Pros

Perks Goodies Timely pay Fancy looking office

Cons

I worked as a front end developer for close to 2 years and realized 1. Bootlicking makes you a better person in the team. 2. Create more confluence pages and work less on coding. 3. The manager is always right - even if it's means 1+=3. 4. The environment is toxic and the manager is the one poisoning the team. 5. North Indians Vs South Indian racism prevails. 6. Developers lack basic knowledge on coding but are involved in discussions on architecture lol 7. Managers are from service background with zero experience in a product based company. 8. They are recruited solely based on Women in Tech quota. 9. Managers lack basic communication skills. 10. Managers are bootlickers to the peers in the USA and bow down to any requirement thrown at them. 11. Zero compassion towards the team esp wrt working hours.

Pros

Keeps you busy so the day goes by faster. Can offer some physical exorcise while unloading trucks, and more depending on what department you stock.

Cons

Getting everything assigned out and stocked can sometimes be difficult if they pull you to another department to help there temporarily. Customers will likely take up a quarter of your time as well. The manager over you will likely complain if you don't get everything stocked, regardless if you were pulled away from your department. I've stayed hours over my shift just to finish many times so I wouldn't have to listen to it.

Pros

I'm a EXPERIENCED WORKER. I ✨️ don't have to be told what to do in my area. So management leaves me alone. The pro of this job is that they BELIEVE IN ME.

Cons

In my opinion I believe that Walmart should go back to DEPT. MANAGERS. Because Lead positions tend to stand around and not show by example 🙄! I have been in sales all of my life. MY COMPANY 💖 needs to go back too Merit raises. MY COMPANY 💖 gave lazy workers the same pay almost too my pay. THAT'S NOT RIGHT 😕 OR FARE! Merit raises makes your employees 🙄 work FOR THE COMPANY HARDER 🙄 👏. St.#0551 my name is Laura Holland and I am a very exceptional worker in my opinion. I have always loved my job 💓. Be more like PUBLIX 👍 and exceptional worker's will be there for the company.
