Pros

you eventually get benefits after a few months, raises are given on a timetable, organization on sales floor is satisfactory, hours are closely monitored so that you do not have to put in overtime, uniforms are required so you don't have to put on a fashion show.

Cons

some of the rules are taken way too seriously. they should be more flexible according to each different situation. lunch times should be given in a more timely manner and closely monitored so that all employees get equal opportunity at the correct time alloted. more praise should be given for a job well done and certain positions should carry some type of commission such as electronics.

Pros

Wal-Mart rewards hard work, self motivation, and ambition. You do not have to have a college degree to move up in the company and have a career you can be proud of. All in one building you have a multitude of different jobs, any personality can find a niche, all you have to be is a hard worker.

Cons

Many peolple still have jobs despite poor work performance.

Pros

Were willing to hire me, a college student, just for the summer and later, allowed me to work over my Christmas vacation. Most other places scoffed at hiring someone who would only be living in the area for three months.

Cons

Low pay--above minimum wage, but still low. The manager who was to conduct my review delayed it several weeks because she was "so busy" which delayed my getting a 25 cent raise.
