Walmart needs to improve

Cashier

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's good for a first job. There are good compensations for holiday and sick days. The atmosphere is friendly, and there are chances to change positions very easily. The other cashiers are helpful to new associates such as myself. The training is very comprehensive.

Cons

You are on your feet sometimes for 6 1/2 hours straight if you work on cash even though there is a guarantee that you will be able to have a break after 5 hours. There are some very rude CSM's.

Wal-Mart needs to work on how they treat people

Management intern

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

i dnt have any best reasons to work for Wal-Mart

Cons

the way ur treated- walmart doesnt care about the associates just trying to make their customers happy how you are treated by management- management has a clear difining line of where you should stand and where they are: I was told not to interact with the associates that much because i was part of management. They don't have conversations with the associates unless its about work. how flexible they are when people have family matters- one of the managers had issues with her new born baby and they wouldnt let her leave her shift to go take care of what she needed to do they like to over work you and under pay u

Always low prices, always low pay!

Receiving associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not too many. For me convenience. The people are fairly nice at the store I work at. Manager is easy to deal with and the personnel manager was one of the most professional employee I met.

Cons

The pay is low, like their prices.Picked up the job just for some extra cash. With many years experience in receiving, I thought the compensation would be reasonable. They informed me the best they could give me at that point was $7.90 an hour. With the first raise based on review not for a year. Most benefits do not start until after one year, which compared to my full time job is excessive.
