Pros

I would have to say as a student/employee, the best thing is the flexibility in your schedule. They work with you very well when it comes to putting education first.

Cons

Pay is not great. For some it's not worth the amount of work you have to do. I've learned a lot about running a store and feel very under appreciated. Managers have no clue. period just no clue. I really think Sam Walton would have fired over half the managers if he was still alive due to major case of head in butt.

Pros

It's good money, the sunday premium is an extra dollar an hour, laid back atmosphere, good way to meet and see a LOT of people.

Cons

very competitive...all of the older people are kissing butt to management to get ahead. Can be a little irritating. The ten percent discount is a joke and it takes 90 days before you even get it. Very little training when you first start...you WILL feel like a fish out of water and some days I was left for dead to open and close my department (electronics) during my first week. I was expected to answer questions by myself when I lterally didn't know anything about procedure.

Pros

Working at walmart was good because I had a lot of freedom. I didnt have anyone over my shoulder my whole shift telling me what to do. They also don't put a lot of pressure on you to open walmart credit cards like most other retail stores do.

Cons

There was no flexibility in my schedule. If i wanted to cut my hours down they would freak out. I was working 32 hours per week and trying to attend school full time and they didn't have any sympathy.
