Pros

No matter what you need at Wal-Mart, there is a section for you. A person can head to Wal-Mart and purchase their groceries for the week, a digital camera, get their vehicle repaired, and shop for clothes, all in one trip.

Cons

Wal-Mart has come under fire for their employee health insurance policy. They do not offer their employees a health care policy that is competitive with what other employers provide for their subordinates. Wal-Mart workers are often forced to use public assistance to make up for what they lack and most Wal-Mart employees struggle to make ends meet as a result. While certain items are much cheaper when you purchase them at Wal-Mart, this is by design. Wal-Mart charges shoppers less for some items, but if you are someone who pays close attention to prices, you will realize that some items actually cost a lot more than they would if you had purchased them at a different store. This is by design and is a way for Wal-Mart to recoup what they’ve lost on the less expensive items.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
