Pros
It's a job. There are benefits, and I hear rumors that people get promoted on occasion. The my share bonus is a nice addition to your check every few months, after you've been working there for at least a full year. I had to attend a funeral recently of a close family member, and was given three days off with pay, so that was nice in that time of stress.
Cons
The pay is low, the hours are not so great on third shift. My store is moderately understaffed right now, making everyone have to work a little more than is expected. There is a stigma attached to being a Wal-Mart employee - people will look down on you, no matter who you are.
