Pros

great pay and benefits there are lots of oppertunites to move up they like to promote from within and its easy to get promoted

Cons

long hours i have to work about 70 hours a week and i only have to work 4 days a week you think that 4 on and 4 off would be a good thing but you pay for it in the end, there is too much work to be done and not enough to do it they want you to do more with less and push your associates to do more and more most people are not going to kill thier self for $ 8 or% 9 an hour. there is no overtime if you have any you get coached for it but if you dont get all of the work done you get coached for that they cut the hours for associates but want you to get the same amount of work done if you lose a full time associate you can only replace them with part time this used to be a great place to work and they cared about the associates but now they only care about how much they can get out of you. save money live better is the new motto, but who gets to live better? not the associates what ever happened to our people make the difference?

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.
