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.

Pros

Wal Mart is not a bad place to work the sechudle system needs to be adjusted example working till 11:00 pm then have to be back in at 6:30 am not too happy sometimes (lack of sleep) No overtime allowed and if you are close to going over 38 hours they tell you to take a longer lunch or supper or come in a little later the next day but make sure you call the 800 number to get excused

Cons

the same as what is posted above
