      Pros

      Wal-Mart paid a reasonable wage for a part time basically unskilled job. I was attending school while I was working there and they were quite accomodating of my schedule and giving me a balance between work and school.

      Cons

      Any customer who sees you will ask you questions regardless of which department you work in. This is because the employees in many departments spend very little time there. Also, management attempts to build enthusiasm and excitement for working there but this comes across as brainwashing. There are very few opportunities for advancement and training was fairly deficient.

      Great Place to Work

      Pros

      Management is always helpful when it comes to their associates. I loved their Open Door policy to where anything you said to them was confidential and couldn't be told to anyone else. They also had a lot of other employee help programs to help during hard economic times. Wal-Mart cares about their associates. If you enjoy interacting with people, both the mean and happy ones this is the place to work. Career advancements are always possible as job postings are normally regular. You simply just sign up within the HR department and if your manager sees you as a good fit your a shoe in for the job. What I also liked was when I was working their they did a study on what the base salaries were in competing stores. They raised my hourly rate based on that study.

      Cons

      When I worked with Wal-Mart the down side was the benefits package wasn't that good, and the people that came to Wal-Mart were usually down right mean and rude.

      How Much Money Do Wal-Mart's CEO's Need to Make? Where is the money for the Associates?

      Pros

      I was laid off my job that I went to school for. I could not find a job but Wal-Mart hired me. I've stayed due to that. Over the last few years it has gotten worse. Management has a job to do and its stressful and they pass that on down to the associates. Its horrible!!!

      Cons

      Management does not care about anything but money. I've been in three stores and this last store, the management team does nothing but walk around at night. When associates need help, they ignore the calls and/or you can't find them. Management expects the overnight associates to do more work with the freight that is humanly possible. No thanks, no nothing, in fact, they take away money from us and hours that we worked. If associates had 42 hours in a work week and the budget calls for only 40 hours, the management team can manipulate the system and take away those 2 hours even though associate worked it. It sucks. The associates do not get enough pay to begin with.
