Pros: if you got cool fun coworkers, then it ain’t bad, good hours
Cons: bitch ass members of Management, customers
Pros: The policies in place that protect workers, such as you get locked out of equipment if you have not taken a lunch by the time you have been on the clock 6 hours. regular breaks every 2 hours, NO forcing you to stay or work over time.
Open door policy with numbers posted openly in break-rooms and personnel to go above anyone’s head if your store management is unwilling or unable to help rectify an issue
Clear language used in the policies and rules, management cant interpret what something means.
Stock purchase at cost,there is a small fee to create the account and again if you sell shares but otherwise no fees are added to your shares,the ability to pay roll deduct at any amount the share purchase.
Turn over rate, I see the high turnover as a positive because it shows that the poor workers and lazy folks get weeded out pretty quickly in my mind. In my store now which has been open for 11 years there are more than a dozen employees who have been there since before the store opened.
The opportunity if you take it to be active in community issues on behalf of the company. Walmart encourages associates to be involved and through out the year there are chances to go to local food shelters,take part in walks or marathons,raise funds for cmn and much much more.
Training used to be a huge issue, many long term employees have nightmare stories of when they were thrown in the deep end with no training,now with the academies and cbls and pathways that is a thing of the past. We actually might get too much training now
Schedules made 3 weeks in advance so you could schedule appointments and such.
The ability to promote within very quickly! It is possible to promote every 6 months.
Cons: No control over who is hired if your a supervisor you just have to deal with what you get and sometimes depending on who is interviewing they have poor ideas of a good candidate. Basically if they show up they can get hired which leads to the high turnover rate.
No control over the scheduling, again this is a supervisors pain, I have had cashiers scheduled 5 nights a week that didn’t produce results very well, they were to interested in chatting or walking around to stay at their registers and work. I would get those guys way to often and the ones who were amazing at their jobs not enough.
Cookie cutter mentality, Walmart finds what works and works well and rolls it out to all the stores like a cookie cutter but not all of our stores are the same. Many times through the years my store has struggled with how to follow the clearly defined path when we are so much smaller .
