Pros

All stores are supposed to put respect for the individual as a top priority. There may be stores with less than competent management, but the one I work at really shows me that they are glad to have me be a part of their team.

Cons

The pay could be a higher, but then again, I just recently started and I'm making more than I thought I would because everyone says walmart pays bad. Honestly, I'm now earning about 4 dollars higher than minimum wage. Yeah we would all like to earn more and it would be nice, but I know that in 3 months working at Walmart, I was earning a higher hourly rate than my friend who had been at Kmart for over a year. So the so-called "bad" pay could just be part of the economy

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.
