Pros

Big name employer on your resume. Pretty decent benefits, too.

Cons

The pay isn't the greatest and you can sometimes get lost in the fold. The company is so big that management often expects that people are only going to be there for a short time and thus overlook the potential of the current staff.

Pros

Wal-Mart has a 401k package that is awesome. Although they don't match your salary, the put a % of it toward a 401k / Profit Sharing Account. I also enjoy the company discount card, which can be used on anything except for food

Cons

There are no downsides working for Wal-Mart.

Pros

Wal-Mart is huge. Because of that there is a large pool of co-workers to befriend.

Cons

This place isn't bad once you've worked there for 15+ years. Of course before that you can go ahead an expect a management style that will be more than willing to explain that they don't need you. Don't expect job security and definitely don't expect the management to ever lay off. It would also be wise to not expect any kind of competitive benefits although they're more than happy to help you get government assistance to make up for their lack of competitive pay and health insurance. Also, it would be best to not consider wal-mart if you're still in school or predict needing time off. As I was personally told they can easily find an employ to replace me who doesn't have a school schedule for them to work around. If you need a quick job for a couple of months then you may want to consider it but otherwise you could probably do better elsewhere.
