Walmart Stores and Clubs

Sales Associate

August 2018 • Kennesaw, GA

What I liked

I'm not very fond of this job but i like that it allows me to pay rent and keep food on the table.

What I wish was different

Management, work load, employee treatment and expectations, pay, ability to unionize, etc.

Advice

Walmart is a company that does not really care about its employees and they will look to overwork you and underpay you as much as they can. I recommend this job to anyone who needs some sort of income that is better than fast food but if you can work at some other place that respects its employees and pays them a livable wage, I would recommend you go for that instead.

Cashier

July 2019 • Lafayette, CO

What I liked

Ease of entry to the position.

What I wish was different

Promptness of management to respond to job application, ability of managers to properly schedule work times, internal cohesiveness of management, transparency about wages and inflexible scheduling.

Advice

Wal-mart is not a bad work experience on its own. The most detrimental aspect of my time there has been the incompetence of management. Otherwise, it is what it is: repetitive, consistent retail work.

Labor

July 2018 • Rexburg, ID

What I liked

Since I’ve started working at Walmart as a labor worker, I have gained experience with the team and working as a team. I’ve been moving up as a more valued employee with offers of management to start leading at Walmart. As much as I’d like to take that offer with a better pay for my school expenses, I’ve set a goal to focus on school more.

What I wish was different

I work overnights during the weekend. That’s the only time that works with my schedule with school. I wish I worked during the day with fewer hours so I can still have my focus in school.

Advice

Working and going to school is not easy. If you learn how to work and go to school at the same time, managing your time with the important stuff first will be very easy and this will be helpful in the future with managing time with a family and other things.

June 2017 - October 2019 • Richland Center, WI

What I liked

What I wish was different

I wish my leaving of Walmart wasn’t so hateful in the last month of me being there, I had to deal with running three different departments all while working alone when it was a two-three person job.

Advice

If you go into this career be prepared to be yelled at by impatient customers and be prepared to do things that you weren’t told to do.

Sales Associate

May 2017 • Manville, NJ

What I liked

Having worked at Walmart for more than two years, I love interacting with people from various backgrounds while checking them out at the register. Not only have I worked register, I received partial experience at the customer service desk assisting customers with their product returns since it can be a time-consuming process.

What I wish was different

The fact that there are thousands of Walmart stores internationally, the stores that are located in the United States need to be more efficient in terms of management. Last year, I attended university in North Carolina and worked at nearby Walmart and the customers and fellow employees were incredibly humble and kind. Southern hospitality is a real thing in the south!

Advice

I understand that Walmart has ton of negative reviews in terms of quality of products and overall customer service. However, the one piece of advice I would like to share about my experience working at Walmart is that there is a lot of potential to grow within the company and not just viewed as a regular part-time job for the majority of people. In addition, Walmart is a VERY diverse place to work at. I understand that Loyola is all about diversity on campus, however, since the racial demographics at Loyola University Maryland is on average (between students and faculty) are 73% white, I observed much more diversity in Walmart than I did at Loyola while I attended the university. I have seen ALL different kinds of backgrounds and have had the pleasure of getting to know who they are and what their purpose in life is.
