Pros

Walmart really does have a culture of respect for the individual and integrity. My department participated in flexible work plans. I worked at home some every week. My managers really cared about me as a person. Access to marvelous speakers and programming in the Home Office. - Great professional development.

Cons

In an attempt to remain competitive and relevant in the market about every 18 months to 2 years there would be major layoffs of hundreds if not thousands as the business pivoted to recreate itself.

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.
