Pros

Good pay, great place to work while in college with potential to go to the home office or join the management team. The profit sharing bonus plan is a great way to get extra money each quarter, provided the store is performing well.

Cons

A few managers are really not qualified to be managers. Raises are only given once per year along with yearly evaluations. So if you are a hard worker giving 120%, you will get a raise when the guy next to you gives 20% and also gets a raise. Some stores hire the least amount of people as possible, which puts added pressure on the associates that they do hire. Overtime is a rarity.

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.
