Cashier (Current Employee)

6.5.2021, Job Location: Medina, OH
Walmart can and will hire anybody at their retail stores who can stand or walk all day. The starting pay in my area is better than average for walking in the door knowing nothing.

However, due to management or corporate, often problems evident to everyone are never fully corrected. Not enough people working in each department, equipment that often doesn't work correctly, and inconsistent rule enforcement is common. This deflates employee's enthusiasm and commitment to the company. In some cases, not mine fortunately, employees were told their days or hours off would be honored as agreed, then they were scheduled to work anyway. The employee was then not able to work another job, or care for a loved one, or go to class. When this happens, it explains the turnover.

The upside is that they do often promote from within and I know of several fellow employees who have changed positions within our store. Many are happier in their new role. Most of the customers are great, and are patient enough if an issue can get resolved in a reasonable time. Most other employees are very helpful and I work with a lot of good people. If you can put up with the lack of support from management and corporate, you can really move up in this company. Not for me anymore, though, I'm planning on leaving.

Personal Shopper (Former Employee)

24.4.2021, Job Location: Tucson, AZ
The job itself isn’t bad, the main problem here is management and how little they care about their employees. At my location, there’s been multiple times when we’ve had to either cancel orders or have ridiculous wait times because we don’t have enough people to dispense or pick the orders. Despite this, management keeps increasing our order limit because this leads to them getting bonuses even if they know we don’t have enough people or equipment to get those orders ready and therefore cause terrible stress on all of us.

There’s always new people because everyone ends up quitting and this leads to so many mistakes that just make us get behind. The training is a joke, they just have new people shadow us for a day and then they’re on their own after that. Management acts like they’re there to help but will yell and get frustrated when someone makes a mistake. One of the managers is always yelling and being rude to dispensers when they’re behind on wait times and instead of helping or finding a way to get caught up, she just throws a fit and leaves.

Don’t even get me started on the favoritism, it’s ridiculous. So many people that are close to the managers get to do whatever they want, they even disappear for long periods of time and no one says anything.

This job is just not worth it, unless you really need a job then I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Overnight Team Lead (Former Employee)

14.4.2021, Job Location: Crosby, TX
The quality of working for Walmart as an hourly associate, manager or salaried manager depends entirely on the upper management culture at the specific store you work at. No matter what, with the current changes coming down from corporate, work will be chaotic every day and you have to respond to the chaos as best as you can, which is common in most retail jobs, but is getting worse at Walmart in 2020 during the changes to management.

If you can get into a store that is well managed, then you'll have an opportunity to learn, promote and grow within the company. It will always be a high stress job to manage or work easily if you work hard and socialize, but how manageable that is will change dramatically if you find yourself in one of the many stores that are poorly managed.

A Walmart store with poor upper management can be absolutely vicious and a high-school level political minefield to work in. Some stores can absolutely be soul-draining as you work hard just to have salaried managers steal credit for your work or blame you for their own mistakes. The amount of work required for some Team Lead roles such as overnight are so heavy that you're truly better off finding another management position at another company for higher pay to go with the workload and pace of the job. $22 an hour to run an entire shift by yourself while simultaneously performing extremely physical work while fighting just to have working equipment just isn't high enough, which is why I decided to take my skills elsewhere.

Staff Pharmacist (Current Employee)

6.4.2021, Job Location: Salem, OR
For a chain pharmacy, they do a good job of setting up procedures to prevent mistakes and support you. Compared to what I hear from colleagues at Walgreens and CVS, they staff better too. However, it is more difficult to branch out and take advantage of state specific protocols since they like to keep things as uniform as possible and send everything through legal.

As far as general experience, I have worked at good stores and ones with some irritating problems. Like with any job, who you work with is a huge part of job satisfaction. I think most of issues you might have working for Wal-Mart come from bad co-workers. When you have good managers and district managers, problem employees will be given plenty of opportunities and resources to correct deficiencies; and in bad cases fired (other than the fact you don’t have a union representative for interactions with management, you will get similar treatment as if you were in a union since managers will document these interactions and make sure you are aware of the potential consequences). Problems usually come when managers have not done a good job of setting and enforcing expectations.

