Pros

- Great resume builder. Other companies love to see Wal-Mart on a resume. - exposure to different technologies - able to move around laterally every 2 years - peer review process within evaluation system - If you are identified as a "fast track" individual then you will be advanced at a blinding speed.

Cons

- Wal-Mart ISD is based on metrics. The sooner you figure out what you're being graded on, the sooner you'll advance. - You are a number at ISD. Do not ask for special consideration. Work-life balance is based on numbers, not the needs of the individual. - Directors-level and above managers tend to stagnate in a role and create a feifdom, even turning down promotions to stay comfortable. - Certain groups get more consideration for advancement than the norm. This appears to be done without consideration to their fit within the role or the team.

Pros

I like the associates that I work with. Some of the customers are nice. If I know of a day or several days that I need off and put in a request several months in advance, I can usually get them off. I like that when I leave my area, I do not have to take anything home with me.

Cons

The mangers can be mean and demanding of the associates. Sometimes they are mean to each other. In the area that I work, the schedule is very random. If the schedule were set I would love it. Some of the customers are mean. Most of the time it is hard to get a hold of a manager and that is frustrating when there is an angry customer staring at you. I do not always get my breaks or lunches on time, or at all. Most of the time I also do not get to leave work on time.
