Pros

Food discount card, THe best Gym facility at Bentonville AR home office.

Cons

Walmart has the power to be the best company worldwide, the problem is the way they treat the employees. We many hours of work 70 sometimes 80 hours a week. The health coverage is the worst I ever had, almost every employee has coverage in some place else, they never pay a full bonus, they always explain the same thing, “We didn’t sell enough , we had a bad quarter”. Some years they paid 35% , 40% of bonus, I never got a full bonus in . I guess everybody stop eating and nobody is buying more food . Upper management is very difficult to set up a meeting, they blow us off all the time without explanation. They keep giving projects and more projects, with short deadlines when you say that you are already bringing extra work for home and cannot handle any more extra projects , they just tell you to figure it out. The salary is bad and is not getting better anytime soon.

Pros

You get paid for the hours you work. You are supposed to get 15 minutes of break for every 2 hours worked. Don't need a gym membership because you run around enough at work.

Cons

I have worked here for 5 years, I have been told on countless times that I am an asset, one of the best, a "super-star," yet I have only recieved exceeds on my yearly eval twice, because the things I exceed at are not even what the evals are based on. I have been a night shift manager for going on a year and a half in the second biggest store in the state, we have gone through 20 managers in 2 years on nights alone, due to people leaving walmart for health and stress reasons. We just got a new market manager who has froze all our seasonal hiring for christmas and the holidays, and we have had around 10 associates leave since so we can not be set up any better for the holiday time. I am in charge of the backroom and getting things binned in, I have usually 2-4 associates a night, thats to get anywhere from 700-1500 picks done, and anywhere from 1500-3000 boxes binned in. Everyday I walk into day shift management leaving trash and mixed carts for me to deal with, and on top of that, the bins are always full. We take cbls for safety telling us that items can not be in the binns higher than 12' but we are constantly forced to climb a ladder by ourselves with boxes that are huge and 50+lbs and putting them in the bins to heights of 16'+. During the day they pull department managers every which way from sunday and they can never run any freight or work anything from bins or do any picks. I am constantly hearing my management disrespecting my employees and insulting them, one of our co managers told me our whole unloading team is worthless. It has gotten to the point where the work load for my shift has been so bad that I haven't been allowed to take a single 15 minute break in over 8 months.
