Pros

Wal Mart is a great place to start a career if a) you do not have a college education b) you find a "daddy" in the company and c) you are willing to live in Bentonville Arkansas for the rest of your life

Cons

Bentonville only has Wal Marts as a place to buy groceries......Wal Mart meat is okay but their produce is HORRIBLE. I drove down to Fayetteville every week to buy many of my groceries.....That's almost 30 miles EACH way! Also, if your spouse is not with Wal Mart it is difficult to get a job. Economy tanked here before most of the country, and Wal Mart decided to lay off it's entire textile division just when things got bad in 2008. Sent the jobs to NYC. Not the loyalty that Sam would have expected out of his people. SHAME ON YOU BOYS!

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.
