      if you can avoid it...DO

      Cashier associate

      Pros

      They have a good benefits program, health insurance, 401k, and if your store makes any money you get a profit share.

      Cons

      Long hours, it's hard to get breaks on time (If your name is at the end of the alphabet), what they tell you about procedures changes constantly, and if you aren't a floor employee you don't get any heads up on changes, the management doesn't know policy (partly because it changes constantly), there is often no support from management, it takes a minimum of a month before to request days off and at this wal-mart it takes a minimum of two months because it is so understaffed, and say good bye to ALL major holidays.

      Maybe good for initial job experience

      Customer service manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A good place to interact with people and learn some basics about customer service. In this current job environment where you often must have some experience, Wal-Mart can be better than nothing.

      Cons

      Seems to be a lot of politics within the workplace. While they highlight the opportunities to advance in the company, it is often near impossible to get promoted. Also injuries on the job are highly frowned upon (even if not your fault) and if the injury is serious your case will probably be dragged out forever until you quit. (occurred to a relative) Upper store management will often schedule inadequate sales floor coverage so as to decrease store expenses and increase their bonuses (at the expense of providing great customer service) I don't know how many times I could not find enough people to staff the registers and had customers were complaining of long lines.
