Current Employee – been working at Walmart Stores part-time for more than a year

Pros – This is not a bad company overall. The charity work done by some individuals at the company is quite noble.

Former Employee – worked at Walmart Stores part-time for more than a year

Pros – you get raises, can buy stock if you want, the work is kinda easy, you get 3 free call offs every 6 months and it's simple to call off, the registers are up to date and they have self checkouts (FUN :) )

Cons – communication and the lack thereof, rules change constantly and I mean CONSTANTLY, rules are not told to the employes, can be fired very easily for things you wouldn't imagine getting fired for, not allowed to help anyone if off the clock, managers are kind of rude, wal-mart treats the customers like gods and the workers like they don't mater

Advice to Senior Management – be less rude, treat workers kindly, don't change the policy's so often or at least notify the employes when you do

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

quarterly bonus

Cons – poor benefits
work you on production scale but do not pay for production

Advice to Senior Management – Walmart claims they have three basic principles, go back to them and realize that its the associates that get the job done. You have hard working people pay them for the job they do.

Review your management selection process to find the right person for the right job not a buddy system.

Former Employee – worked at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Helping customers, good coworkers, benefits, little traveling, and associate discount (except groceries).

Cons – Benefit costs keep increasing while the benefits provided decrease.
The company's new direction is making it difficult to meet community needs.
Hours are cut more frequently in recent years while the work load and responsibilites increase.
Pay caps.

Advice to Senior Management – Appreciate your hard workers and long time associates more. There is little reward or advantage in being a reliable and diligent employee with the way the company is structured now; however, a little appreciation for a job well done will go far. It is understandable that the company want to compete with chains like Target, but working with a communities needs alway made the company stand out. It is a shame that the home office felt that the only way to be successful as a nationwide company required no longer trusting their management to be effective at meeting the needs of their store.
