Pros

Not much to say here. I worked in the management line of work, and they really don't pay anything, unless you have connections. They move you to a high position , however your pay scale stays the same.

Cons

Don't where to being.. They are the most messed managed outfit I have every worked for. They make more red tape than they need and too many Yuppies s running the show and running the company into the ground. I believe , Walmart will soon be splitting up as a company here soon or will end up with Unions in there DC areas. And that is what they get for hiring a bunch of non-English speaking labor.

Pros

Good technical talent. It is a mix where a lot of them are fresh out of school but have PhDs. Very few senior technical staff.

Cons

Most of the non-walmartlabs management that you have to deal with is quite political and extremely hierarchical in org. This goes down to the ground staff also. Case in point: I had parked my car in the one of many visitor parking spots because the garage was filled up completely. I was questioned as to why I had come in that late (11 am) by the security guard !!! This is one of many examples, but you get the idea. And yes, If you lose your badge, its 25$ to get a new one (out of your pocket :)) Health benefits are really poor.
