      Pros

      Wal-Mart paid a reasonable wage for a part time basically unskilled job. I was attending school while I was working there and they were quite accomodating of my schedule and giving me a balance between work and school.

      Cons

      Any customer who sees you will ask you questions regardless of which department you work in. This is because the employees in many departments spend very little time there. Also, management attempts to build enthusiasm and excitement for working there but this comes across as brainwashing. There are very few opportunities for advancement and training was fairly deficient.

      You just applied for a job at Wal-Mart. How's it feel to have hit rock bottom?

      Pros

      Job security. You KNOW Wal-Mart is going to be there next month, next year, ten years from now... Lets face it, it would nearly take a global cataclysm to take them down. Also, you pretty much have to TRY to get fired. You can be a totally incompetant moron, and your job is still safe. They are always hiring because employee turnover is huge, so getting on should be easy.

      Cons

      Anymore, if you have a pulse and can show up to the inverview.... you're hired. This means you will be working with a very random cross section of the population. You don't even need to be able to speak English. Who cares if you cant understand the instructions being given to you, as long as there is a body in the department. Respect for their workers is virtually non-existant as well.

      Great Place to Work

      Pros

      Management is always helpful when it comes to their associates. I loved their Open Door policy to where anything you said to them was confidential and couldn't be told to anyone else. They also had a lot of other employee help programs to help during hard economic times. Wal-Mart cares about their associates. If you enjoy interacting with people, both the mean and happy ones this is the place to work. Career advancements are always possible as job postings are normally regular. You simply just sign up within the HR department and if your manager sees you as a good fit your a shoe in for the job. What I also liked was when I was working their they did a study on what the base salaries were in competing stores. They raised my hourly rate based on that study.

      Cons

      When I worked with Wal-Mart the down side was the benefits package wasn't that good, and the people that came to Wal-Mart were usually down right mean and rude.
