Pros

Respect, freedom to express opinion, many opportunities to develop skills and educate, great benefits, discounts, stocks, 401k, . You can grow in the ranks if you are committed and have good manager. Supporting the community.

Cons

Salary is below the average, Management is considering the incentive as part of your annual payment even if there might be partial to no incentive. The organization is oriented to savings which is the primary driver for growth but often hurts the employees first. The decisions are taken with with retail in mind and IT department is manipulated by merchants which is not giving the best results. Keeping up with the technology is very slow process because of the tight budgets. Lot of bureaucracy. lots of contractors which are doing fast but questionable job.

Pros

-Management is very fair and understanding when it comes any issues. -The work is challenging and you will be constantly learning although I was learning outside my specialty field. -Vacation up front. I had ten days on my first day. -Great Relocation package including 2-3 weeks paid leave to manage your move. -Raises EVERY review period regardless of your time on the job. I got a 3% raise after two months. -Prorated participation in the bonus program as long as you started in October of the previous year. -Regular onsite learning for almost every subject you can imagine.

Cons

-The pay was a little low for my position and I do not like the smoke-and-mirrors type pay structure where your stock becomes yours after 5 years etc. I like cold hard cash every two weeks. A bird in the hand beats two in the bush. I understand that this structure is designed to prevent turnover, but it makes me feel like they think I am a fool. You can't count something I MAY get five years down the road as compensation today. -The company is what I would call cheap. I think making employees supply food for parties and taking collections to pay for a venue for a Christmas party is absurd for a company like Walmart. -Every get together for IT they make you watch all of these homemade skits with lots of toilet humor etc. It drives me nuts. I find it very distasteful. -The vents in the men's bathrooms in the David Glass building are above the urinals, so if you have to urinate, you have to smell the bowels of 20 of your coworkers. Please move the vents above the toilets! -Parking can be a pain, but there is not much they can do about this. You may have to walk almost a mile and in the summer or winter this can be a royal pain!
