Pros

At the time, had what was considered a higher than average pay ($15/hour). Opportunities for overtime during peak seasons Bonuses…..when you actually get them

Cons

Inconsistent hours, one week all accumulated was 18 hours We got a Walmart sweater instead of a bonus, despite hearing about record profits a few months back Don’t you dare squat for even a second if your legs hurt, even if you are waiting for your turn to do your part of the work. Management will be there to chastise you. Management doesn’t come down the line; they choose other same-level workers that “show leadership” to manage the lines. No pay raise, no other incentives; just management divvying out their job responsibilities Restricted bathroom breaks to lunchtime (which was only 30 minutes) despite break room and bathrooms being all the way on the other side of the massive building. One particular manager was rude and condescending; often tried to make employees feel stupid about things they weren’t even trained on. Reported by many and behavior didn’t change

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.
