Pros

Ability to meet interesting and fun people. Walmart is somewhere that you will find something you like to do. However, depending on where you are and what education you have will make the way that you transition into another role. If you are a hard worker you will quickly rise through the in store ranks. It would be hard to grow into a senior level position from working on the floor however. All in all a good place to work if you are looking for an entry job with no education. Go for it is all I say! Good Luck!

Cons

The pay is not strong for this company and employees are often looked down upon by their peers in other companies. The hours are sometimes oddly placed and it is harder to ask off for vacations and other reasons than at other companies. You would also like to grow but it is often hard for those without education, even with many years of dedication to working at walmart. I would still recommend it as a place to pursue a job... not necessairly a career however. Go for it and do your best in any job and rewards will find you!

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.
