Pros

Working in the Vision Center inside WalMart is more enjoyable and flexible than being a salesfloor employee; there is more room for professional education and advancement. I've worked inside the vision center for over 4 years, and have since acquired my ABO, NCLE and State Board certificates.

Cons

My department manager, who I work with on a daily basis, is the best boss I have ever had, however the upper management of Wal-Mart like to think they can get a good result from being pushy and domineering. A lot of good workers have been fired under this management for reasons as petty as leaving a key in a door, and taking a genuine sick day. Their tactics are entirely fear-based.

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.
