Pros

The management team is well-trained and very professional. Also, the company is very focused on employee and customer safety, offering safety incentives to keep accident rates very low. It is obvious that the management team genuinely cares about the employees. There is also an abundant amount of opportunities for advancement, and you don't have to be employed for a tediously long amount of time before you are eligible for promotions. My personal employment experience with Walmart was exceptional and, if need be, I would definitely go back.

Cons

Depending on what department you get hired in, the hours can be very inconsistent. Also, as with most chain companies, you are not allowed to ask off for the holidays (though you do get holiday pay!) and they are open year-round so you might be working every holiday. Other than that, there really aren't any other cons.

Pros

In most cases the company is very flexible balancing home and work life or work and school. Though they expect you to give 100% while you are there, they also realize your life don't revolve around them.

Cons

The company as a whole doesn't budget for enough man hours in all areas to properly and effectively serve our customers. When one or two stores go over their budgeted hours, everyone in the market has to tighten their belts and cut back on hours. And in stores that are short handed as it is that hurts.
