Pros

It's really easy to get hired, work is easy. the people I met were very nice, friendly people, outside of the management.

Cons

Work is very mindless, management is very impersonal and cold hearted. If I wanted to take a day out of work, there was a pretty high chance I would be fired. There was a high turnover, so the management really didn't care who was puching the carriages or checking out customers, as long as they were making some money.

Pros

Good place to work for people that are just starting out or just out of college and looking for management experience. good benefits. good family atmosphere customers are so so. wal mart has a good discount on goods. i think that

Cons

working at wal mat is only bad. the pay is not done by performance but by how much butt kissing that you can do. management just cares about the numbers and the profit and not about saving money. managment is not par of the wal mart family

Pros

Wal-Mart has great benefits. 401K to invest in along with other stock options. Paid vacations. Paid vacation is determined by how many hours you work. Very good about letting you have time off except on holidays. Some of the associates you work with are very friendly. Some are very committed to fast and friendly customer service. If its a product in the store management or an associate will be more than happy to look it up. They celebrate associates birthday and accident free work days by having parties or cook-out. Wal-mart has fashion shows with associates to model in them and certian times they do weddings if you're getting married.3302

Cons

No room to move up in other positions. They allow people who have been there a shorter amount of time to fill those positions.They hire too many people and don't have the hours to give to the associates who have been there longer. Wal-mart will require you to work in other departments but your pay is not the same as the other employees. Certian members of management believe in working every holiday. So watch out! There is a six month waiting period before you are able to move up anywhere else. Wal-mart does not pay overtime for extra hours worked/.
