      Pros

      fun atmosphere, great customer interaction, management laid back

      Cons

      took away insurance benefits for people under 30 yrs old, used to promote from within and now hire from outside which in my store didn't work out well at all because they weren't used to the "company culture", early morning shifts or late nights (my stores first shift was 5am and latest ended at midnight), managers are undereducated and overpaid which resulted in a lot of laziness and lack of direction, my stores management also treated its employees biasly

      Meh.

      Pros

      The majority of the co-workers, the hourly wage (considering that as a crew member you are a part-time employee), the 10% discount the company offers you for being an employee.

      Cons

      Highly physical and repetitive type of work (e.g. working up to 5 hours at the checkout, lifting goods that can weight in the excess of 50 pounds, bending in awkward ways to be able to stock shelves, working in the milk box which is set at a very low temperature), lacks creativity (unless you happen to be the sign artist), hard work is often overlooked and not kept in consideration by management, dealing with rude and pretentious customers on a daily basis, managers that are not qualified to manage.

      Pros

      Opportunity to help people. The customers are very appreciative for the most part and are totally in love with the store and the products.

      Cons

      It used to be a great place to work but the company has changed a great deal. They are cutting hours and hiring a ton more people. The more people they hire the more hours they cut from crew members that have been there for a long time. The atmosphere has completely changed. Employees used to be happy and now everyone is on edge and miserable. (that is except for the new hires who do not know what it was like in the past) They have entered the Walmart mentality. Expect to hurt!! Your body will take a major beating!!! They do not guarantee hours so expect to be on edge every week waiting to see if you will be able to cover your bills.
