Business outlook
Pros
Diverse employer, opportunities to advance. When I was there I was a student at the time and had the opportunity to work with a wide range of people from within the geogrpahic community. Wal-Mart was more willing than others to hire immigrant women, young people etc.
Cons
Low pay compared to what the company can afford - it drives down wages generally because it is such a huge employer and in smaller places is an integral part of the whole economy of the area. Union-busting and imtimidating behaviour is a definite downside.
