Pros

30 hours a week, starting out and continuing after the holidays. Also everyone needs something from Walmart and so job security is good. Unlike most jobs I've had where I had to deal with "the public" I haven't been blamed for the inevitable customer tantrums. Also most of the store management moved up through the ranks so potential for advancement is good.

Cons

"Flexible" schedule is rather unpredictable and this makes planning personal and other business hard. Time off requests not always honored even on days when there's no likelihood of an unusual level of business.

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.
