Pros

benefit package be sure and get disability insurance cause you very well may need it after working for them. I ended up in ICU for 3 weeks and with my health ruined for life. My disability payment is not much but that is because I wasn't working many hours in the time period that they base the payment on.

Cons

very unfair to women and disabled persons. they are paid less for the same job when question why a person hired to replace me when I was moved up was making more money than I was. I was told it was because he was a man and was supporting his mother. Well I was supporting my family of 3 so how was that fair. While in a wheel chair they found a very degrading never Existing before or after job for me to do. I wish now I had sued them for Discrimination, but at the time I was fighting for my life and had bigger worries.

Pros

WalMart is fairly easy to get hired into, and fairly difficult to get fired from, in my opinion. They are non-discriminatory, and do their due part in higher those who are challenged in some way. They do have profit sharing, company stock purchase and retirement benefits, as well as health and life coverage.

Cons

Once hired into WalMart, you are owned. You are encouraged to have open availability. Those who don't, may well not get the hours they need to support their income needs. Although allowance are made to hire the physically and mentally challenged, they are often placed in job areas that wind up hindering the performance of their co-workers. WalMart's health coverage is lacking in some major areas...most notably, mental health.

Pros

The pay (for no college degree or experience) and hours that fit my schedule. Job security, even in a bad economy they do well.

Cons

Although good pay for someone in their 20s in college, not so great compared to the 50-60k jobs college grads get. It is a big corporation and thus has the usual non sense such as lack of communication between those who make the rules and those who have to follow the rules.
