Pros
Salaries are fair There is some flexibility in schedules If you're willing to give up your life/family, you can contribute to some big things Bentonville isn't a great place for non-families
Cons
Work/life balance Health insurance is very bad - WM pays $300 to $600 toward your medical bills and then the rest is at-cost until you reach your very high deductible ($6k/person) Pressure to Perform - Getting the job done well is not enough. You must deliver at a caliber that is often unspecified, beyond the scope of your position and faster than ever. It's achievable but it comes at the expense of your free time. For all the effort, gratitude from Leadership is missing. Pay for Performance - WM implemented a mandatory curve in 2018. What is communicated to associates is that it's a fairer program, but in Leadership meetings it is known as a strategy to move certain people out of the company with the intention to draw in new talent.
