Pros

If you need a job Wal-Mart is normally always hiring.

Cons

WalMart does not believe in training. No matter your pay grade. My training came from asking others and messing up. Also just because your hired on doesn't mean your going to be working. People with full time are getting 30hrs a week. Part timers are getting 10 hours a week. But the work load is the same throughout the store. If you can't get the same amount of the job done despite half the work force not getting to come in then you'll just be coached for job performance. Its happen to me twice. Both written and verbal. Its why I dropped my management position and went back to a sales associate. $8.45 a hour wasn't worth trying to do 3 other people's labor, get my butt chewed all the time, and come home just ready to fall asleep and not wake up.

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.
