Pros

Wal-Mart is a company that has had to change with the evolving demands of its employees, as well as its customer base and shareholders. In the seven years that I have worked for the company, Wal-Mart has attempted to balance the demands of all three. The number one reason to work for this company is the company's belief in "respect for the individual". Over the years the emphasis on this belief has increased greatly. Wal-Mart is the kind of company that really makes an attempt to please their associates.

Cons

There are times when ill tempered customers have an emotional impact. The key is to remember the positive customer experiences.

Pros

Ability to meet interesting and fun people. Walmart is somewhere that you will find something you like to do. However, depending on where you are and what education you have will make the way that you transition into another role. If you are a hard worker you will quickly rise through the in store ranks. It would be hard to grow into a senior level position from working on the floor however. All in all a good place to work if you are looking for an entry job with no education. Go for it is all I say! Good Luck!

Cons

The pay is not strong for this company and employees are often looked down upon by their peers in other companies. The hours are sometimes oddly placed and it is harder to ask off for vacations and other reasons than at other companies. You would also like to grow but it is often hard for those without education, even with many years of dedication to working at walmart. I would still recommend it as a place to pursue a job... not necessairly a career however. Go for it and do your best in any job and rewards will find you!

Pros

Reccession proof company. With so many stores chances of getting promoted are good. Many positions throughout a store. 10 percent off regularly priced general merchandise in Wal-Mart. Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan.

Cons

Poor wages. Some stores have horrible management. Retirement package is not that great. Same with medical benifets. Management does not take care of the employees.
