Pros

Pay, promotional and advancement opportunities. Especially for internal employees. You can start as a cart attendant and become a VP. WalMart is everywhere, so you can pretty much work anywhere in the world.

Cons

Very aggressive, demanding, high pressure, high stress environment. It's retail, so you're working when others are off enjoying family and friends. Pressure to work constantly. And that a store cannot function without the store manager, so the expectation is that you're at work a lot.

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

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.
