Pros

depending on what your manager is like, many employees find it not too structured and are not micro managed. Basically anyone and I mean ANYONE can get hired at wal mart. They will hire people with handicaps and are very flexible with people who have physical limitations. Also its very difficult to get fired.

Cons

Some managers are good, some are awful. The pay is extremely low I don't know how people can live on that much. I worked the night shift which is the highest pay at $13/hr, day people make $9.50 - $11. They say there are great opportunities for growth in the company, there is but the pay is still terrible. Being promoted to a department manager is about a $0.40 pay raise for 10 times the work. My new job pays more than an actual manager as they make about $45,000, according to this site. And my workload is about the same.

Working weekends and holidays. It can also be hard to get PTO dates approved, at time, despite submitting far in advance.

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.
