      Work Somewhere Besides Wal-Mart

      Cashier
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a small town, and there are not many other places to work there. It's a college town, and most of the "good" jobs are taken by people who stay throughout the school year.

      Cons

      Wal-Mart does not provide any benefits for their part-time employees, and they do not allow most people to work full-time. It's a catch-22. Also, they pay the lowest amount possible for whatever the local market will bear. In other words, whatever McDonald's pays their part-time employees, Wal-Mart pays the same amount. Basically, it's minimum wage for the local market, but they are usually hiring because people are always looking for a better (less abusive) job somewhere else.

      Decent job for beginning workers, potential for upward movement is good.

      Customer service manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A great reason to work at Wal-Mart is the fact that virtually anyone can get a job there doing something. If you have little experience/education it's a great place to start. If you work hard, there is a good chance that you can work your way into management. The compensation is OK for what the job asks for, though some positions that require more responsibilities offer little gains in pay over something like a cashier (ex. would be a Customer Service Manager). The skills I've learned from working there I feel I will take with me the rest of my life. Working for Wal-Mart is a very good first job for someone just entering the workforce as you gain valuable experience working with people (if that's your thing).

      Cons

      One of the downsides of working at Wal-Mart is also one of its perks. The fact that they hire almost anyone can be very frustrating. Working with people that, I'm sad to say, are unable to even read can be very frustrating when trying to communicate. Some people that are hired can also be some of the flakiest people, hardly ever showing up for work. Wal-Mart's attendance policy is very loose and someone can miss quite a few days before they are even considered for termination. Also, some supervisors that are supposed to be knowledgeable about what they are supervising constantly ask their subordinates what to do, and show that they do not deserve their position at times.

      Great stable Company to work for!

      Support manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable company. Good benefits. Options for career development. Management is willing to work with your availability. The work is done inside mostly unless your a cart pusher, TLE associate, or garden center associate. There is a shift for everyone. If you need to transfer, there is always nearly a store in the area you can transfer to. The bonus for hourly associates are good compared to other companies. Management bonuses are also very good. ASM-0-7000 dollar bonus, Co-Mgr.-0-32,000 dollar bonus, Store Mgr. up to 100,000 or more bonus.

      Cons

      People are not very intelligent. Raises are not good. .40-.60 cents per year. Attendance policy- if you call in 3 seperate times within 1 year you get coached.
