Wal-Mart Management.

Wal-mart assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It will give you the ability to lead the highest volume store in the world and ability to manage 400-500 plus people. If you like leading, teaching, and training others to be successful this may be a good job for a single person. Wal-Mart is a very charitable company that gives you a sense of pride in taking part in.

Cons

Store Managers are always on the chopping block and will throw any one under the bus if they are incapable of running the store. You can end up working all kinds of shifts and 80 hours plus with no additional compensation for long periods of time. Poor Store Managers often over work and bend the schedules of strong Assistant Managers Instead of holding the bad performers accountable.

Not as bad as is sometimes said, but still quite bad.

Cashier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There really aren't any good reasons, other than the fact that it's fairly easy to get hired there when you need a part-time job in a pinch. Just don't expect to get full-time work.

Cons

It's nearly impossible to get a full-time position. Stores are frequently understaffed, communication is poor, both management and customers treat associates as if they weren't intelligent people. Benefits are too restricted to full-time employees considering that few people are made full-time. Hours are too inconsistent.

Wal-Mart, A great place to work, but....

Maintenance supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Your advancement in the job, the ability to transfer and learn other areas and to transfer to others sites around the world. The company is the largest employer and because of that you have many options open on transfers to other areas of the world. The growth potential is unsurpased.

Cons

Some of the rules and regulations. Your illiness protection pay and the "one day wait". You canot use your sick leave to go to the dentist or doctor. All your leave, except personal time can not be left from year to year.
