Pros

Not too many. For me convenience. The people are fairly nice at the store I work at. Manager is easy to deal with and the personnel manager was one of the most professional employee I met.

Cons

The pay is low, like their prices.Picked up the job just for some extra cash. With many years experience in receiving, I thought the compensation would be reasonable. They informed me the best they could give me at that point was $7.90 an hour. With the first raise based on review not for a year. Most benefits do not start until after one year, which compared to my full time job is excessive.

Pros

Its a job, so it will pay you.... Personally, I like helping the frustrated customers, that no one else will help.

Cons

Lots of politics. Management likes you or they don't, based on who you know, or who you do- not based on what you accomplish throughout the day. They try to make you feel like a part of the team but do it through store chants, and what not. Care very little for their customers. Their training is ridiculous! It is all computer based, and a joke, and a waste of time.

Pros

The work life balance at Wal-Mart and general understanding of management is very good. You will rarely encounter better situations in terms of being given time off to take care of personal matters, vacations, etc. Management is also very respectful towards employees and vice versa, there is a strong culture of mutual respect in the organization and anything else is generally not tolerated. A culture of quality work is also generally present and to get the right job done. Overally the company is a fair place to work for where if you are aggressive you have lots of opportunity to learn and grow in many positions in the company HQ.

Cons

Not aggressive Geographically undesireable location for young people Not well educated
