Pros

Flexible scheduling, ability to transfer internally to avoid boredom/burnout, decent pay for a college job, possibility for promotion to management team in relatively short amount of time (may not always be a good thing though)

Cons

Incompetent, uncaring management team, creation of Zone Manager positions only encourages the laziness of the Assistant Managers, policies handed down from District or Home Office don't always make sense or translate the same way for every store in the country, more emphasis on the bottom line than thinking problems through and doing what should be done, management team is hypocritical when it comes to implementing new policies

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