Front End Cashier (Former Employee)

6.4.2021, Job Location: Louisville, KY
Walmart does not care about you.

Management will mistreat you heavily. Scheduling is a nightmare and getting a day off is a struggle, even when requested way in advance regardless of the reason for needing off. Your schedule can/will be changed at the last minute without your knowledge and you will get in trouble for not knowing. Your schedule can/will also list you for times you’ve informed management and HR over and over again that you cannot work. They don’t care. There is a lot of petty actions by management and coworkers alike and it’s always understaffed.

Customers usually come in prepared to hate you and treat you terribly. That is the most positive part of the job.

The physical toll the job has on your body in ANY position within the store is atrocious. For example, I have chronic back pain from working as a cashier for only 7 months at the age of 16.

There are essentially no bonuses and the annual raise isn’t noteworthy. You will also be lucky to get all of your breaks, or at least all of your breaks in full. The attendance system is also always pressured on you and severely strict, to the point of being unbearably stressful.

Electronics Sales Associate (Former Employee)

4.3.2021, Job Location: Streator, IL
Policies are flawed with respect to the company as a whole and due to the large employee pool misinformation about policy change or anything similar is rampant. The pay is OK and generally remains at-average or competitive to the area. PTO accrual is decent if you are full time and other benefits are decent, although newer hires do not receive dedicated vacation time.

It is extremely hard to advance higher in the company ladder and due to multiple restructures and eliminations of multiple upper-level management positions, it has become even harder in the last five years. At my facility, favoritism was rampant as was micromanagement. The company loves to cut employee hours when they overspend on other areas of the budget. Schedules are generally flexible but they try and scare you in to having open availability.

Specifically, being back in Electronics, I was often expected to run sporting goods, paint counter, and garden center additionally. This is extremely overwhelming and was a result of poor attention to detailing during scheduling or because of the aforementioned cutting of hours.

Overnight Stocker (Former Employee)

25.2.2021, Job Location: Bellingham, MA
I started out as an overnight general merchandise stocker. I was fortunate to have a great overnight ASM. I learned a lot as far as retail and it was a good experience for me for the first 2 years. At the end of 2 years my ASM left and her replacement was not the same. Things began to go downhill and six months after that night shift was taken away.

I became a DM for the next 6 months and without night shift it was basically miserable for everyone. When I started as a dm I was informed "I " had 30 pallets in the back and a trailer out in the back parking lot. As I pulled spring clearance off of the trailer Christmas was coming in and I was given no associate to help. Cap 1 and cap 2 never even made it to the apparel side of the building.

We all stocked our own freight and still were taken to help in other departments. A month after Christmas, after I had gotten it done, I was then told that my priorities were f'd up because I had done exactly what they told me, while doing price changes etc. Nothing was good enough. They say it is like a family. It truly is, a dysfunctional abusive family.

By the end I felt as though they worked you hard and kept you off balance so you wouldn't have the time or energy to even think about looking for another job. It reminds me of the song "Hotel California " by the Eagles. I think my original good feeling had to do with the one exceptional manager and without her, forget it.

Asset Protection Associate (Current Employee)

17.2.2021, Job Location: Jasper, AL
Not a bad place to work if you need the income, overall the company itself is alright and tries to go the extra step for their employees, but that doesn't always go as planned.

When I first started here, one of the biggest things that was stressed to me by other associates was the lack of structure within the store. This hasn't been a huge issue for me yet, but it's obvious that it's true to some extent. You hardly ever get breaks or lunches on time, if you even get either breaks.

The store manager is nowhere to be seen, and I have yet to meet him, even after several months of being employed with Walmart. Coaches rarely enforce rules that really matter, but are quick to nitpick things that are out of their responsibility. Just general stuff of that nature. However, it's a laid back job for the most part.

Everyone in my department gets along usually and I've met some pretty great people here so far. The two biggest issues would be constantly being understaffed, and entitled customers that think what they say is law. Overall, if you have decently thick skin and are willing to just show up, you can go pretty far here.

