Former Employee – worked at Walmart Stores full-time for more than a year

ProsManagement positions pay well. Lots of job security. You will bonus if your store functions correctly.

ConsPositions at upper level management few and far between. Hourly wages are below average.

Advice to Senior ManagementUse some of that profitability to raise your base hourly wages to a liveable level.

Former Employee – worked at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThis is a great place to learn retail or even step into management. This one of the only jobs left that you dont have to have a degree to be in management for those who do not pursue post secondary education.

ConsPay is not all that great for those with degrees, overworked at times. Company is too cheap to be the one of the largest employers, and to make the profit that they make.

Advice to Senior ManagementNone

Sacramento, CA

Former Employee – worked at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 10 years

ProsSalary and the opportunity to interact with great associates. Ability to grow your career to a certain extent

ConsOpen door policy only applies to associates up to a certain pay grade. New practice of hiring people from outside who consistently try to implement their own strategies rather than corporate direction, and their willingness to dispose of experienced talent rather than learning from them.

Advice to Senior ManagementThe dedicated management associates running your stores are the ones who receive the least amount of respect and are listened to the least.
