Pros of working at Walmart

My coach is great and works with my schedule. Actually all of my leads are wonderful to work for. I love providing the best customer service possible while fulfilling orders And helping customers locate products in the store. The pay is decent too, at least where I live. But the cost of living is skyrocketing all to fast.

Cons of working at Walmart

They don't give raises on a regular basis. I don't feel like I'm appreciated by the Walmart corporation itself. My leads do thank and appreciate me almost on a daily.

Walmart benefits
