Pros

It paid SOME of the bills and it was local.

Cons

UNDER PAID and OVER WORKED (Under Evaluation once a year) you only get a pay raise once a year the minimum 35 cents and the most 45-50 cents but there is allowed the 60 cent raise BUT NO one gets that ! You have to be a perfect employee (they tell you) but its a lie they STILL won't give it . Still expected to do more.They keep you poor financially and they hurt the economy by doing so. They keep the poor, poor ! NEVER get paid for your over time. They make you cut your hours off your shift the next day. The management is young and immature,have no people skills and inexperienced . Sams club has no business putting young people in charge when they haven't experience in that field or the respect to the older adults.They tell you they respect the individual-they don't. A 22 year old telling and giving a 40 year old advice on "how to do their job" and talking with no respect Even though the older person has been doing their job for 14 years and they just hired this 22 year old to run the department ??? Something is definitely wrong with this Wal-Mart Corporation when you have to hire young people. Why because you don't want to pay someone with experience the right money?

Pros

It's better pay than you will get from Walmart. If you work really hard, catch on fast, go above and beyond(do more than your paid for) do everything managers ask, volunteer for everything and keep your mouth shut you will be promoted in time...don't forget to be real chummy with managers.. This was me for about 6 months.

Cons

On my eval I was told to voice my opinion and talk to my team lead and manager about things I did not agree with. Otherwise I was given an outstanding on eval. I was really liked up to this point and was told I was next in line for Grocery Team Lead. By my 8-9th month I was not like. So, work hard, keep your mouth shut and you will be promoted. General Manager listens to Assistant Managers over anyone, Assistant Managers listen to Team Leads over anyone, Team Leads are out to make themselves look good to get promoted. Open Door policey does not happen. If you complain to the GM about a Team Lead or Assistant Manager it is somehow lost and nothing happens. Walmart needs a union.
