Pros
I started at the low level of Walmart and grew as I got older and even further out of college. College was not the reason why moved out nor did it help me. I was an Assistant only for the last year of my 8 years with them. Even with the 7 years of knowledge I had with Walmart (and 3 coming from actually working at Corporate Office), nothing could prepare me for what was to come. I was first told I would be put on the Overnight Shift (never went through a training either for being an Assistant) and that it would only last 6 months. It ended up lasting a year before getting transferred and told I would have to do another year. Good things: -Good starting pay without experience or training -Potential to move up and around (but you must be willing to relocate) -When the sales/profit are up, huge cash bonuses.
Cons
Downsides: (each store is different) -Overnights could be the death of your career if you get stuck on it. -Not enough help and always pressuring you to do more with less every day -Frequently changes and hard to keep up to date with who wants what. Market vs Corporate always a factor.
