Pros

Fascinating company to work for - especially in an economic downturn. The company is well integrated with the Home Office in Bentonville, Arkansas. The company-sponsored shuttle is really fantastic and services many parts of the Bay Area.

Cons

There are minimal soft benefits, but the company is trying to add more. Health insurance is fine, but far from outstanding. The company gets a bad rap in the press regarding benefits -- they are available, but require a fairly significant monthly contribution if you want adequate coverage. Additionally, given size of organization, each person's range of responsibilities tends to be narrow. This is not unique to Walmart.com, but typical of any large company.

Pros

I began work with WalMart as a sales floor associate, and was quickly promoted. If you are a hard worker and dedicated to your job, it is very easy to move up with this company. Generally, management acts fairly towards associates - those who do a good job are usually recognized for it. I love working with our customers, and trying to help each one. WalMart is certainly not as bad as some would say, and there are some great people there.

Cons

Many customers are downright disrespectful - I've met many who seem to want something for nothing, and that can be annoying. Many of the people I've worked with are burnt-out, bored with their jobs, or never had any work ethic from the beginning - this is the single worst thing about Walmart. If you work in a department surrounded by good people who know their jobs, your job is easy. Otherwise, the associates who do know their jobs and do work hard are often required to pick up the slack for those who don't.

Pros

Walmart.com is at the cutting edge of online retail. It's a dynamic environment in which smart, intelligent people are excited about the work they do. Communication and information-sharing is very open, and people respect each other. I was also surprised by how diverse a community it is.

Cons

The only downside has been that the Benefits package, although adequate, isn't as good as it is at other companies in the Bay Area.
