      Wal-Mart is an OK place to work

      Pros

      Good pay (for a cashier) and co-workers. Good place to work while still in school. Study the the different branches, not all are equal to shop at, or work for. I worked at a good branch, but a few miles away was a branch people skipped over to get to ours.

      Cons

      Demanding customers, standing all shift, average retail worker complaints Can be under staffed (5-6 people doing work better suited to 10 or more, especially closing shift) seem to like scheduling employees to work closing (on shift till 10:30pm or 11pm) followed by opening (on shift starting at 7am)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Walmart has recently restructured the managemet schedules so that you pretty much know what your schedule will be throughout the year. Although your superior manager can change your schedule making you work whatever they want you to work. Work schedule for day management is 3 days on 3 days off 8am-8pm daily. Overnight shift i 4 on and 4 off 8pm-8am.

      Cons

      Schedule can be changed whenever regardless Over the years walmarts focus has turned from customer and associates to just making a quick buck. Pay is not competitive to other assistant manager positions I have seen, when you are managing a store 4 times the size

      Pros

      - Great resume builder. Other companies love to see Wal-Mart on a resume. - exposure to different technologies - able to move around laterally every 2 years - peer review process within evaluation system - If you are identified as a "fast track" individual then you will be advanced at a blinding speed.

      Cons

      - Wal-Mart ISD is based on metrics. The sooner you figure out what you're being graded on, the sooner you'll advance. - You are a number at ISD. Do not ask for special consideration. Work-life balance is based on numbers, not the needs of the individual. - Directors-level and above managers tend to stagnate in a role and create a feifdom, even turning down promotions to stay comfortable. - Certain groups get more consideration for advancement than the norm. This appears to be done without consideration to their fit within the role or the team.
