Pros

The people you work with is what makes the job most desirable. You always have plenty of work to keep you busy. Our associate discount center allows us discounts to thousands of events, hotels, attractions, etc.

Cons

Hours continue to be cut, never allowed overtime, lack of associates. You feel like you are drowning in your work because there is never enough help. Store management understands there is not enough help, however, there is nothing they can do about it because it all comes down from corporate. Customers are frustrated because there are always long lines to wait in. A lot of times, our store will have one person working 3 departments by themselves. It is very frustrating, and part of the reason we cannot keep help anymore.

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.
