Pros

Low cost health health insurance. HSA. Will hire most anyone. They hired me when no one else would.

Cons

No feedback. Huge favortism when promoting. Two verbal warnings equals a written warning. A third verbal warning becomes a 'decision day' at which point an associate can not be promoted nor transfer to another facility. Even after the first and/or second verbal warnings expire after a year, the decision day stands as such and bars any possibility of advancement. Such a decision day also would mean that any additional verbal warning with in the above time frames would be brounds for termination. Disciplining and or verbal warnings are given to assosiates that are not in good favor with management. Has absolutely no bearing to good or bad performance. Attitude of advancement or promotion being based on sexual preference or racial ethnicity is rampant.

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

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.
