Pros

Walmart EC and its Geo ECs like Sams Club, Canada, Mexico UK is really good payer often more than current candidates. Walmart and its Geo subsidiaries are good for career transition into Silicon Valley. If you are using WEC or GEC to get ahead in your career than good for you!

Cons

Very unstable worse than Amazon - competes on price alone with bad customer service with no control of 3rd party merchants on platform. Led by empty airheads with titles of VP, Sr Director.. but no guts to compete with Amazon. If you go on automatic pilot here, your career could be doomed due to no fault of yours due to some nasty higher up manager. Worse than Amazon, as stress is high especially from Oct-Dec, and worse than Microsoft as favoritism abounds. Lots of H1bs terrorized as their Green cards take forever. Be aware situation has changed as growth flat and IT-EC merger will lead to thousands of layoffs per year as Jet CEO cuts off empty airheads at top and hires outside expensive silicon valley. As Amazon grows its grocery, they will make a last ditch attempt.

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.
