Pros

you have a job, If you are a guy/male, stay away from walmart. They will make you do all the heavy work, even going outside pulling carts, working the back room, will put you at the cash etc. As a department manager, I was given seasonal department and it totally sucked. The ladies get to do nothing basically, except for complaining, backstabbing. they were constantly paging males/department managers to go out and pull shopping carts inside. our work is never done on time and we get blamed. It not fair females get paid same amount, but do less work. Being the only guy in my department, I ended up lifting heavy stuffs, pushing flower-racks etc. Working with 2 collegues (Women) who had bad-back. I had total of 4 workers in my department, all of them were weak. The hiring manager, didnt care and I endeup picking the slack. My store saved money, by hiring less staffs. So you will endup doing all the work

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
