Pros

Good pay, great place to work while in college with potential to go to the home office or join the management team. The profit sharing bonus plan is a great way to get extra money each quarter, provided the store is performing well.

Cons

A few managers are really not qualified to be managers. Raises are only given once per year along with yearly evaluations. So if you are a hard worker giving 120%, you will get a raise when the guy next to you gives 20% and also gets a raise. Some stores hire the least amount of people as possible, which puts added pressure on the associates that they do hire. Overtime is a rarity.

Pros

- The Benefits are really good compared to everywhere else I've received benefits. - Stock options, a good way to save money with a stock that consistently does well. - Open 24 hours, more shift flexibility - Some opportunity for career development, if you can get past the obstacles.

Cons

- Difficult to move up from within, most department managers hold the positions for many years, blocking people who want to go beyond .

Pros

The two major reasons to work at Wal-Mart are the Structure and Pay Rate. The business model for wal-mart has made it the largest retail company in the world.

Cons

Downsides are lower level management is not that great. Advancement is also hard. The sheer size of the company also makes things confusing. Sometimes associates are like minnows in an ocean. Management doesn't really help relieve this feeling either.
