Pros

Decent pay (for retail), easy job, the majority of the time working with customers is satisfying, works well with your availability, and big enough that if for some reason you need a day off at the last minute there is always someone willing to switch schedules with you.

Cons

Not enough staff to do a decent job at given tasks. Management is hit or miss, some managers treat their employees like robots while others do a great job.

Pros

MOST customers and fellow Associates make Wal-Mart an interesting place to work.

Cons

Management doesn't care about anything but their bonuses. Regional management? What do they do anyway...? Customers come to Photo Lab looking for help in other departments...we have to call Extention 129 to get management to respond to customers needs. CSMs are hard to get for change or customer service needs. Scheduling is a joke...too many Associates on light days and nights...never enough to cover on heavy days... Turnover is epidemic...Rumor is that our state considers Wal-Mart to be a "hostile work environment"

Pros

10% discount card helps a little.

Cons

Job promotions pay and everything concerning employee benefits are not very good with Wal-Mart. It appears that if the employee is in the right click within the store, then that employee may be promoted. If the store manager does not want an employee advanced, then that employee will not be advance within that store, no matter how good that employee may be.
