Pros

The job security is great right now. The benefits and pay, while not the best, are quite fair for a company willing to hire people with no experience and low education. If you have drive, it's very easy to work your way into management within the company.

Cons

Some entry-level positions are grossly under-paid. It's retail, so you can expect to work some holidays, weekends, etc. Black Friday is pretty much a given for 98% of the employees. Some positions have set hours, but others can have you working any time of day.

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.
