Pros
I worked at the Frisco TX walmart for 9 months and absolutely loved my job. The managers treated everyone well, the employees helped each other out, and morale was high. People felt so appreciated that they would voluntarily come in to help on their days off if it was needed. The managers bought drinks for all employees on tough nights to keep morale up, they held celebrations for certain numbers of days without workplace incidents, and they gave recognition to hard working employees. I recommended my job and store to everyone that I knew. Other: The healthcare is affordable and the new time off policy is wonderful because it allows everyone to start acruing time off as soon as they start work.
Cons
On the other hand, I just moved to a new walmart and I can't stand it. The managers are unappreciative and drive their team like a pack of mules. No one wants to come to work and no one wants to work hard, because the managers don't care either way. The store is severely understaffed and the managers expect the handful of employees to get more than a night's worth of work done in a night or for every employee to do 2 or 3 employees worth of work, then get angry when it isn't done. My old store was understaffed too, but the manager's made it work. In conclusion, the manager's truly make or break a store. Other: There is no training for new employees, so you better be quick to pick things up.
