Pros

Walmart has become so far away from what Sam Walton had intended it should change its name. They play favorites, unethical, and try to use anything they can against the associates when it suites them.

Cons

unethical...favorites....poor management....unreal expectations....over complicating everything. If Walmart would just adhere to th beliefs Sam Walton set forth the company would be in good shape.

Pros

It's a job. It gives you a working environment to work with a lot of interesting people as well as mingle with customers. Advancement is there if you really want it.

Cons

With the current economy Walmart is overloading its associates with double workload and as people would leave or move to another store many will not be replaced. Walmart corporate does not care how shorthanded you are, they just expect for the job to get done. Sometimes by cutting corners at the expence of health and safety of its associates and customers.

Pros

If you are looking at financial rewards, this is the place to be.

Cons

politics, brown-nosing, long hours, mistrust for some upper management, too much change too fast, constant threats of coachings (reprimands), inconsistent and unclear direction given often, next level of management seems only to care about their own well being. Company is clearly managing by intimidation these days.
