Pros

It is a port in a storm if you are unemployeed and beena paycheck and don't mind living in Bentonville, AR.. The cafeteria is good.

Cons

Corporate Office: There are a lot. I checked off good advancement opportunities. However this was not for a good reason. It's because so many people, management included, are constantly leaving. I'm not impressed (more like shocked) with those that are being promoted. They're always looking for people on the web based job boards, again, because so many people leave. They make no reservations about making quite clear, that once you're there, your job comes first, above ALL else! Crumby working in little cubicles that are noisy. My observation is that many devoted people there work in fear and keep their heads down and mouths shut to avoid conflict.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
