Pros

At one time Wal-Mart was a great growing company that you felt secure with and had the potential for growth. As new leaders have been brought in, the organization is now shifting it's focus and long term associates become a liability. If you want a short career with a lot of volume, this could be an option.

Cons

Too much uncertainty with the direction of the company and most people are in the survival mode. Moral is extremely low, the constant layoffs have had nothing but a negative impact. Most are in survival mode fearing they are going to loose their jobs.

Pros

Opportunity for advancement. Pay is generally competitive.

Cons

Ineffective management. Company preaches its culture, but most of the good parts of the culture disappeared long ago. Frequent 'restructures' at corporate headquarters impact only the people who do the work - not senior management. Work/life balance does not exist for exempt mgmt at corporate headquarters. It may still be an OK place to start your career but get out as soon as possible. The glory days are over. The company is in decline.
