Pros

Benefits, job security, pretty much guaranteed a raise every year of at least .40, and normally great bonus yearly...can always transfer your job after 6 months if you decide to relocate.

Cons

Wayyyyyyyyyyyy too much favoritism from store to store...even after obtaining a college degree and showing that you have what it takes to be a great leader a member of their "clique" may get promoted over you. Store manager can stop you from getting management when in many cases you would have really been the chosen one...

Pros

Nice people, Flexible work hrs, stable pay

Cons

There is no clear career road map or vision for the employees due to planned migration to the new ecommerce platform which services/labs teams are building. Upper/Middle Management is too busy saving their position, Lower/middle management still working in decades old mindset while rest of the employees suffer from very low motivation due to lack of recognition and direction. Absolutely no career growth unless you are connected to the right folks. Teams still operate in ancient/outdated delivery models even though there are efforts to become agile due to which there are frequent missed project deadlines, overwork & poor output. There is way too much politics between the teams in Bentonville, California & India due to which the output always suffers. There is very little transparency w.r.t project/roadmap planning and teams get to know the information only when it is too late and of no value.
