I can not think of any. Maybe being able to transfer?

Cons

Unorganized crazy managers, low pay, will NOT work with schedule and treats everyone like a useless robot or teen in highschool. Ur life doesn't matter, it's the needs of the store before u

Pros

Lots of positive talk coming from management at monthly all-hands meetings are encouraging. Cafeteria is about average. Workout facility and showers are a plus. Company location has free parking. They are spending a LOT of money to beef up their eCommerce efforts to catch up to Amazon.

Cons

Square brand. I worked with a lot of people who said they would never buy from Walmart, even if they were local to the immediate area, which I think translates to a bit of a branding issue that they need to overcome. Walmart is a company that is about helping people save money, but how that translates into their internal culture was a bit of a mystery to me, and I don't know if employees there are buying that message where value creation is concerned.

Pros

great workplace with lots of perks (work from home, snacks, lunches, fun events) incredibly smart people ability to move to different positions within company lots of collaboration between teams enthusiastic support staff that worked very hard to take care of our needs

Cons

there was a lot of turnaround with leadership, making teams uncertain about their future. In the two years I worked there, I reported to 3 different supervisors. There is a lot of bureaucracy when dealing with the Home Office in Bentonville, Arkansas. The way that the home office is run is so different (for example, they use antiquated equipment and technology) which made it almost impossible to get approval for the technology that we needed. It would take a long time to get ANYTHING approved, forcing us to hack workarounds for most issues that we faced. My team was eventually cut and we had to be split up and move into different teams within the company. Many of us were recruited from other jobs with a lot of promises, but we ended up feeling like we had gotten the bait and switch.
