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.

Pros

It's the customers (most not all) They are quite nice and a few co-workers that appear nice make it worth while being there. I like the fact that if ever I am able to, can move elsewhere via transfers through the stores in other states.

Cons

It's like nothing you do is recognized. In my first review there were things said, like I didn't invite customers over when I had none. They call this "Redlining". I do redling all the time plus help my fellow cashiers with bagging or whatever I can if there are no customers at my line for any length of time. Who wants to just stand around? Saying that I don't 'redline' in my review to me, made me think someone just wrote something down, not facts, and hasn't noticed what I actually do and accomplish there.
