Pros

Health care is relatively competitive with other companies in the same industry.

Cons

The benefit of the recent wage increases past two years have now been nullified by the drastic reduction in earned paid time off per hours worked. I have worked 7 years for Walmart. I finally reached 5 weeks vacation potential. Or more specifically 198 paid time off hours earned and used in 2018. The new paid time policy Feb 2019 will have me earning only 128 hours of potential vacation time for the year. WHAT??? 198 paid time off hours down to 128. Wow. Thanks for making me feel LESS valuable with all my experience and hard work by reducing my paid time off potential in 2019.

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.
