Pros

Sometimes the company favors employees in decisions and or works with you to get what you want. Most managers work with your schedule.

Cons

Most Mangers favor certain employees and overwork those who don't always agree with them. A lot of overlooked problems if it has to do with managers. And they are quick to dismiss anyone who is not able to do what management specifically wants. I saw many people get hired for one job, forced to do everyone else's job and get fired for not being able to do other people job and finish their own. I did this for 6 years, and when I finally got to overworked, they fought me for trying to take my days off.

Pros

Good pay rate for unskilled labor

Cons

Unskilled labor and with emphasis on the unskilled that goes for management. Horrible working conditions. They treat their employees as disposable even when you are the main reason an area is even getting any work done. Management are morons, don't care about their work, lazy, and have a superiority complex. Walmart doesn't know how to hire real leadership. You might think I am kidding or just very disgruntled, but believe me when i say that credit will always be taken by management for things you do, when they aren't even actually managing. Management spends most of their time just talking in their offices about nonwork things, hiding, smoking outside, leaving work entirely, and then saying they were working off premises. If you are thinking of management then your good because you wont be expected to do anything. You can use this company for a year or two to get management experience, and then throw them away like trash because that's how they will treat you.

Pros

Working at Walmart is a great way to get started on your work experience. You meet all kinds of customers on a daily basis, and I still see Walmart veterans here still learning new things here. There are some notable benefits as well, such as free college classes, which is great! I've had some great coworkers here as well. Overall, this job is a great choice to get all kinds of careers going.

Cons

Walmart management is a big concern. You really aren't treated like a "family" here, and they will be sure you stay on your toes. Rather than being a source for encouragement for associates, they feel more menacing and even inhumane at times. I've even had times where they would suggest I do things that kind of go against my values. You can feel yourself start to sweat when they are around you, which is probably a bad sign. Customers can also be an issue, as there are many customers that will yell at you and break your heart no matter how much kindness you give to them. First day training was also an issue for me here as well, as it was very messy my first few weeks. (These challenges can be seen in a good light though; managing through these issues can provide great experience!)
