Pros
I would say that the best reasons to work for Wal-Mart are the culture, the opportunities, and the freedom of information shared. The company has a very strong culture of hard-working individuals. While the Saturday morning meetings may be inconvenient, the opportunity to receive direction from the Senior Management on a monthly basis is invaluable. If information is needed to do my job, all I have to do is ask. They are very open to sharing anything that will help me be able to complete my job better. With all of the jobs available at Wal-Mart, if I decide that I no longer am interested in my occupation, I can start a completely different career, all while remaining an employee of the same company.
Cons
Wal-Mart doesn't spend a lot of money on providing a lavish working environment. While this could be perceived as a benefit with savings, there are many things that employees go without so that the company can save money. I don't expect mahogany desks, but having a little nicer facility can really go a long way towards improving employee morale. When you spend a majority of your time in one location, you would hope that it would be an environment that is comfortable, Wal-mart is not. Even the Home Office feels like a large people warehouse. While it could be worse, it is not ideal.
