Pros

It's the Fortune 1 company. There are a lot of opportunities and resources to take advantage of, if you're lucky.

Cons

It's too big. It's also too focused on growing and competing against Amazon, instead of guiding/nurturing the large number of young employees that are being brought in to maintain the eCommerce business. The Category Specialist role is touted as an opportunity to own a small business within Walmart, but that's a stretch. There are very few perks compared to other tech companies. And there's a huge lack of mental health consciousness among management & HR. The leave of absence process is bothersome.

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.
