Pros

Benefits are good; health, dental, and vision. 401k matched up to 6%. Can purchase stock which is matched up to 15%. After 90 days you receive a discount card for 10% off most items in the store. You get Walmart+ for free. And they do offer to pay for schooling for certain degrees.

Cons

Bonuses are lack luster compared to what they offered in years prior. At my store they don't do a good job of making open positions in lower management known for employees. Training isn't consistent where some leads/coaches train very well and others don't cover much and expect you to figure it out which causes problems for new employees and customers.

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.
