Pros

culture was fun at first, knowledgeable manager, exposure to wide variety of tasks/projects. decent pay and the unlimited PTO is amazing - but why would being away from the job be the best pro?

Cons

scope of the role is far too large and ill defined. day to day is spent flying by the seat of your pants to get things done last minute. upper management only cares about optics and reporting up, they don't care about developing those under them. nothing works from a cross-functional technology standpoint and forced to clean up messes/put out fires constantly as lowest level employees. anyone who has been here for a year is so miserable. i can't stress this enough.

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.
