      Wal-Mart gets a lot of undeserved negative press, it really is not that bad.

      Pros

      The pay (for no college degree or experience) and hours that fit my schedule. Job security, even in a bad economy they do well.

      Cons

      Although good pay for someone in their 20s in college, not so great compared to the 50-60k jobs college grads get. It is a big corporation and thus has the usual non sense such as lack of communication between those who make the rules and those who have to follow the rules.

      Pros

      The pay is typically good, benefits package meets industry standard. Grab the money, pay off your school loans, then get a real pharmacy job.

      Cons

      Ccommunication stucture itself adequate, but, no input or discussion allowed, often extremely short notice. Lack of understanding of pharmacy department, including regulatory matters, by local store management. You will not be allowed any original ideas, or time to implement anything in the community. Overall lack of respect.

      There are both pros and cons to working for Wal-Mart.

      Pros

      The insurance is good. I know I make more money than some of my peers. I feel like its job security because so many people shop there. No matter how bad the economy gets, consumers are still going to need to buy groceries so I also feel like its a good choice to stay stable in uncertain times.

      Cons

      Wal-Mart's attendance policy leaves things to be desired. I understand that people shouldn't call in all the time. But I totally disagree with giving someone an unexused absense when they have a doctor's note to prove that they or a family member were actually ill. I have a write up on my record that i was given for missing a total of six days in a twelve month period. Only one of those absenses did not include a doctor's note. Actually the one day I missed that I didn't go to the doctor was due to a sunburn I recieved while I was working on a charity project for guess who...Wal-Mart!
