Pros

No matter what you need at Wal-Mart, there is a section for you. A person can head to Wal-Mart and purchase their groceries for the week, a digital camera, get their vehicle repaired, and shop for clothes, all in one trip.

Cons

Wal-Mart has come under fire for their employee health insurance policy. They do not offer their employees a health care policy that is competitive with what other employers provide for their subordinates. Wal-Mart workers are often forced to use public assistance to make up for what they lack and most Wal-Mart employees struggle to make ends meet as a result. While certain items are much cheaper when you purchase them at Wal-Mart, this is by design. Wal-Mart charges shoppers less for some items, but if you are someone who pays close attention to prices, you will realize that some items actually cost a lot more than they would if you had purchased them at a different store. This is by design and is a way for Wal-Mart to recoup what they’ve lost on the less expensive items.

Pros

Being able to work with different individuals and helping them make an impact on the world. I know that i am needed everyday that I walk into work.

Cons

A down side to working at Walmart is that I am not able to stay in my area of concentration. I am expected to work in other areas that I do not know and can get in trouble because I do not know it.
