Pros

There is a lot of opportunity for advancement, meaning that there is a lot of different jobs within the company, something for everyone.

Cons

Management team is very disorganized at all levels of the company. In addition, the associates that have worked for Wal-Mart for 10+ years seem to be able to get away with doing less that the newer associates. I don't know whether that is common throughout the company. In addition, gays and lesbians in our store are not treated fairly and have been forced to leave most often leaving the company to work elsewhere.

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.
