My younger brother worked at WM for years - it's great that there are medical benefits, and he loved having his birthday off with pay! (don't know if that was just at his store, or what; I thought it was cool!).

If you can afford to participate in this, I recommend it. During the worst part of the recession, only a handful of companies made money. Guess who was on the list? Yup - Walmart stock.

Thanks for the advice, I'm planning to put aside $100/pay as an emergency fund/ rainy day money
