Pros

The other workers are everyday people who work hard and are not thanked enough for it.

Cons

Upper management are dumber than a door nail, they are not willing to help out when needed and dont communicate with others. They think they are better than others and need to just treat us all equally

Pros

If you live in an area with few job opportunities it is one of the best choices because it doesn't require you to get dirty and you are allowed lunch breaks. Most jobs in areas with few choices do not allow you enough time to eat and you will find yourself slowing down because of the lack of energy. Walmart requires you to take your lunch break before the six hour mark in your shift. You aren't required to work with dirty materials such as grease, food products, or chemicals. All precautions are taken so that you do not ruin your work attire.

Cons

Sometimes you are unable to get your work done because you will be called to the front to run a cash register. If you have a lot of tasks to accomplish this causes problems. And sometimes you have to work more than one area at the same time. There are often times when you will be working as hard as you can but unable to complete tasks due to being shifted to another task. For example if you are trying to put up the freight that has arrived you might be called to the front to run a cash register. This takes time away from you duties as a employee.

Pros

Wal-Mart provides an excellent array and opportunity for almost everyone; especially those just beginning from college, and definitely any High School graduates who chose to stop their institutional education at that level. Hourly employees receive cash bonuses based on merit up to 3.2% of the amount earned in a year; while Salaried positions receive annually 20% bonuses and can be higher as they advance. Many of the associates work in close quarters, which can be a benefit in the form of learning relationships for team members, opportunity to grow through mentor/mentee relationships, and open-door policies relating to fair & equal treatment.

Cons

As with many large-scale corporate environments, some individuals within management can be incompetent, biased, simply not the type of person that you work well with. My advice is to interview your senior management as much as they interview you. Be aware of those around you and possible negative interactions.
