Pros

Ability to work around school schedule was great. I simply told my manager what days and times i would like to work.

Cons

Wal-Mart is notorious for cutting all full-time, non-management positions. This didn't really effect me since I wanted part-time employment. However, I know of several people who had nothing else but Wal-Mart and suddenly their wages were cut and they found themselves without insurance. There are a few really good managers who would go out of their way to help any associate at any time of the day with whatever was going on. The majority of managers it seems where unfit for the tasks that their job presented.

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.
