Pros

Wal Mart is one of the companies that have been successful through the economic crisis. Their stock price has held its ground against similar companies such as Target, which actually lost 30% of value. Walmart provides an employee discount of 10% which can add up over a year.

Cons

Wal-Mart does so much business that I do not feel like I get to know my patients like I have in lower volume stores. As in any pharmacy, it is especially important for the tech help to show up at work promptly at Wal-Mart. It can be crippling if techs are late.

Pros

If you need a job Wal-Mart is normally always hiring.

Cons

WalMart does not believe in training. No matter your pay grade. My training came from asking others and messing up. Also just because your hired on doesn't mean your going to be working. People with full time are getting 30hrs a week. Part timers are getting 10 hours a week. But the work load is the same throughout the store. If you can't get the same amount of the job done despite half the work force not getting to come in then you'll just be coached for job performance. Its happen to me twice. Both written and verbal. Its why I dropped my management position and went back to a sales associate. $8.45 a hour wasn't worth trying to do 3 other people's labor, get my butt chewed all the time, and come home just ready to fall asleep and not wake up.
