Pros

great company with a great history. Stays on the cutting edge, decisive. Great technology tools.

Cons

increasingly unfavorable store environments. managers expected to deal with unsavory people selling CD's, perfumes, dvds, whatever in the parking lots. have to deal with people who threaten and initimidate to get what they want, etc. The customer demographic is rock bottom in too many cases, too many stores locations.

Pros

-Technology is better than most retail pharmacy chains, which makes the prescription process more efficient -Guaranteed lunch break for all pharmacists

Cons

-Wal-Mart has shifted to a heavy focus on volume, and pharmacists are constantly busy with checking -Technicians are often promoted from unrelated departments and have little to no pharmacy knowledge, with Wal-Mart not encouraging learning -Customer service is paid lip service, but not often practiced

Pros

Easy work. Clean environment. Comraderie amongst fellow associates.

Cons

Next to impossible to get full-time status. Too much work for one person to handle. If you work hard, you're expected to carry the slackers.
