Pros

Walmart gives you a sense of purpose in this tough economy. Their benefits are good although the perception from outsiders is that they are not. The pay from my experience was better than average. This company does a lot of things really well.

Cons

Long hours, only 6 paid holidays off, work sat mornings once a month, micro mgt in IT heavy work load, mgt not understanding what their associates do.

Pros

I loved my job at WalMart because I love to shop there also. Meeting new people such as coworkers and customers. The job was fun to do and it made the day go by fast. I was offered a great wage compared to what I was used to. Updating my skills on computer for my department whenever assigned, which leads to be a better employee and to be more helpful to the community purchasing things from the store or my department. Wearing protective hats (bonnets) and gloves while working for sanitation purposes makes me feel good about the cleanliness. The rules are good and they are there for everyones safety.

Cons

I guess there are always downsides in every job but I really havent any complaints about WalMart except some of the coworkers abuse breaks and lunch periods by wasting time talking before and after they punch out leaving the coworkers on the job to do more than their share of the workload.
