Business Outlook
Pros
Fast pace. I worked at WalMart, desperate to get any kind of work. Within thirteen months I was promoted from "Door Greeter" to "Cashier" to "Customer Service Manager," although I was constantly reminded that the last promotion might only be temporary, based upon performance. I mention this because it's difficult to find a good-paying job, and I did find one that paid three times as much and moved on, but of all the crappy minimum-wage jobs I had to work, nothing came close to the opportunity I had at WalMart.
Cons
Of course, most of us at the bottom of the totem pole were treated like idiots. It's understandable, but it gets old after a while.
