Pros

1. Same and tasteless free food. 2. Free transport and managed by senior person in the cab. 3. Good compensation - only in paper, no idea when those components will materialize, waited for three good year but still in papers. 4. Free Snacks, fruits and drinks enough to put on weights as there is no gym facility. 5. Good work life balance (coz there not much work and its easy to fool (not so smart )managers here ). 6. No need to learn new technologies coz they stuck with way too old technologies, and even than claiming to compete amazon. 7. Manager are good and not poky. no micro managements coz they dont even know how to manage things. 8. Timings are flexible coz no one there to ask - (Managers and highly paid idiots are generally and permanently working from home, may be looking out for some job but never succeeded it seems). 9. it Seems HR are more technical here: They would ask hell lots of question in debrief u are rejecting some one. 10. Good place to do preparation of better company, GMAT etc etc. 11. I would recommend this company for those who want to take a break in their life. -- This is the place man.

Cons

Oh I don't think there is any, except 1. No respect for good and talented staffs. 2. Upper management are busy doing US trips and accumulating money as much as possible, coz they them self knows they won't get any, once fired from here. 3. Unnecessary cluttered of managers. Absolutely wrong hires. 4. No idea whom to promote. One of my colleagues promotion was announced in his last day. Awesome isn't it. ..... many more....

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.
