Cashier

May 2018 • Biddeford, ME

What I liked

Lots of hours, had some great coworkers, made some money

What I wish was different

I wish we were better-staffed during the busy times of the day. When everyone gets out of work and goes grocery shopping from 5-8pm we always got slammed on the registers. This could have been avoided if the "computer" making the schedule changed its algorithm.

Advice

Working at Walmart is only as good as you make it! Stay positive, keep yourself busy (there is always stuff to do!) and interact with people. I know for a fact I have saved people's lives working as a Walmart cashier and that is something I am pretty proud of. I've got a lot of stories to tell but won't tell them all here.

Sales Associate

July 2019 • Marshfield, MO

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

It's very simple to be completely frank, and I was way more nervous than I should have been throughout the entire thing. Employers aren't as scary as people think, and if you get rejected, it's easy to move on.

Walmart Fresh Cap 2 Associate

August - October 2019 • Huntsville, AL

What I liked

It was a great experience. I learned how to approach people in need and I felt good after helping someone.

What I wish was different

My hours, the part time hours are 32 a week and it was rough to go to school and keep up a demanding work schedule.

Advice

Get great shoes, there is very little sitting down and always come in happy. It is a great first job. There are many opportunities to go further with the company but they are understanding of your wishes.

Self Checkout Host

October 2018 • Cheektowaga, NY

What I liked

Customer service! A lot of people have always complained about a service job, but I found that I enjoyed assisting customers and putting smiles on their faces. Furthermore, I feel more integrated in the community since most locals frequent the store. Over the summer, I switched positions from Front End Cashier to Self Checkout Host and am in the middle of training for Money Center and the Customer Service Desk for future positions.

What I wish was different

A better communication system that didn't require direct contact at the store. Unfortunately, I called off a couple of days for personal reasons and the lack of email or other electronically delivered information made communication with administration difficult.

Advice

Keep an open mind, and do your best! That way, you can work with a clear mind and not let the smallest of slights ruin your day.
