      Pros

      Great benefits, without the union. Health benefits are better than other places I've looked for employment. I can support my family without others in my household having to work. Great Stock options & 401k. Important insurance coverage provided, with more insurance available. Reasonable wages, without a cent going to unions who seem much more interested in shutting down Wal-Mart than making it a better place for employees. Generous bonuses, which one wouldn't/shouldn't expect. Pays for days in which you have jury duty, without taking them out of your personal time, or vacation time. Compensation for travel. Great people to work with, and satisfaction from a job well done.

      Cons

      Sometimes there are employees that get away with far too much. They should be fired, but Wal-Mart has a very liberal policy that takes about three chances (or more) before a person is fried. It works for the honest, hard working employees who don't deserve to be fired- but for the slackers that think Wal-Mart owes them, it works out for them and puts a lot more stress and work load on the rest of us. Moving up in the company takes a lot of time, and sometimes you aren't certain how you can move up in the company. It would be nice to have a better idea.

      Walmart--some good, some bad

      Pros

      Walmart has endless career opportunities, there are no limits. I think they have a pretty good benefits package, along with the 401K and stock purchase plan. There are countless discounts available to associates on the walmartbenefits.com website. I went to college, obtained a degree and ended up not leaving because of my pay/benefits.

      Cons

      No vision insurance, very strict leave policy now, dealing with the public (they aren't ALWAYS right). Constant change of policies, some confusion among associates. Pay caps--no raise for the past 2 years.

      WHAT HAPPENED TO WAL-MART???!!

      Pros

      When all else fails, and Wal-Mart is your ONLY choice. I am older now, and jobs are harder to come by, but I wanted to try Wal-Mart, even though I had been told by previous Wal-Mart assoicates NOT to work there. They said they were unfair and worked you like a dog. I thought, "How hard could it be?" NOW, I know. The hours alone will kill you. They will not give you a regular schedule like most stores. They change it every week, so you can never make plans to do anything with your family. It seems like all I do is work now.

      Cons

      Schedules that are different every day....keeps you physically drained. Closing late at night and having to come in early the next morning. Never enough help in ANY department....when you ask for help, you get, "Do the best you can" and that's it. The insurance is not the best, but better than nothing at all. No matter how hard you work, you never get any praise. I have never worked as hard as I do in my entire life than I do at Wal-Mart. I never see the store manager or the department manager in my area. I have asked repeated questions to my assistant manager and she never know anything, or ever helps solve any problems.
