I have been working at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 3 years

ProsChances for growth and managerial experience if you want it bad enough. Management is willing to assist you in your growth.

ConsPay is horrible at most positions except for salaried members of management.

Advice to Senior ManagementPay your people more so they won't want to leave and will show up to work.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Best place to work if you want to take advantage of advancement opportunities!

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 7 years

ProsOut of all the places I've worked in my life Walmart has been the best place by far when it comes to opportunities to advance. I started out as an unloader and under two years I made my way to a salary management position. At the time I had no degree and I was in my early twenties. I started out making more then some of my friends I knew who had already graduated college with bachelor degrees.

ConsBeing that Walmart is a retail business, your hours and days will always suck. Sorry I can t put it any better. Walmart closes ONE day a year and that's on Christmas. Every other holiday you can expect to be at work. The work/life balance may be the worst out of all the jobs I've had.

Advice to Senior ManagementRemember that you weren't always a manager. It's that simple.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Evolution is killing

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Walmart Stores

ProsSalary is very good when compared to others. Overall company has the right vision, but impossibly high expectations are forced to happen in an unrealistic time frames. Lots of locations available all around the world making moving easy.

ConsTrying to evolve rapidly to cut expenses is killing the basic foundation of the company. Innovations........basically means less people and more work which actually takes away from customers being #1.

Great place if you don't want to make a career of it.

Photo Specialist (Current Employee)
Rochester, NY (US)

I have been working at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 7 years

ProsBreaks are taken seriously. Starting wage is always above the minimum wage. You always have customers. You receive a raise every year. Willing to provide work for college students and hold their position open when they are away. Overall an extremely great place to work if you are not seeking to make a career of it.

ConsWay too many managers. Everything is done by store policy and changes to daily routines only come from upper management. Limited career advancement, unless you're really into retail (very difficult to get a job with home office or in the corporate sector). Finger pointing runs rampant if anything goes wrong since taking responsibility most often equates to losing your job (applies to all positions below store manager). Absolutely no backbone in regards to standing up against rude customers (you could return a package of used diapers without a receipt if you complain the right amount).

Advice to Senior ManagementAppreciate your employees more and your customers just slightly less.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

ok

Sales Associate (Former Employee)
Bakersfield, CA (US)

I worked at Walmart Stores part-time for more than 3 years

Prosthey have benfits plus it is peak time meaning your going to get at least 32 hours per week and you will get a lot of overtime during Thanksgiving and Christmas which comes with a good bonus

Consthey make an easy job hard you have to have a passion to want to be there or you won't last

Advice to Senior Managementcould be a little less strict

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
