Pros

Not your typical Walmart management. Assistant managers, along with the store manager, were engaging and really do take pride in what they do. Every day was an opportunity to make another athlete happy in my department. Bringing joy to those who shopped in the golf section was something I took great pride in. Employees worked together as a team, going to different departments to help when needed. Very great crew I worked with, that would hang outside of work. That's how you know we actually enjoyed each other. We also created a softball league that we versed other stores in. Morning meetings were a blast. Bicycle races, bag toss, etc. Fun games to get us started for the day with a gift card reward for the winner. Not your "Ugh, I have to participate in the company's pizza party" type of stuff. Very enjoyable overall, and fully stocked breakroom was an absolute PLUS when you didn't want to go out to get lunch! Couldn't have asked for a greater job experience while in college. Was very sad to leave the job, and I've never felt sad leaving any previous job prior to working there. Matching 401k for anyone who's interested in those full-time benefits as well (I was part-time).

Cons

Short staffed sometimes in order to beat numbers. Lot of pressure to upsell warranties and credit cards but NOTHING like Kohls. You will not lose your job if you don't upsell a credit card, and majority people had a rewards card so you'd never get dinged for that. That's the only con I can think of.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.
