Pros

Use as stepping stone to get a real job. they offer rotten benefits, make you work through breaks, tell you to do your traing at home on your days off, treat incompetent upper mgmt like royalty, don't know the meaning of workng smart- create endless nonsensical reports, and waste time on conferernce calls.

Cons

24/7 work, no respect of life-work balance. Expected to work off hours at home. out of date technology, they literally won't even put paper in the copy machine, give you no training, expect you to buy your own equipment, no respect, dishonest in pre-employmnet interviews, evasive when asked about expected work hours

Pros

This role itself is one of the easiest jobs you can have — the work isn’t difficult. However, the way the company operates makes it unnecessarily convoluted and frustrating. It feels more like working for a call center than directly for Walmart. There is absolutely no Walmart culture here, just micromanagement, office politics, and favoritism. Your breaks, log-ins, and even the exact time you get into or out of the cab are all monitored and tied to your scorecard metrics. Even missing a break by a second can drop your score and land you in a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), which essentially means you’re on the fast track to being fired. This is a hire-and-fire culture — every week people are hired and every week people are fired. Nobody survives PIP. Management fabricates evidence by cherry-picking tickets where mistakes were made, even if overall performance is good, just to justify putting someone into PIP. It’s clear they don’t want employees questioning how or why things are done. Those who speak up or suggest improvements are swiftly targeted and removed. There is zero work-life balance. You’re expected to work solid 9-hour shifts with no breaks or personal time, despite having engagement rooms and other facilities you’re never allowed to use. You can’t even listen to music to make the day bearable — headphones aren’t allowed. There’s no personal or medical auxiliary time, so even if you’re unwell, you have no way to take a proper break without approval. The micromanagement extends to ridiculous levels, with TLs, leads, and managers colluding to maintain control and protect their own interests. It feels like a closed family where only those “in the know” get ahead while others suffer. The company also fires top earners and rehires replacements at much lower salaries as a cost-cutting strategy, which adds to the toxic environment.

Cons

Any small perks like free food or cabs are completely overshadowed by the daily stress, micromanagement, and unfair treatment you face here.

Pros

Compensation and other benefits are very good Great HR policies to benefit employees

Cons

If you are looking for quality engineering work do not join the EBS team. The head of EBS does not have an engineering mindset and highly political which has resulted in good engineers and leaders leave the team. The place is filled with politics in which any good engineer cannot sustain. One of the good engineering leaders who was managing a large team left and is not managed by some one who does not have basic engineering knowledge and is tractional. There is no respect for employees and there is fear. There are other better engineering team in Walmart where you can join.
