Pros

It's a job. There are benefits, and I hear rumors that people get promoted on occasion. The my share bonus is a nice addition to your check every few months, after you've been working there for at least a full year. I had to attend a funeral recently of a close family member, and was given three days off with pay, so that was nice in that time of stress.

Cons

The pay is low, the hours are not so great on third shift. My store is moderately understaffed right now, making everyone have to work a little more than is expected. There is a stigma attached to being a Wal-Mart employee - people will look down on you, no matter who you are.

Pros

All stores are supposed to put respect for the individual as a top priority. There may be stores with less than competent management, but the one I work at really shows me that they are glad to have me be a part of their team.

Cons

The pay could be a higher, but then again, I just recently started and I'm making more than I thought I would because everyone says walmart pays bad. Honestly, I'm now earning about 4 dollars higher than minimum wage. Yeah we would all like to earn more and it would be nice, but I know that in 3 months working at Walmart, I was earning a higher hourly rate than my friend who had been at Kmart for over a year. So the so-called "bad" pay could just be part of the economy
