Pros
Pay is similar to other similar stores. Management is mostly capable. Most of them do listen to suggestions, and are respectful to employees. Work shift time vary greatly. Will work with anyone's schedule. Breaks and lunches are appropriate. Does train employees, on hands, and on computers. Employees have technology to work with such as touch screen cash registers, and touch screen inventory guns. Their is a whole variety of jobs available, from cart pushers to professionals such as pharmacists. You can intern. Most customers are nice and polite. You can make a career of it. If you are full time and work well, you will advance quickly through the ranks. My own assistant manager is very capable. She keeps track of merchandise, and is on top of orders coming in, and things that need to be ordered. Knows work schedule of at least 60 by memory. She makes people work. Listens to suggestions on how to improve work environment, increase sales, and general attitude of employees. She is very respectful and fair. She gives very fair reviews, will help employees learn their tasks, if employees need something she cannot do, she will find somebody who knows.
Cons
Some managers are pompous, and do not deserve to be management. Some have little respect for employees. The general basis of costumers is low middle or poor class. Most customers are polite, but there are always the ones that make you want to slam your head in the floor. Some employees at Wal-Mart do not work well. They take too long breaks, too long lunches, do not work, or are rude to customers. Because Wal-Mart has a low class customer basis, working at Wal-Mart is just a little better than working McDonalds. Many people look down upon Walmart employees. Their are not enough workers in some departments. Many times we are out of merchandise.
