It has been Okay, but it helps to make fake friendships with management and other employees in order to get anywhere

Pros

It is an available job, considering the economical down time we are in. Benefits are around average but do help.

Cons

Bureaucracy, Management is never supportive. I have been an employee for 15 years and moved to different departments, received a Masters degree and still not considered for management...., while they move other employees with very little movement, experience, and education into management. Limited full time positions, and they keep replacing them with part time positions, so a reason to work there is losing its positive side.

Compared to other jobs for college students, this paid well and had great hours.

Pros

Pays better than many comparable jobs. Same benefits as Walmart employees (bonuses, health care, etc). Really understanding about school commitments and scheduling around classes.

Cons

Selling plus isn't fun. Pushing credit card sign ups isn't fun. Many customers aren't great to deal with. Having to move everything to another cart (especially 50lb. dog food). Management doesn't really do anything except breath down your neck.

Pros

Managers actually listened to my suggestions and used some of them. I was given the freedom to express my creativity as long as I was generating sales.

Cons

You're working for the walmart corporation - I'm a fan of small business.
