Pros

It's a good place to work when you are 16, 17 or 18. They pay above minimum wage and most managers are pretty flexible with part time workers. There are always people willing to pick up shifts if you need time off to study, etc.

Cons

Unless you plan on training for a management position, you should leave as soon as you graduate high school. You are better off doing internships in your field during university than wasting 4 years at Wal-Mart as a part time job.

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.
