Pros

It was a good first job, they hire anyone. You really are able to expand to different departments and gain further experience.

Cons

They really use their employees. I was working several departments and was hardly ever acting as a cashier, but yet I received the lowest pay. I asked to be transferred permanently to a different department that I was already working on the regular but they refused. Instead they were giving the pay raises to people who had hardly spent any time there. In order to be treated right by the front end managers (CSM's) you had to be really cool with them on a personal basis. Wal-Mart not only sells cheap products, but they are cheap with their employees too. They'll work you 39.5 hours, just so that they don't have to give you full time benefits.

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.
