Walmart reviews

After working many years at the grocery distribution center in Clarksville AR in various positions I can state the following: Management at this facility is useless. Virtually all upper level management is an 'old boys' network of favoritism and mostly keeping the seat of a chair warm. In handling of the commodities at this grocery center there is literally no attention to maintaining quality in all perishable or dry goods. Everything is about how fast you work, not about work ethic nor quality. The amount of product damage and waste in this facility is horrendous. The operations management group in particular is comprised of local people who have been with the company many years and are merely padding their paycheck. Suggestions for better ways to maintain quality, improve efficiency, and reduce waste are completely ignored. Good workers are fired all the time simply because they aren't liked or disagree with the way something is being done. Wal Mart could do a much better job of managing it's business and providing good value to the employee and the consumer.

The SM will berate associates on the sales floor in a loud voice. I've seen it in person and heard it several aisles away. They are perfectly pleasant when Corporate has a walk through. TL's/Coaches have been instructed to have associates ignore Company procedures. It's mandated that we fudge the metrics on a daily basis so the store looks better on paper. Cheating is encouraged. Shame on Walmart for supporting this culture.
