Pros

Its a job, so it will pay you.... Personally, I like helping the frustrated customers, that no one else will help.

Cons

Lots of politics. Management likes you or they don't, based on who you know, or who you do- not based on what you accomplish throughout the day. They try to make you feel like a part of the team but do it through store chants, and what not. Care very little for their customers. Their training is ridiculous! It is all computer based, and a joke, and a waste of time.

Pros

The work life balance at Wal-Mart and general understanding of management is very good. You will rarely encounter better situations in terms of being given time off to take care of personal matters, vacations, etc. Management is also very respectful towards employees and vice versa, there is a strong culture of mutual respect in the organization and anything else is generally not tolerated. A culture of quality work is also generally present and to get the right job done. Overally the company is a fair place to work for where if you are aggressive you have lots of opportunity to learn and grow in many positions in the company HQ.

Cons

Not aggressive Geographically undesireable location for young people Not well educated

Pros

Wal-Mart as a company is a solid growing company. The founders values (three basic beliefs) of the company are tools to live and work by. The company does provide services and products that allow Americans to live better financially.

Cons

Negative media PR. Diversity goal imbalances, geared more towards senior management meeting there compliance goals over the "best quailfied individual" for the position. "Cookie cutter" mentality, always thinking that what works best in one part of the buiness works well for all. Large size, can be a negative, people become hard to see... can't see fruit bearing trees because of the massive forest"
