Pros

Really easy don't have any worries outside work. Hang out all day and help customers. Not alot of pressure involved.

Cons

management was over worked. Understaffed most of the time. Only care about making money not about the individual. Hard to move up.

Pros

Great opportunity for meeting new people and learning new things about the department you are in. Fast paced environment makes days go by very quickly.

Cons

Micromanagement at its finest. You can't make a decision without fear of getting yelled at by multiple managers. If you have an issue don't even think about using the open door policy. Wal-mart's answer to open door is "ignore the problem until it goes away or takes care of itself." Don't even try to move up. Unless you have someone pulling for you, you will not make it, period. Favoritism is rampant. Hours "automatically generated" by the computer. If you don't have completely open availability, you will get your hours cut to near nothing (try 4-6 hours in a pay period), yet open availability means swing shifts all week, and no promise of 30-40 hours.

Pros

Interning at Wal-Mart has given me a great chance to gain leadership skills while still in school. It's a good place to start and gain experience and professional direction.

Cons

Communications is lacking about location and salary benefits of going full time. That's really the only communication problem though .
