Great place to work, unless...

Pros

Work-life balance, flexible work environment, lots of opportunities to advance if you're a non-person of color.

Cons

Little to no people of color in leadership roles and no real strategy to improve D&I. If you're a POC (person of color), be prepared to be overlooked for promotions/advancement opportunities in favor of non-POC teammates.

Pros

*Option to buy stock + employer contribution

Cons

*Politics at its best *Prepared to be slaved *No such thing as unlimited PTO (way for Walmart to save money) *Chances of moving to different teams is virtually impossible unless you've been with the company a min of a year and must either be strategic about your move. Only other way to leave the team is if the manager does not like you.

Don’t believe the narrative on social media

Pros

Vast career options from store operations, logistics, merchandising, marketing, administration, international and more.

Cons

Relies on consultants to think and associates to do (Shouldn’t the opposite be true?). Poor executive leadership and management that relies on authority from top down for execution. Support areas such as HR and Legal have too much authority and do not serve the best interest of the associate or the customer. Takes a defensive position on litigation risk adding more bureaucracy than necessary. Fear and insecurity are at every turn, resulting in an every-man/woman-for-him/herself. The narrative on social media suggest that the company is thriving. Don’t believe everything you read. What is posted is often an attempt to counter-balance the toxic working conditions or is someone merely trying to impress their boss or to get off the bottom 10% list.
