Pros

There is a lot of opportunity for advancement, meaning that there is a lot of different jobs within the company, something for everyone.

Cons

Management team is very disorganized at all levels of the company. In addition, the associates that have worked for Wal-Mart for 10+ years seem to be able to get away with doing less that the newer associates. I don't know whether that is common throughout the company. In addition, gays and lesbians in our store are not treated fairly and have been forced to leave most often leaving the company to work elsewhere.

Pros

benifits are good compaired to other retailers

Cons

The expections are very high at Wal Mart. The job that is given to you is difficult because you work short handed. The culture that Mr. Sam Started is long gone. Department managers sales volume exceed the sales of most stores in town. The pay compensation if far less that the responsibility they have.

Pros

Lots of employment opportunities. Opportunity for people new to the job market to work for a retail employer with benefits, limited as they may be. Exposure to the retail "big box" marketing environment, which could lead to better employment opportunities with other major retailers.

Cons

Lack of communication between middle management and associates. Lack of situaltional awareness by lower/middle management.
