Pros

The pay is decent, and the employee discount is nice — that’s about it.

Cons

Health insurance is ridiculously expensive and barely covers anything. Management is a complete mess — it feels like they’ll promote anyone just to fill a spot, and almost none of them know how to lead or communicate. The go-to answer from any manager is always “I don’t know.” Don’t expect real support, follow-through, or accountability from anyone above you — because there isn’t any. There’s no real room for advancement, and it’s easy to hit your pay cap fast. Communication across the building is terrible — between shifts, departments, and even HR. The workplace isn’t diverse or inclusive, and hiring seems heavily one-sided. Most of the new hires I saw before leaving didn’t speak English, which made basic communication and teamwork extremely difficult. It’s frustrating and unprofessional at every level.

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.
