Pros

Awesome co-workers Friendly managers(most of the time) Decent pay for an entry level job You can gain a lot of retail experience, from working in other departments. Great resume builder when you can list experience. Rewarding to help customers find what they want if you love working with people.

Cons

Managers often tell you about 8 different things to get done at the same time. No cross communication or coordination sometimes it seems like. Often unrealistic expectations of associates, deadlines to get things done as well as taking care of customers can often be stressful. Getting pulled to other departments when you have too much to get done in your department is stressful as well, some areas are paid more than you and you are doing their work. Almost impossible to get Full-Time unless you're working nights or an unloader. Part time hours are 33 a week, no benefits.

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.
