and talk to about concerns or forms that need to be filled out.

Pros

Walmart gives you a sense of purpose in this tough economy. Their benefits are good although the perception from outsiders is that they are not. The pay from my experience was better than average. This company does a lot of things really well.

Cons

Long hours, only 6 paid holidays off, work sat mornings once a month, micro mgt in IT heavy work load, mgt not understanding what their associates do.
