Pros

The economy is not very good and jobs are scarce. Wal-Mart hires a lot of people and anybody can probably get hired.

Cons

The pay is the most important problem. Wal-Mart could change their reputation with the public if they started to pay a mimimum of a living wage of a minimum of $12 a hour and up from there.

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.
