Pros

The warehouse size 1.2 mil sq ft, 25 miles of conveyor belt in building. How everything and everyone work together to achieve a goal of getting goods to the customer is truly amazing. Work with some great people. The pay and benefits are very good. I don't mind the work itself, but the pressure of making production makes all the difference.

Cons

Some of the leadership is very good. Some of it is in not keeping with the company's 3 basic beliefs: Respect for the Individual • Service to our Customers • Striving for Excellence. The company increase production rates every year, increasing the already high amount of stress in the warehouse. They push the employees beyond what is reasonable. As a result, often times, employees cut corners to achieve production goals, compromising safety and product integrity, which in turn lowers morale. People are exhausted. They chug energy drinks and energy pills like they were water and candy, which compromises their endocrine systems and causes further exhaustion.

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.
