Pros

Were willing to hire me, a college student, just for the summer and later, allowed me to work over my Christmas vacation. Most other places scoffed at hiring someone who would only be living in the area for three months.

Cons

Low pay--above minimum wage, but still low. The manager who was to conduct my review delayed it several weeks because she was "so busy" which delayed my getting a 25 cent raise.

Pros

The company is committed to personal and professional development, sustainability, and philanthropic efforts. There is a genuine interest in treating people fairly and with respect.

Cons

Benefits package is very mixed, and the location is a little out of the way. It's a fiscally responsible company, which has huge upsides in this economy, but it's not a typical .com

Wal-Mart is an OK place to work

Pros

Good pay (for a cashier) and co-workers. Good place to work while still in school. Study the the different branches, not all are equal to shop at, or work for. I worked at a good branch, but a few miles away was a branch people skipped over to get to ours.

Cons

Demanding customers, standing all shift, average retail worker complaints Can be under staffed (5-6 people doing work better suited to 10 or more, especially closing shift) seem to like scheduling employees to work closing (on shift till 10:30pm or 11pm) followed by opening (on shift starting at 7am)
