Pros

Due to many having a preordained idea of what kind of associates work at Walmart one can strive minimally and still show great promise to move up quickly. Before my second month was over I had learned my department managers job and was being offered other areas. My store manager is an amicable man and understood my declines after explaining how I wished to be in other sections while moving up the corporate ladder.

Cons

The patience and thick skin required to accept criticism/negative demeanor's from employees who are either not able or unwilling to see the positives needed to give themselves a good day. False motivation leads to true motivation.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
