Pros

Standard jobs with low minimum amounts of work to do. You only have to work as hard as you want to. Friendly work environment Major room for advancement - seems like there are either department manager, front end manager, or various other manager jobs opened on a monthly basis.

Cons

Low wages based on other retail stores in area. The Walmart I work at is extremely short handed, meaning anyone who can fill out an application gets hired. This causes large amounts of excess training for associates which quit right away due to lack of help, causing an endless cycle. Hiring wages are controled outside of the store on a regional level, and evaluated on a shcedule instead of on an as needed basis.

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.
