Pros

Walmart does actually pay a fairly good wage, and after 6 months you get insurance. It isn't fantastic insurance, but it helps.

Cons

Walmart thinks of its employees as numbers, not people. There is little personal recognition, little respect for non-management employees, and much discrimination and thievery.

Pros

If you want experience in retail.

Cons

Walmart will hire about anybody, even if they can't speak english. To work alongside nonspeaking workers making the same low wage is'nt right., I feel that they are driving wages down, And the only people making a decent living are the executives. To many time clock discrepancies.

Pros

Usually pay more than other businesses, LOTS of co-workers, so finding new people to befriend is fairly easy. You'll ALWAYS have stories to tell when you come home.

Cons

New pay raise structuring means pay raises few and far between. LOTS of co-workers also means working with people you will hate and who want you to to their work. The stories you have to tell are 99% horrible and make you wish you could quit. Wal-Mart is NOT afraid to fire you for any reason, because there's always someone who can fill your position. They will suck you DRY and then grind your bones. The most fit person will waste away at Wal-Mart. Then they'll fire you for poor job performance and hire fresh meat. Wal-Mart is a company that, through its own structure, will make you hate your job quickly. No matter how much you may hate your current job, you WILL eventually hate Wal-Mart more. The heating and A/C system as well as the parking lot lights are controlled by central computers at WM HQ in Bentonville, Arkansas. If the lights fail to come on, management has to call Arkansas to get them turned on.
