Pros

You will learn a lot working at Walmart. Things change fast and they are always looking to improve things. They don't skimp when it comes to making investments to improve producitivity by adding new hardware and software. One thing for certain, change is guaranteed. So if you don't like change, you will not like it there.

Cons

You work a lot of hours and very hard and often get little recognition for your hard work. The culture that Walmart refers to is primarly that of the hourly associate. Management culture is sometimes very destructive - dog eat dog. In general your base rate will not be near that in the industry. It was not uncommon for a direct report to make more than their boss.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
