Pros

Vast career options from store operations, logistics, merchandising, marketing, administration, international and more.

Cons

Relies on consultants to think and associates to do (Shouldn’t the opposite be true?). Poor executive leadership and management that relies on authority from top down for execution. Support areas such as HR and Legal have too much authority and do not serve the best interest of the associate or the customer. Takes a defensive position on litigation risk adding more bureaucracy than necessary. Fear and insecurity are at every turn, resulting in an every-man/woman-for-him/herself. The narrative on social media suggest that the company is thriving. Don’t believe everything you read. What is posted is often an attempt to counter-balance the toxic working conditions or is someone merely trying to impress their boss or to get off the bottom 10% list.

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.
