Pros

The way the economy is today, i'm glad i work for a company that has everything you need to live, at very affordable price's. The motto, save money, live better is very true. I love going to work, knowing that folks in my community can get whatever they need and still have money left over for other bills. The chance for advancement is wonderful. If you work hard, have a great personality and push yourself everyday to do one thing more than you did the day before, you will get noticed and will get that promotion. Walmart gives so much to communities, jobs,grants,scholarships. they donate millions to the children's miracle network. Why wouldn't i love to work for wal-mart....oh did i mention employees get a 10 percent discount and we get a quarterly bonus called my share, 401k, profit sharing, stock purchase. ect.ect.

Cons

dealing with the public, most people are very nice, but you do get some customers that think they are above you, just because you work at "walmart" hearing people say bad things about wal-mart. im really having a hard time thinking about the "downsides" of working for wal-mart. The pay could be better,health care could be better, but really, isn't that anywhere you work! that is if you are working. super centers only close one day a year, but that's retail for you. associate parking, when it is raining or you are late, you have to park at the back of the parking lot. ha ha ha just trying to get enough words in.

Pros

stability,discounts,good coworkers,no fear of layoffs, this company could be one of the greats if it would treat it's labor better

Cons

you always know you can be replaced, and the company is not willing to pay anymore than it has to. the bottom line is always the most important

Pros

I enjoy the discount, They are fairly flexibe when you need time off. The Open Door policy is great. You can walk right up to the store manager and discuss your issues. In most places that I have worked, this was not necessarily the case. I feel like I can be open and honest and let them know what is bothering me. We get a bonus every 3 months based on the store performance. We also get incentives for other things also

Cons

Working with the public is always a downside to retail jobs.
