Pros

Helping customers, good coworkers, benefits, little traveling, and associate discount (except groceries).

Cons

Benefit costs keep increasing while the benefits provided decrease. The company's new direction is making it difficult to meet community needs. Hours are cut more frequently in recent years while the work load and responsibilites increase. Pay caps.

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.
