Pros

The insurance is good. I know I make more money than some of my peers. I feel like its job security because so many people shop there. No matter how bad the economy gets, consumers are still going to need to buy groceries so I also feel like its a good choice to stay stable in uncertain times.

Cons

Wal-Mart's attendance policy leaves things to be desired. I understand that people shouldn't call in all the time. But I totally disagree with giving someone an unexused absense when they have a doctor's note to prove that they or a family member were actually ill. I have a write up on my record that i was given for missing a total of six days in a twelve month period. Only one of those absenses did not include a doctor's note. Actually the one day I missed that I didn't go to the doctor was due to a sunburn I recieved while I was working on a charity project for guess who...Wal-Mart!

Pros

PTO, PPTO , RTO when it is available, being able to work from home.

Cons

Everything else. They outsourced to India and these people dont have to take calls but yet the people who have been here get taken out of chat and take all the calls.. How fair is that? The are metric driven and do NOT care about how well you are onthe phone.. only numbers numbers numbers. Heaven forbid you go over by a minute or two , then you are put on a action plan and get punished. No one listens and to have any issue solved it takes months. They move at a snails pace and they have the most incompentant people working for them. I have been looking for something else. The pay sucks and you are not paid fairly at all.. Save the company billions in return abuse and get few cent raise.. Walmart is horrible and they should be ashamed of themselves

Pros

great schedule, potential to relocate to different states with the company.

Cons

For management, seems that managers are not treated as nice from the higher-ups as associates. Loyalty means nothing, Time with the company means nothing. I gave some of my best years to this company and making a career out of a job, and I feel like it was all a waste. I am thankful for my job, I've been there 25 years. I work my butt off, and my associates basically make the same as I do, without my bonus. I am happy that Walmart is paying my associates a great wage, but my time that I put in and the long hours I work sacrificing family time for my pay to only be a bonus more then my associate is not worth it. After all I have done, I would be better off as one of my associates.
