Pros

Good vacation package for long term associates. Comparable pay. Promotes from inside company. Decent associate discount incentive. College Scholarship programs available for associates high school seniors.

Cons

The store was only closed on Christmas Day. Even though there are several paid vacation days associates are eligible for, associates rarely are off on the actual holiday. Salaried managers work long hours and it is difficult to strike a work/home balance

Pros

Hmmm-very few pros. A place to work until you can find something better. NW Arkansas is semi pretty.

Cons

1) The David Glass Technology center is massive with 2 bathrooms on each floor which always stinks. Each Bathroom is so large because there are so few of them, they constantly are full of defecating employees. Exiting the bathroom is a breath of fresh air. 2) Low pay 3) 40 year old technology. Straight "C" a dn COBOL.. 4) The stupid Walmart Cheers at every meeting. 5) Politics and back biting. 6) Poor management. 7) They don't care about changing. Walmart is so big they don't have to. 8) You will quickly lose your programming skills as most work is just very small bug fixes on existing software in the "C" language.
