Pros

Working at Walmart is a great way to get started on your work experience. You meet all kinds of customers on a daily basis, and I still see Walmart veterans here still learning new things here. There are some notable benefits as well, such as free college classes, which is great! I've had some great coworkers here as well. Overall, this job is a great choice to get all kinds of careers going.

Cons

Walmart management is a big concern. You really aren't treated like a "family" here, and they will be sure you stay on your toes. Rather than being a source for encouragement for associates, they feel more menacing and even inhumane at times. I've even had times where they would suggest I do things that kind of go against my values. You can feel yourself start to sweat when they are around you, which is probably a bad sign. Customers can also be an issue, as there are many customers that will yell at you and break your heart no matter how much kindness you give to them. First day training was also an issue for me here as well, as it was very messy my first few weeks. (These challenges can be seen in a good light though; managing through these issues can provide great experience!)

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.
