      New Programs started without needed staffing

      Pros

      I enjoy working for a company that has integrity and treats me with fairness and respect. The Career opportunities are there for those prepared to work hard. The company communicates well generally through an online system called the wire. Wal*Mart strives to keep communication lines open through it's massive workforce. Wal*Mart has many support programs available to help individuals and families and stays ahead of high tech programs.

      Cons

      Stressful due to understaffing on overnights with new programs requiring more than what can be accomplished with the minimum staffing throughout the company.

      Some insight behind Wal-mart

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wal-Mart has great benefits. 401K to invest in along with other stock options. Paid vacations. Paid vacation is determined by how many hours you work. Very good about letting you have time off except on holidays. Some of the associates you work with are very friendly. Some are very committed to fast and friendly customer service. If its a product in the store management or an associate will be more than happy to look it up. They celebrate associates birthday and accident free work days by having parties or cook-out. Wal-mart has fashion shows with associates to model in them and certian times they do weddings if you're getting married.3302

      Cons

      No room to move up in other positions. They allow people who have been there a shorter amount of time to fill those positions.They hire too many people and don't have the hours to give to the associates who have been there longer. Wal-mart will require you to work in other departments but your pay is not the same as the other employees. Certian members of management believe in working every holiday. So watch out! There is a six month waiting period before you are able to move up anywhere else. Wal-mart does not pay overtime for extra hours worked/.

      The times they are a changin......

      Pros

      Stable work- always going to be around, there are always promotions available if you are willing to travel across the country for them; vacations accrue quickly; benefits not as bad as advertised-actually affordable if you pick the policy best tailored for your needs. Also, many long-term associates actually care about their store and are willing to work hard to be the best they can be.

      Cons

      You are expected to basically live your life for the company when you are salaried- work/life balance suffers because of this. Also, everyday at Wal-Mart we have what I call the "sky is falling syndrome"- no matter what you do or how much you accomplish, you will NEVER be ahead and will be reminded of this frequently from Store Manager/ Market Manager/ Market Team. It is also a constant struggle to staff the store with increasingly stringent payroll and huge turnover problems- not uncommon to have 6-8 people on the entire salesfloor on a given evening- customer service suffers as a result
