What I wish was different
Nothing, really. It's the best job I've had so far.
Advice
It's not as bad as it seems, the job is pretty easy.

November 2016 - September 2019 • Alcoa, TN
What I liked
I enjoyed working with my coworkers because almost all of them were very friendly. It also helped me become more comfortable around new people and people I had never met before (people skills).
What I wish was different
I ended up having to quit because they weren't very flexible when I needed a day off for something like finals, going out of town for a holiday, etc. I requested a Sunday off for finals week 7 months in advance and it got rejected, but I got about 3 solid years out of it so it was probably time for me to move on anyway.
Advice
If you are also in school at the same time, try and find a department that has a strong manager that can fix your schedule if you need a day off due to an exam/final/etc.

Cashier
March 2018 - September 2019 • Seekonk, MA
What I liked
Schedules are very flexible you can work anywhere from 4-34 hours a week and the pay in MA is not bad. Walmart offers bonuses to all employees quarterly depending on your average hours.
What I wish was different
The workplace at Walmart is very linear you learn to do one thing and it can be extremely boring.
Advice
This is a great job for 6mo-1y but anything more begins to make you hate your job with a passion, you quickly learn everything and the job feels too simple. My advice: great for a summer job but think hard if you want to stay.

Cashier
July - September 2019 • Mesa, AZ
What I liked
The customers were very nice and once they saw you regularly some would give hugs and just be happy to see you in general.
What I wish was different
I wish management was different. Communication was almost nonexistent. Someone can be a great, even an amazing, employee, but that doesn’t always mean they will be a great manager or supervisor so, just be aware that.
Advice
Patience really is key. Sometimes people don’t move as fast as you or you don’t move as fast as someone else and that’s okay.

Sales Associate
June - August 2019 • Hueytown, AL
What I liked
I liked the opportunities to learn new tasks and when I was given the freedom to go about tasks in my own way. The pay was also pretty solid, especially on the weeks where I worked 40+ hours.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been there a little bit longer to rise through positions more. There was also a lack of accountability for workers who failed to do their jobs, which gave the people willing to work hard and go the extra mile a more difficult time.
Advice
Go into it with the expectation of doing repetitive tasks, but with the attitude of a hard worker and the willingness to perform your tasks in the most efficient way. That will make you stand out to management, which opens up your opportunities within the company even more.
