Pros

The work environment was pretty laid back as long as you get your work done. Lots of autonomy to focus on your work.

Cons

Personally, it wasn't challenging enough for me, and I wish I had learned more on the job.

Advice to Management

I was contracting at Walmart Global eCommerce along with others from the same staffing agency. My contract was getting close to the end and since I had so many projects assigned to me, I thought I was going to be automatically renewed.

Not only was my contract not renewed, which would have been fine with me if my manager (or anyone else) had given me a heads-up, but they decided to disable my badge and account. This meant I wasn't able to get into the building or log into my work laptop to communicate with my team to let them know the situation.

I still had five more days left of my contract, so I at least expected to be at work for the remaining days. A little heads-up that they were going to revoke my access would have been nice.

I highly recommend avoiding employment at Walmart. It's notorious for being a terrible place to work.
