Pros

It *used* to be an okay place to work. They give some credits (which translate to increased starting pay) depending on past work experience. Discount on most merchandise (not applicable for clearance or most grocery items.)

Cons

Severe problems with, at least, my store management. There was one particular manager that I was having problems with and he wouldn't stop harassing me until I was fired. I've had no problems with Walmart until I transferred into that store and the write-ups I had, including the firing, were all from this same manager. The other managers in the store either didn't know about the problem I've had with this manager or they distanced themselves from the problem.

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.
