Vantaggi
Large company that continues to grow, therefore opportunity to continue career growth. Pay is actually very competitive. There are career options in a variety of disciplines if you are willing to move to Bentonville or internationally. Most positions are in retail operations, but there are a limited number of corporate support positions based in cities such as Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, and others. The company is one of the most stable companies around, so there is generally job security, but only if you are achieving expectations.
Svantaggi
It's retail, meaning it isn't glamorous and everyone has an opinion about the company due to its size. Stores generally operate around the clock, 7 days per week, so work weeks are long for store operations and support roles. Annual raises are very conservative, so you have to keep pressing for promotions, which may require relocation to another city or a stint in Bentonville. Goals are aggressive, and resources are what you would expect from a discount retailer, light.
