Pros

Wal-Mart awarded me extra pay for my previous work experience, and I made around $10 an hour, which is not bad, especially in Georgia when the minimum wage was $5.15 an hour at the time. In an eight-hour shift you're given a one-hour unpaid lunch break and two 15-minute paid breaks, so you get a break every two hours. I liked the work environment since I didn't have to be bothered by cigarette smoke or smelling like food after work.

Cons

I worked the overnight shift which got pretty boring after a while, especially when I was assigned to be a door greeter. Even cashiers sometimes have to work as door greeters. Also, part-timers don't get as many benefits as full-timers, and if you want health insurance you have to sign up for it during a certain window of time or you won't be able to get it until the next year.

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.
