Not as bad as is sometimes said, but still quite bad.

Cashier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There really aren't any good reasons, other than the fact that it's fairly easy to get hired there when you need a part-time job in a pinch. Just don't expect to get full-time work.

Cons

It's nearly impossible to get a full-time position. Stores are frequently understaffed, communication is poor, both management and customers treat associates as if they weren't intelligent people. Benefits are too restricted to full-time employees considering that few people are made full-time. Hours are too inconsistent.

Good company - but be prepared to work HARD

Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunity to help people save money so that they can live better. It's great to know that I can be part of such cause. There is also pride in working for the largest company in the world - fortune 1!

Cons

Extremely long hours - Company operates very lean - and often management does not have a realistic understanding of what it takes to accomplish a task. Positions at home office are better - but if you happen to be supporting the field, expect to work hard and long hours. I also find that wm promoted individuals into positions they were not ready to hold - individuals that lack the very core competencies necessary to perform as leaders. Internal promotions still happen at a large scale - more often than not, people that are not suited are put in positions they shouldnt be in. If you are considering WM - do your homework and get to know your future manager before accepting a position. Also, company starts operating very early in the morning - so if you are used to workin 8-5 be prepared to change your routine to 6:30am-7pm.

Business Outlook

Pros

Your advancement in the job, the ability to transfer and learn other areas and to transfer to others sites around the world. The company is the largest employer and because of that you have many options open on transfers to other areas of the world. The growth potential is unsurpased.

Cons

Some of the rules and regulations. Your illiness protection pay and the "one day wait". You canot use your sick leave to go to the dentist or doctor. All your leave, except personal time can not be left from year to year.
