Pros

Great potential for advancement. Training for management is very thorough. Open Door Policy is handled very professionally. Can have a tremendous family atmosphere in the right store. Company continues to grow.

Cons

Has lost a lot of what made it great to begin with. Very little of what Sam Walton spoke about in "Made in America" is still implemented today. Managers can't merchandise. Company is far too rigid and structured to allow itself to grow as it once did.

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.
