Pros
The best reasons that I could come up with to work at a Wal-Mart store is that it's a paying job, offers an employee discount program, and can allow for some flexibility in scheduling if you have a family or go to school.
Cons
Incompetent store management and the corporate culture. For example, instead of just handing over money cashiers are trained to pretend to faint if they're being robbed at gun point. Speaking of money, if if you're a cashier and management allows someone to work from your drawer while you're on break, if the drawer comes up short you're still held responsible and could be fired if it's more than $5 I think.
