Pros

Easy to get a job there. Good for summer gig. Not good for serious career. Good for students or just someone looking to make some extra money or just to get by. They purposely have you work one hour less than full time so you don't qualify for any benefits.

Cons

The pay is pretty low and there's not a lot of incentive to work hard and advance in the company. Sometimes they have you work the most ridiculous hours. Some of the managers can be rude and a big pain the butt.

Pros

The only reason I can think of to work at Wal-Mart is to earn a paycheck. If a person can make it into management, then there is compensation. Other than that, there aren't any "best" reasons.

Cons

The company says it cares about its employees, but it doesn't. Sam Walton's ideas are not encouraged. He was a brilliant man, and it's a shame that his ideas are not supported.

Pros

If you are in between jobs, and can not receive unemployment Wal Mart is an option. Or as a supplemental income, part time work for a little extra cash.

Cons

The management makes up its own policies, many of which contradict other managers and even official guidelines. Also the hardest workers rarely get noticed or rewarded, it is who they seem to click with that matters for promotions which... only offer a 50 cent raise most of the time.
