Pros

The people whom I work with on the local level. Job stability, as long as you are a good performer.

Cons

Too much red tape, not allowed to think for ourselves, even when we are competent to do so. When someone makes a mistake 1000 miles away, they create more rules to stifle the individual creativity that helps companies run smoothly. Bundled Optical in with pharmacy- now we are run by managers who have no interest in our profession and who are bothered by our issues which they deem unimportant.

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.
