Pros

They provide solid pay, good hours, and easy work. They will pay if you get into an accident, even if it was your fault. They give two 15 minute breaks a day, on top of an hour lunch. This work is perfect for a first job, or if you want to get off your feet. As long as you keep up with your application and make calls to keep it up, you will be hired.

Cons

The 5-point system will work against you and seems to be there just to keep the influx of new hires in. Unfortunately, as good as you are, everyone has there mistakes. The app is sometimes confusing for no reason, i genuinely question why Walmart even has a separate tech company if everything they do just kind of sucks, Its tolerable though. *Disclaimer: I was fired from Walmart because of the point system, I had a workplace injury and even though I walked in and gave the HR medical paperwork, I got pointed out for not calling in through the app specifically.

Pros

the culture is like family. lifelong bonds made here. could and would definitely return.

Cons

depressing overall mood with salaried managers coming and going always trying to implement the next corporate restructure. shuffling workers into new roles and pay structures leading to an insecure employment situation

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.
