Pros

it is a relatively stable company in this economy, there is pretty much a position for every type of person. The pharmacy division is difficult to get into because everyone generally likes their job and doesn't want to leave. Pharmacy pays better than the rest of the store also. The store manager has no authority over what happens in the pharmacy... the pharmacy manager has control over what happens inside the pharmacy and the good pharmacy managers can and will protect their staff

Cons

There is no overtime, management is non-supportive, everything seems to be about the bottomline and what their bonus will be / there is also an ongoing battle between the main store and the ancillary businesses such as vision and pharmacy... there does not seem to be a truce anytime in the near future

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.
