Pros

-More work than workers means you can rise quickly -Good pay for Bay Area -10% discount on Walmart.com stuff (except grocery) -Decent learning if you're entry-level

Cons

-Massive politics between Stores and Online - territorialism, shameless idea stealing, and constant upward management of c-suite results in lots juggling between VPs over projects -Stores slower growth, culture, and mature business bureaucracy hamper many ecomm initiatives (e.g. "some stores executives still don't think this 'ecommerce thing' is real") -No free food except fruit and coffee -

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.
