Business outlook
Pros
The work life balance at Wal-Mart and general understanding of management is very good. You will rarely encounter better situations in terms of being given time off to take care of personal matters, vacations, etc. Management is also very respectful towards employees and vice versa, there is a strong culture of mutual respect in the organization and anything else is generally not tolerated. A culture of quality work is also generally present and to get the right job done. Overally the company is a fair place to work for where if you are aggressive you have lots of opportunity to learn and grow in many positions in the company HQ.
Cons
Not aggressive Geographically undesireable location for young people Not well educated
