Pros

Pay. Donations to the community.

Cons

Quite a bit of hiring from outside. Lover management overworked.. "Buddies" promoted over qualified people. Little focus on associates treatment - as scorecards can be and are manipulated to companies benefit.

Avoid like the plague

Senior finance manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Use as stepping stone to get a real job. they offer rotten benefits, make you work through breaks, tell you to do your traing at home on your days off, treat incompetent upper mgmt like royalty, don't know the meaning of workng smart- create endless nonsensical reports, and waste time on conferernce calls.

Cons

24/7 work, no respect of life-work balance. Expected to work off hours at home. out of date technology, they literally won't even put paper in the copy machine, give you no training, expect you to buy your own equipment, no respect, dishonest in pre-employmnet interviews, evasive when asked about expected work hours

Not a safe place due to leaders on the ground...EBS

Software engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation and other benefits are very good Great HR policies to benefit employees

Cons

If you are looking for quality engineering work do not join the EBS team. The head of EBS does not have an engineering mindset and highly political which has resulted in good engineers and leaders leave the team. The place is filled with politics in which any good engineer cannot sustain. One of the good engineering leaders who was managing a large team left and is not managed by some one who does not have basic engineering knowledge and is tractional. There is no respect for employees and there is fear. There are other better engineering team in Walmart where you can join.
