Pros

Flexible shifts, any schedule you need to work around they will. the starting pay was quite a bit higher than other stores, very casual and fun work environment.

Cons

Hardly any chance for advancement, no communication from management to other employees. Horrible benefits packge, very expensive and you get nothing out of it. The starting pay is high but after that you're pretty much stuck.

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked here five years ago and had a little bit of work experience back then, but not much. I made more than a dollar above minimum wage and the managers and CEO's were actually very kind and friendly.

Cons

Got in trouble for something they wouldn't fully explain, and they said they had video proof but wouldn't display it to me. Didn't give me a fair chance to defend myself.

Good Pay. OK Benes. No Family Life.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Pay. Opportunities for advancement if you work hard. Discount on already inexpensive products. Every day at Wal-Mart is different.

Cons

No work/life balance. I worked 60-80 hours each week. Sometimes went in @ 7a and didn't leave until after midnight. Manager would give 2-3 hour projects on his way out the door at 5pm (when I was scheduled to leave a 5pm as well). I've NEVER (and I really mean never) met a Wal-Mart Store Manager that was HAPPILY married with YOUNG kids. NEVER. Working at Wal-Mart isn't conducive to a happy family life. Also, if you're not working in retail now, DON'T GO INTO RETAIL. Once you have retail on your resume, it's hard to get out and the only jobs you ever get offered are other retail jobs.
