Pros

Wal-Mart keeps me humble, very humble. Everyone should work somewhere like Wal-Mart for a while, to learn for themselves the importance of pensions, decent pay, regular hours, labor unions, and self respect. When you've worked for Wal-Mart, you will appreciate a decent job if you find one.

Cons

You name it. It truly feels like legalized slavery most of the time. It is a symbol for the pitfalls of capitalism. Scientific Management Calculated Shorthandedness Management Intimidation High Turnover Low Employee Morale Lack of Professionalism in Management

Pros

Better than unemployment, better than fast food. But not by much. It pays fair to well, and in theory you could advance. But I haven't seen it happen yet. It pays the bills, if you don't live a life of luxury. Management can be a hassle. They are a different class of creature.

Cons

A dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job.
