      Pros

      It is a great place to start employment. Wages are competitive if not above competitive if you are new or fairly new to the work force. It is a fantastic place for women who have been stay at home moms and now need to supplement or even become the primary provider. It is probably one of the most diverse companies I have ever seen. The opportunities for advancement are excellent. If you are a hard worker and a team player, you can advance at a very fast rate. Wal-Mart is not age discriminatory. You have as much opportunity for advancement if you are 18 or 68. And NO most of my fellow associates are NOT on state-funded health care. Wal-Mart provides competitive benefits. It costs me less than $50/pay period to insure myself and my spouse. Wal-Mart also provides a 401k and share-holding plan. Associates do not have to contribute.

      Cons

      If you were hired prior to 2007, wages do not compensate for the raise in cost of living. People who have been hired subsequently will most likely be making more money than those hired prior to 2007 - such as myself - even with the annual pay raises. The difference in pay between hourly associates and hourly management needs to be addressed. New hourly associate hirees are making more money than their supervisors who were hired prior to 2007, yet the workload of hourly management is much greater.

      Sam's Club: Great Opportunities Far Into the Future

      Pros

      I am with the Sam's Club division of Wal-Mart Inc. which I have found to be the better avenue to take in the company in terms of compensation and overall job quality. Working for Sam's Club has given me the opportunity to advance my career and puts me face to face with some of the best practices in the retail industry. The best thing about working at Sam's Club is the culture of the company. The "Open Door" policy allows all associates to voice their opinions without fear of retaliation. I am also very impressed with the quality of management at Sam's Club. They do a great job of cultivating an atmosphere where hard work is appreciated and where a job well done is recognized. Another really good thing about Sam's Club is the fact that anyone can move up in the company if they work hard and uphold the 3 basic beliefs (Respect for the Individual, Strive for Excellence, Service to the Member). The company claims to "promote from within" and they do a great job of making sure they do just that. Benefits are pretty good as well. The company will actually fund a portion of an associate's 401k even if the associate elects not to contribute. Sam's Club also offers a 15% match to any associate that chooses to join the stock purchase plan.

      Cons

      The biggest downside to working at Sam's Club is the monotony. A lot of times the work is very similar day in and day out. I am a person that enjoys some variety from time to time. Another downside would be the amount of associates that come in and out of the company. Although Sam's Club pays well, it seems that there are many new faces from month to month. While the company does have a good 401k plan, I would like to see some sort of match to any contributions made by associates. This would help to encourage more savings for retirement and would potentially help to maintain high quality associates/management.
