Just because you've always done it that way does not mean its best for all.

Pros

Wal-Mart as a company is a solid growing company. The founders values (three basic beliefs) of the company are tools to live and work by. The company does provide services and products that allow Americans to live better financially.

Cons

Negative media PR. Diversity goal imbalances, geared more towards senior management meeting there compliance goals over the "best quailfied individual" for the position. "Cookie cutter" mentality, always thinking that what works best in one part of the buiness works well for all. Large size, can be a negative, people become hard to see... can't see fruit bearing trees because of the massive forest"

Pros

Wal-Mart keeps me humble, very humble. Everyone should work somewhere like Wal-Mart for a while, to learn for themselves the importance of pensions, decent pay, regular hours, labor unions, and self respect. When you've worked for Wal-Mart, you will appreciate a decent job if you find one.

Cons

You name it. It truly feels like legalized slavery most of the time. It is a symbol for the pitfalls of capitalism. Scientific Management Calculated Shorthandedness Management Intimidation High Turnover Low Employee Morale Lack of Professionalism in Management

Pros

Better than unemployment, better than fast food. But not by much. It pays fair to well, and in theory you could advance. But I haven't seen it happen yet. It pays the bills, if you don't live a life of luxury. Management can be a hassle. They are a different class of creature.

Cons

A dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job is a dead end job.
