WM has obviously turned into a machine where it overworks it employees to the maximum and then gets rid of them and than the circle starts over with new hiring? Haven’t seen a lot of people advance, raises are rare… Does anyone even see WM as a place where one can build a career and advance in business?

Yes, totally! As long as you're willing to work every holiday, every weekend, every evening.. The new schedules for managers s---. I recommend the severance package
To be honest with you as a stem major you probably won't have much of a future with this company ,unless you work at the San Bruno or Sunnyvale Campus as a part of their war with Amazon, or you're a c-suite at Bentonville. Wasting an MBA on Walmart is stupid unless offered a store manager or vice president level position.
and .... all white, Christian, straight, males will be eliminated - guarantee it
My prediction:
-
All non salaried employees will be temps. Walmart is so cheap they're not even ging to contract out temp services; they'll do it all in house and save a bundle of $$, just as (I believe) they're already gearing up the process to do. How they fly this is, they're dangling this illusion of 'just work hard and be flexible and do everything perfectly that we want, and you'll get FULL TIME!' ---- and some do; an outer concentric circle of 'long term' associates, kept on board strictly for training purposes......before they too, ultimately, are discarded and replaced.

Salaried management will be required to have a minimum of a bachellor's degree---preferably in business, and with at least 2 years retail supervisory experience. And they can do this, too. The market is that over saturated with unemployed MBAs, Walmart can pick and choose the very best of the best. Frankly, I'm shocked they haven't already flown that program a long time ago.
But they will. Both. **Get ready.
