Pros

The pay is not bad and employee discounts.

Cons

Management (too many cooks in the kitchen), They do not keep to thier word, they demand you work overtime and then tell you to cut your hours to compensate for it yet still want you to get the same work load accomplished, Time off when needed is non-existant if you have to take a day off because of illness you get an unexcused absence and with 3 of them you could be fired.

Fun place to work however hard place to grow

Pros

Overall this is a fun place to work and the people are great. This is the big reason that keeps me here. Below are some good points: The people you work with are great and always willing to help or teach you. Walmart.com allows a good balance between work and home life. A shuttle program is now available to pick up fairly close to home and take you to and from work. A new Gym for employees is now available. While working here you have the opportunity to learn so much about the business which includes working with the Ark Home office.

Cons

No career path from most positions so you need to create or ask for what other opportunities are available. Structure is always changing which leads to you having many managers in one year. Constantly dealing with issues that from some departments deem critical however not enough research is done from the folks screaming however other departments have to scramble to answer their questions. This is not very productive as it seems to always pull you away from what you wanted to accomplish that day. I think it’s great that there is plenty of work to do here however with your calendar booked all the time for meetings you find yourself working late every evening to keep up with the workload.
