Vantaggi
Close to home,easy work,good hours,opportunities for advancement. Also,with the bad economy-job security is VERY good. WalMart stock is rising rapidly. Most of my co-workers are friendly and do a good job. The variety of daily tasks make for a non-boring job. Plus I get my ONLY exercise from working at Wal Mart :-) Wal-Mart also does a LOT of good things for the local community through charity works. The employees in the stores do a GREAT job taking care of each other when something bad happens(such as illness,death,etc..) It's really nice helping customers.
Svantaggi
Putting up with rude and impatient customers. It's fast-paced work with many deadlines imposed by management. Some employees are VERY inconsiderate and seem to have forgotton how to deal with the public. Sam Walton had a "ten-foot" rule which is all but gone. I always acknowledge customers and try to help. BUT..it seems the door greeters never say hello to customers and RARELY acknowledge fellow associates.
