Pros

Workout classes, friends, mooching off of google shuttles (much nicer than the Walmart ones). Take this job if you

Cons

- Low pay, but expected to work at night - Senior leadership has no idea what they're doing and changes initiatives and priorities on a whim. - Critical supporting positions get eliminated on a regular basis - forcing Category Specialists to take on their roles - Morale is non-existent in most teams - no one has a clear sense of what they're doing or how they're being measured - Majority of the work is menial and repetitive - No room for growth internally

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.
