Pros

+ Compensation is competitive + Decent growth and acceleration if you move between teams and not stay in the same team + Comparable to other companies, you can phone it in / work at a constant 70% and still do well. + Looks good on the resume depending on the department + Campus is decent + Attractive people, seems like physical attractiveness is preferred on the business side + Decently diverse, LGBTQ+, race, gender, and etc... actually surprising. More so then their parent company (ISD / Brick and Mortar / Bentonville)

Cons

- Pay is good but benefits are lacking (no snacks, free food, unlimited PTO is just for show etc...) - No alcohol or cussing only applies for Directors and lower, if you're Sr. Dir and up they don't care - 1 on 1 / 1:1 are formalities, associates in other department say the same thing. - Parking is a joke still even after a massive lay off, if you find a parking spot you'll most likely get a dent or scratch - Company and Department goals are a giant moving target, changing almost every 6 months - Bonus isn't fair, Sr. Directors and up are basically guaranteed bonuses and RSU no matter how badly the company does - No culture, and even joking about culture gets reprimanded and when recruiters poach they mention they pay competitive since WM Culture is lacking. - CEO has stated numerous times that he has no faith in the teams before joining - Highly political, very. Saving face is more important than actual work performance. - 60+ hrs from Oct - Feb with no compensation - Massive lay offs every year in the dotcom side, and maybe every 6 mo for overall company (ISD / brick and mortar) - Really high turnover naturally

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. I am glad to see some of the pros you have listed in your review. It is always great to hear about growth and career development as we do strive to create opportunities and clear career paths for our associates. I can also agree we do have a diverse workplace, and feel this has brought a good amount of innovation and creativity to our group. Regarding the other feedback, it concerns me to see the negative experience that is being shared. In our ecommerce lifestyle we are constantly evolving and changing with the time. We do our best to keep department goals consistent overtime, but they may have to be slightly adjusted depending on our company goals. This is very similar to our culture as well. Our culture is the foundation of what we do and is defined by our values. We pride ourselves on our values of service, respect, excellence, and integrity, and believe these have been essential components to who we are today. We strive to treat each induvial with respect and be inclusive. This also leads to your feedback regarding office politics, which is something I feel strongly against and firmly believe we should act with integrity and treat each other with fairness. What you have mentioned in your review today, is definitely not the experience we want you to have while working with us at Walmart. I appreciate your advice to us. We hold our leaders to high expectations and encourage engagement with each department/team. If you would like to talk through this in more detail please come see me. - Becky S.

Pros

high pay good benefits i guess

Cons

BS trumps honest work in almost any situation if you talk about something you know nothing about and fool enough people you will get promoted to the top of the ladder. Honest and hard working people will just be ignored

Pros

The people are great. The office is nice.

Cons

There is no culture. People are constantly worried about layoffs. Jet.com associates will be promoted over more qualified Walmart.com employees.

Thanks for giving us feedback. Hearing directly from our associates is the only way we can improve. I'm happy you're enjoying our office and I'm in agreement that our associates are great. However, it's disappointing to hear you're less than satisfied with our culture and aren't feeling valued. Our associates are very important to us, and for that reason, we've been growing our People Experience (PX) team with the goal of improving the associate experience and giving associates amazing experiences. I understand there've been a lot of changes this year, but I can assure you there is no favoritism and all associates across the organization are valued. If you feel comfortable doing so, I welcome you to send me your feedback directly. I can assure you we have a zero tolerance for retaliation. Thank you for sticking with us on this journey. - Becky Schmitt, SVP Human Resources
