Pros

Due to many having a preordained idea of what kind of associates work at Walmart one can strive minimally and still show great promise to move up quickly. Before my second month was over I had learned my department managers job and was being offered other areas. My store manager is an amicable man and understood my declines after explaining how I wished to be in other sections while moving up the corporate ladder.

Cons

The patience and thick skin required to accept criticism/negative demeanor's from employees who are either not able or unwilling to see the positives needed to give themselves a good day. False motivation leads to true motivation.

Pros

Managing the Vision Center in a low volume store is not bad. In my opinion, the pay is fine. The hours are improving. Vacation time is good. Insurance benefits are good. Training for advancement has improved.

Cons

If you don't keep the VC staffed well, you end up working too much with too few breaks. Raises are miniscule. Opportunity for advancement is minimal. Training for new hires does not flow well. The book chapters do not prepare the new associate to be ready to work alone quickly. The process for hiring new staff is terrible. Positions can't be opened until candidates have applied. Candidates should fall into the requisition even if they apply after it was opened.
