Pros

Good raises 3 days on and 3 days off for assistant managers and shift (co) managers. Amazing opportunity for advancement through hard work and consistent effort! Very reasonably priced health care. Very tolerant policies for self and family FMLA.

Cons

Customers who think that we will accept anything they want to return just because they yell and cuss even when policy dictates differently. Long hours when you're salaried and events are happening like annual inventory. 12 hour shifts can be a con but is not so bad when you get 3 days off in a row.

Pros

I enjoyed working for them because they have good company values. Managers were rewarded during the year based on the store performance.

Cons

Must become an walmart employee for more than five years to be considered for a manager position. There is growth potential but it will take a while before your performance is recognized.

Pros

- if full time, get benefits for health eye and dental I believe - encourage people to apply for higher up positions - if you have been working there for a couple fo years, its almost impossible for them to kick the employee out no matter how rude

Cons

- cutting down hours and shrinking personel in departments to meet budgets = more work - no proper training provided, sort of throw you in the job and expect you to learn - usually hire people in desperation and/or immigrants who do not complain about the workload - managers are not very nice
