Pros

You get to see alot of people and see new products as they become available. You get to know alot of people and they train you and make sure you know the policies and procedures. They make sure you have breaks and a nice break room.

Cons

Not enough money for the work required and the stress of dealing with the public. You are on your feet alot. Management treat you like you are not that important to them. Sometimes you have to work longer than you planned if someone does not show up for work. Sometimes customers are not very nice.

Pros

Diverse career opportunities within W-M, stable employment, solid benefits, great opportunities for personal development, terrific location (Northwest Arkansas), positive company culture and values, diverse workforce. Living in Northwest Arkansas is terrific if you are not addicted to urban life. Reasonable shopping and education options and great rural lifestyle opportunities, especially if you enjoy outdoor activities, nature and college sports. Challenging job opportunities as long as you have your manager's support.

Cons

Large bureaucracy can sometimes be frustrating, information not always shared freely enough, politics at officer and senior management level can be counterproductive, frequently too much competition as opposed to collaboration internally.

Pros

It's a small town, and there are not many other places to work there. It's a college town, and most of the "good" jobs are taken by people who stay throughout the school year.

Cons

Wal-Mart does not provide any benefits for their part-time employees, and they do not allow most people to work full-time. It's a catch-22. Also, they pay the lowest amount possible for whatever the local market will bear. In other words, whatever McDonald's pays their part-time employees, Wal-Mart pays the same amount. Basically, it's minimum wage for the local market, but they are usually hiring because people are always looking for a better (less abusive) job somewhere else.
