Pros

work/life balance. if you just want to collect a check, this is the place for you. no one cares.

Cons

ridiculously political because management fully entertains politics. no direction, no vision, and endless all-hands droning on about how we're doing better than ever when we've all just been running in circles. not even sure how this company is operating, just a slapped together cake of multiple acquisitions because they couldn't hire. smart people pretty much burn out and leave, burn out and stop working, or stop working and start politicking because it's more effective. org is peppered with totally inefficient people doing whatever they want. don't see a future for this business until real leadership comes in.

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.
