Pros

Good pay (for a cashier) and co-workers. Good place to work while still in school. Study the the different branches, not all are equal to shop at, or work for. I worked at a good branch, but a few miles away was a branch people skipped over to get to ours.

Cons

Demanding customers, standing all shift, average retail worker complaints Can be under staffed (5-6 people doing work better suited to 10 or more, especially closing shift) seem to like scheduling employees to work closing (on shift till 10:30pm or 11pm) followed by opening (on shift starting at 7am)

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.
