Pros

Overall this is a fun place to work and the people are great. This is the big reason that keeps me here. Below are some good points: The people you work with are great and always willing to help or teach you. Walmart.com allows a good balance between work and home life. A shuttle program is now available to pick up fairly close to home and take you to and from work. A new Gym for employees is now available. While working here you have the opportunity to learn so much about the business which includes working with the Ark Home office.

Cons

No career path from most positions so you need to create or ask for what other opportunities are available. Structure is always changing which leads to you having many managers in one year. Constantly dealing with issues that from some departments deem critical however not enough research is done from the folks screaming however other departments have to scramble to answer their questions. This is not very productive as it seems to always pull you away from what you wanted to accomplish that day. I think it’s great that there is plenty of work to do here however with your calendar booked all the time for meetings you find yourself working late every evening to keep up with the workload.

Pros

Definitely family friendly environment, typically no crazy work hours.

Cons

Definitely a place of upheaval! Set some big goals and realized the current product management structure wouldn't allow them to achieve them so had to change. Going to be a painful change for some as lots of people have had it pretty cushy and are now actually going to have to earn their paychecks!

Pros

Competitive compensation and benefits. There are a lot of knowledgeable people that work for the company, however, the incompetence at the top and the greed of the almighty dollar greatly limits many of those employees potential.

Cons

Incompetent upper management hiring practices. Negative perception within the community about Wal-Mart's treatment of its employees. Work/family balance plain sucks for lack of a better term. For example, if you are a member of management, then your days off are always preceded by a closing shift. Very seldom are your days off concurrent and if you had a manager like I did, he would put you on a 6 day work week at the drop of a hat with no intentions of giving that time back to you. And if you ever complain, then your career is over. It's a simple as that.
