Pros

Nothing much. Why do you not see all those happy employee commercials on any more. Employees could not figure out where those people worked. The 10% employee discount may be important and helpful to employees.

Cons

Long hours required for Assistant Managers. The store manager would direct the assistant managers to "get rid" of store personnel whom they did not personally care for. Saw much discrimination towards both staff and customers who were "different". Poor employee morale-if an employee had a complaint about a CSM or higher-they were labeled a troublemaker. There is a very low wage scale for all except senior management. It seemed the better a manager could lie, the farther they got.

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.
