Pros

-Fair pay and overall compensation package -Good benefits -stakeholders that I interacted with outside of Marketing were kind, very helpful and awesome to work with

Cons

-Colleagues will throw you under the bus. Lack of accountability in chaotic campaign planning process, constantly providing you contradictory information and when the contradiction is pointed out, they blame you for not having everything together. Then later, when it's been proven that they were providing incorrect information the whole time, no apologies or accountability is taken and other teams/you are blamed instead. -Social, digital AND remarketing were previously under 1 single role which is absolutely impossible under 1 person to manage. They have since broken up the role into multiple -Direct teammates were not supportive and out to get each other. Multiple occasions where the incorrect file was sent to me 4+ times despite requesting for the correct file multiple times. Once leadership asked for the file suddenly there is no problem in sending the correct file. There were many other situations where colleagues will purposefully tell you incorrect information to send you on a wild goose hunt to sabotage you. Ultimately when leadership asks the team for this information, people will step up with the correct information making themselves look helpful and useful when they were misleading you in the first place -Zero work life balance. Marketing department is constantly working until 9-10pm every single day, even parents of young children. During black Friday, you have to work until 4am in the morning daily

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

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.
