Pros

always kept busy bonus after third quarter hired(second if hired at right time) 10% discount after (90 days i think) enjoy the group i work with opportunities for advancement yearly review(normally leads to a 40 cent raise as long as no screw ups) strict about safety work around school schedule(college and high school) if not a people person can work in backroom if backroom get paid a little more than sales floor associates if people person then plenty of people coming and going in the store Healthcare(if you stick it out for 2 years or 1 if you get hired at right time) 41k great benefits for not having to have a degree

Cons

varying schedule(but can ask for exceptions witch are curtain days and hours to have off) had a hint of not much value on if you have a degree even in the higher up management positions(I guess a plus if you don't have a degree)at least according to there yearly grass roots meeting and survey.(which survey is a joke) not much room for overtime.(exception around black Friday to news year) strict about hrs(they pay by minute so if over they want you to cut time by taking longer lunches to equal scheduled hrs) hr lunch can be to long minimum wage job some days too much pressure for deadlines(at least in backroom and department managers not sure about cashiers stock men and sales floor people since i don't see them in back room often) most have trouble keeping full time schedule at beginning of the year(exception backroom and management)

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.
