Pros

-Good brand name (potentially, YMMV) for your resume -.....that's about it (really)

Cons

-Awful/cheap health benefits with mandatory deductions for life insurance -Extremely old/outdated work facilities and lack of meeting rooms (meeting in a loud cafeteria just doesn't cut it) -In general, Wal-Mart Canada doesn't seem to attract the "best and brightest" - lots of lazy lifers, poor managers and you're generally not working with "top" or smart talent in any department (HR, finance, property management/real estate) -The company likes to sell its "work life balance" lifestyle to potential employees (flex hours/work from home), but most senior employees (senior analysts, and above) very rarely - if ever - get to use these benefits. Just a big lie. -General sense of disorganization and lack of accountability - sometimes it is truly surprising how this company got to be as big/financially successful as it is when you see the processes, reporting quality and overall structure of the company being as poor as it is Overall, unless you're desperate to get "Wal-Mart" on your resume, there are certainly much better places to work out there.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
