Walmart reviews

Wal-Mart is notorious for cutting all full-time, non-management positions. This didn't really effect me since I wanted part-time employment. However, I know of several people who had nothing else but Wal-Mart and suddenly their wages were cut and they found themselves without insurance. There are a few really good managers who would go out of their way to help any associate at any time of the day with whatever was going on. The majority of managers it seems where unfit for the tasks that their job presented.

unpredictable schedule (but Wal-Mart is 24/7 retail so that's the nature of it). if you are part-time (and most are, especially at first) there will be times when you get very little hours. pay is very, very low which makes it difficult to stay long term. My store's turnover goal was 66%, actual turnover was 82%! benefits are ok but most of the associates can't afford to participate in them. associate discount isn't store wide and you never know which items are eligible. you use your discount card when you buy something and sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't.
