Pros

Great starting point from colege, there are many tools you can learn from and the coworkers are super friendl and helpful. The company has a lot of resources and is trying to grow in many different directions.

Cons

I'm not sure if the open desk concept is sometimes forgotten by upper management when you can overhearing them talking negatively about the people they manage. This makes me believe there is a misunderstanding in how to properly communicate with one another. Really hoping Wal-Mart can correct this issue as having effective, respectful, integrity for one another is a prerequisite to being successful. The company has high potential but lets remember this isn't a high school.

Compensation is reasonably competitive and predictable. Work life balance.

Cons

The internals systems are absolutely moronic. Facilities and HR department are mind-blowingly nuts! Parking is horrible.

Pros

I love working at Walmart Canada (Deer Foot City). I have early morning hours where I pick orders on an RF scanner and stock merchandise on the sales floor. My duties also include price changes, scanning outs and order merchandise, completing back room bin audits, finalizing counts on merchandise on hand and correcting shelf cap errors.

Cons

Customer Value Associate is a large area to cover and there is never enough staff in our area. Most of us are part time and there is no room for growth and advancement. I have been there for 9 months and sometime have no hours for a week, very lame. We are told not to complain about our hours. This is very unfair as the merchandising part time people seem to get reasonable hours and way more that customer value associates. There is also a lot of favortism coming from department managers and merchandising manager, which is very hurtful. People can not survive on 12 hours a week.
