You quit your old job...FOR THIS!!!

Department manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Very strong and stabile company with many opportunites due to the expansion of stores into every major market in the country. Depending on your level of education and how much time and effort you are willing to put forward, you could move up in the company much quicker than at other employers.

Cons

Assistant Managers are severely under qualified in many areas due to explosive growth and a desperate need to fill these positions in new stores, with ANYONE they can find. After 6 years with the company, I see things getting progressively worse every year, they have continued cutting wherever they can just to save pennies and most of the time the employees are the ones that suffer.

Wal-Mart is great for those able to adapt to constant change; if not, find a different industry to work in!

Pros

Job security and career advancement are two of the top reasons although their are many others that aren't truly realized until you are a part of the Wal-Mart family. It's important to realize that Wal-Mart is really no different than any other retailer when it comes to stress and wages. Each Wal-Mart store is its own family and, as in life, some families are dysfunctional while others grow together; this is why it's also important not to point a finger at Wal-Mart as a company when a specific store is having problems. Overall, Wal-Mart is a great company to work for! By the way, it's also worth noting that Wal-Mart associates receive quarterly cash bonuses of up to $450.

Cons

Stress and poor communication that leads to additional stress! It's honestly difficult to think of a true downside that is exclusive to being with Wal-Mart. I guess the only thing is the inability for many of the long term associates to adapt to changes currently underway at Wal-Mart. Again, though, this is not a problem exclusive to Wal-Mart, all retail chains must change to adapt to changing times in the industry. It's the companies like Circuit City that fail to implement change year after year that are destined to fail. I feel more secure working for a company that is always changing than for one that continues to do the same thing year after year!

Walmart needs to improve

Cashier

Business Outlook

Pros

It's good for a first job. There are good compensations for holiday and sick days. The atmosphere is friendly, and there are chances to change positions very easily. The other cashiers are helpful to new associates such as myself. The training is very comprehensive.

Cons

You are on your feet sometimes for 6 1/2 hours straight if you work on cash even though there is a guarantee that you will be able to have a break after 5 hours. There are some very rude CSM's.
