Pros

Good pay, 401K, Roth IRA, able to buy stock at whatever amount. Other Job opportunities with the company.

Cons

In my specific department, DA Receiving, they have a very high production and will get on you about making it. To unload trucks for example is 785 an hour; meaning you have to make 7,850 by the end of the day. Some weeks I make it and some I don't; when I don't make it they will give me a write up that takes 6 months for it to come off and if you are at a step and get another write up it will take that one and all other write ups 6 months to come off; they fall off at the same time. And will also restart the 6 months if you get any more. So it can be very stressful and frustrating at times especially when you put in all your effort and come at 99.8 percent and still get written. And they will do it every week if you do not make a 100% or more. This is at the Walmart Distribution Center 7033 at Apple Valley California

Pros

-Fair pay and overall compensation package -Good benefits -stakeholders that I interacted with outside of Marketing were kind, very helpful and awesome to work with

Cons

-Colleagues will throw you under the bus. Lack of accountability in chaotic campaign planning process, constantly providing you contradictory information and when the contradiction is pointed out, they blame you for not having everything together. Then later, when it's been proven that they were providing incorrect information the whole time, no apologies or accountability is taken and other teams/you are blamed instead. -Social, digital AND remarketing were previously under 1 single role which is absolutely impossible under 1 person to manage. They have since broken up the role into multiple -Direct teammates were not supportive and out to get each other. Multiple occasions where the incorrect file was sent to me 4+ times despite requesting for the correct file multiple times. Once leadership asked for the file suddenly there is no problem in sending the correct file. There were many other situations where colleagues will purposefully tell you incorrect information to send you on a wild goose hunt to sabotage you. Ultimately when leadership asks the team for this information, people will step up with the correct information making themselves look helpful and useful when they were misleading you in the first place -Zero work life balance. Marketing department is constantly working until 9-10pm every single day, even parents of young children. During black Friday, you have to work until 4am in the morning daily

Pros

- All you have to do is show up to work, and you most likely won't be fired unless you steal or something of that nature. -Decent priced Insurance (including vision and dental). -Free college if you choose to pursue it. -Easy-to-learn work.

Cons

-Annual hour cuts that seemingly last all year... -Selective management, in-your-face favoritism. Says "no hoodies, no earbuds!" to everyone but a select few. They are downright cruel to some. Demand even more productivity, while always laughing and chatting in personnel. And a lot of them won't handle very obvious problem employees. -No performance based raises. -Can't be comfortable in your own area, always getting pulled to where they need you, while still being held accountable for the work in your area. -Drama and scandal! Find out which manager slept with associates and promoted them! Find out who the work snitch is! Watch them get away with the things they say you're doing! Argue in front of customers! Argue WITH customers! Only at walmart!
