      Good company - but be prepared to work HARD

      Pros

      The opportunity to help people save money so that they can live better. It's great to know that I can be part of such cause. There is also pride in working for the largest company in the world - fortune 1!

      Cons

      Extremely long hours - Company operates very lean - and often management does not have a realistic understanding of what it takes to accomplish a task. Positions at home office are better - but if you happen to be supporting the field, expect to work hard and long hours. I also find that wm promoted individuals into positions they were not ready to hold - individuals that lack the very core competencies necessary to perform as leaders. Internal promotions still happen at a large scale - more often than not, people that are not suited are put in positions they shouldnt be in. If you are considering WM - do your homework and get to know your future manager before accepting a position. Also, company starts operating very early in the morning - so if you are used to workin 8-5 be prepared to change your routine to 6:30am-7pm.

      Wal-Mart, A great place to work, but....

      Pros

      Your advancement in the job, the ability to transfer and learn other areas and to transfer to others sites around the world. The company is the largest employer and because of that you have many options open on transfers to other areas of the world. The growth potential is unsurpased.

      Cons

      Some of the rules and regulations. Your illiness protection pay and the "one day wait". You canot use your sick leave to go to the dentist or doctor. All your leave, except personal time can not be left from year to year.

      Walmart is alright!

      Pros

      If you need a lot of hours and want to constantly work, then Walmart is your place. I can tell you that even as a part-timer, I worked at least 43 hours each week! That being said, your paycheck looks awesome if you can work almost everyday. Which is what I did. If you are a full timer, you walk away with at least 800 every two weeks. So if having money for bills is what you need, then Walmart is the way to go. But to constantly stand on your feet, deal with rude customers and bad-ass kids, uggghhhh.... pick and chose your battles.

      Cons

      Again, the open availability is a problem. If you can only work during the day, you are out of luck as this is their busiest time. Weekends off are rare but do happen. And if you have no family, expect to be scheduled almost ALL THE TIME! Holidays at my location were MADNESS! People with bad attitudes and greedy kids that want everything in sight...run! Although the few bad apples would make you want to quit, if you can survive Christmas, New Year's, Valentines and Easter, you'll live to see another day. But still, patience is a virtue, so hold on to it.
