Pros

- decent starting pay for entry level job - easy to get hired - great health benefits and 401k match

Cons

- management is completely barbaric. Many people are in management positions that have no business being managers. No experience, no degrees, and no people skills. It amazed me how horrible the managers were all-around. - must accrue PPTO to call in sick without getting penalized. No doctors notes accepted. God forbid you get the flu, you are basically forced to come to work because no one has enough PPTO to cover multiple days out. You will be fired if you get 5 attendance "points", with no leeway. - the good workers are worked to the bone while the lazy workers get off without any discipline. They'll stick the slow workers by themselves and just ignore them. The good workers they'll have you do the job of 5 people, and then always expect more from you! This is ultimately why I quit. We all make the same money, but some workers are pushed HARD while others just get to goof off all night. - zero accountability for management. They will lie to you, make up rules, retaliate against you if you go to HR about them, etc. But the store manager won't do anything!

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.
