Pros

If you act like an idiot they will ignore you and not make you work hard. There are actually some good managers in California. Wal Mart in California is probably more concerned that the state will force them treat people fairly and more likely to allow all Wal Marts to become Union.

Cons

If you have any intelligence the upper level managers will beat you down in fear for their jobs and work you to death. Managers are paid more to keep wages low! There is a direct link to what Wal Mart calls LOSS that is to say WAGES and managers bonuses!!! There is a constant effort to remove any kind of power from the employees. And if you say you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your job, training, leadership, you get canned.

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.
