Pros

It's really easy to get hired, work is easy. the people I met were very nice, friendly people, outside of the management.

Cons

Work is very mindless, management is very impersonal and cold hearted. If I wanted to take a day out of work, there was a pretty high chance I would be fired. There was a high turnover, so the management really didn't care who was puching the carriages or checking out customers, as long as they were making some money.

Pros

It is very easy to get a job here. I've seen elderly people to the mentally challenged get jobs here also the very uneducated so its definately an easy job to obtain. As far as room to grow vertically, if you think becoming an assistant manager working 50-60 hours a week but still having a 40 k salary is good, then go for it.

Cons

They will hire you to do a job, train you in other fields, and expect you be a multi-tasker. One day you could be pushing carts and by the afternoon ringing at a register. This is all fine and good, but at least pay for these services and not sound like your doing the employee a favor.

Pros

It is a port in a storm if you are unemployeed and beena paycheck and don't mind living in Bentonville, AR.. The cafeteria is good.

Cons

Corporate Office: There are a lot. I checked off good advancement opportunities. However this was not for a good reason. It's because so many people, management included, are constantly leaving. I'm not impressed (more like shocked) with those that are being promoted. They're always looking for people on the web based job boards, again, because so many people leave. They make no reservations about making quite clear, that once you're there, your job comes first, above ALL else! Crumby working in little cubicles that are noisy. My observation is that many devoted people there work in fear and keep their heads down and mouths shut to avoid conflict.
