Pros

Wal-Mart keeps me humble, very humble. Everyone should work somewhere like Wal-Mart for a while, to learn for themselves the importance of pensions, decent pay, regular hours, labor unions, and self respect. When you've worked for Wal-Mart, you will appreciate a decent job if you find one.

Cons

You name it. It truly feels like legalized slavery most of the time. It is a symbol for the pitfalls of capitalism. Scientific Management Calculated Shorthandedness Management Intimidation High Turnover Low Employee Morale Lack of Professionalism in Management

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.
