Pros

Great associates, hard working people.

Cons

Horrible Management from top-down. Every-man-for-himself mentality. Do as I say, not as I do environment. Asst. Managers overworked/underpaid and often disrespected. Easily threatened by good talent. There is minimal upward mobility unless you are a minority. Lost sight of Walton's philosophy. Management always too busy to back up associates, breeds disrespect for the individual. No consistency/continuity from corporate; always changing direction. Trying to keep up with Amazon and Costco. Zero common sense company. Associate morale in clubs akin to a funeral. Horrible company.

Pros

The pay is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

This is the worst job I have ever had. I made it 3 weeks before leaving and never coming back. They had me working 12 hour shifts when I was scheduled for 8 but couldn’t leave because I wasn’t finished with the large workload they piled on me. There was absolutely no teamwork, our manager just abandoned us so they could go hang out with their friends. There was no organization, no structure. 100% sure my manager never even knew my name. They had us breaking down pallets just to restack them. There are no consequences for management at all, they can basically do whatever they want and nobody is gonna do anything to stop it. If they're short they throw you into different departments with no training.