Ecommerce Personal Shopper (Former Employee)

3.2.2021, Job Location: North Port, FL
Almost all of the management team at my location were chosen because of their closeness to the store manager and not on their actual effectiveness, worked in what should have been the easiest department (OGP) and with proper duties and roles being known and assigned it would have been.

Instead they just let everyone come in and do whatever they want until someone starts failing then they take 99% of the team and put them on that task until the others fail and move everyone over to the other parts. The people getting left after those 99% go to whatever is failing are always the best workers and they end up having to do a teams job all by themselves most of the time. The asm over OGP at my store fired people once they knew they would put in a 2 week notice so they wouldn't mess up the turnaround, regardless of the fact we needed all the bodies we could get. not that you would know until you've worked your whole day anyways.

He also must have used a spinning dart board with times on them to come up with schedules because nobody with a brain could have possibly come up with a customer service department all having lunches and breaks at the same time leaving 1 person to deal with 23 customers at a time.

Assistant Supervisor (Former Employee)

15.1.2021, Job Location: Hazel Dell, WA
Was typically short handed to achieve daily tasks thanks to certain greedy dept managers who only care about their own necks. working hard consistently will not get you anywhere as there is not much chance for advancement and even a job well done goes unrewarded and generally not recognized by upper management.

Pay is very poor and the work is very hard. the culture is very clique with a lot of favoritism, scandals and in-fighting between depts. very strict rules and policies. there are some good managers and employees but its hit and miss and they include a lot of slackers and big egos. seems they will hire and retain anyone even if they arent doing their job and then expect you to take up the slack.

They harp on about treating their employees with respect - i rarely saw it nor was it encouraged. everyone seems to be in survival mode but on the flip side many recognized that fact and were sympathetic to one another watching each others backs so it is fair to say there is a sense of belonging and family within smaller groups/depts.

Those people were my favorite part of the job as we all felt like we were in the same boat. never worked so hard for so little while feeling so unappreciated. BUT, they will hire anyone so if you're desperate for income you have a good chance.

Seasonal Worker (Former Employee)

13.1.2021, Job Location: Union City, GA
In the beginning, I was apprehensive about working at Walmart after reading the reviews, but working there was a lot better than what I expected. There were definitely some young and immature team leads and management needs to do a better job of not recruiting these types of people. However, there were also some great managers and team leads as well.

My goal was to just steer clear of the immature ones as much as possible. Overall, this was a production environment and this made the job not fun anymore for me. This employer wants you to meet production goals, but do not always provide everything needed to be consistently successful in this role. Either lessen the production goals or make sure that your workers have every single thing that they need to be successful.

Also, production should be based on orders completed not items completed. Many times we had too walk around for supplies or constantly ask for certain supplies. Machines would break down and had to be fixed on a regular basis. Also, there were a lack of orders and sometimes, work would be slow or non-existent.

Also, the radio played hard-core rap at times and inappropriate commercials and rap songs at times with profanity and this was not conducive to a good work environment. Need to also address employees who were extremely loud and raucous and used profanity as well.

Other than that work environment was good in terms of lighting, space, cleanliness (when it was cleaned), except need soap in bathrooms when soap dispensers broke often. Also, need more individual fans during hotter times on floor.

Overnight Stocker (Former Employee)

6.1.2021, Job Location: Columbia, SC
i worked at walmart for almost 5 years. I was really excited at first but it quickly evaporated when i saw that it didn't matter how hard you worked or how good your attendance was. It mattered if you stroked the managers egos.

There is only about 25% of the staff that work hard and care about the work they do. Also most people treat the customers like trash...even the managers. If the managers weren't 22 year old college grads with ZERO retail experience and would actually listen to the staff that has been there longer than them, they would learn something. Instead they act like they know everything and they have a giant chip on their shoulders.

VERY UNFAIR treatment. Management and personal will lie to your face and pretend they know the answer when they do not...just to get you to stop asking and go away. Corporate also recently got rid of several positions with almost no notice and no lateral positions to move into.

People that have been there 20-30 years just toyed around like they were nothing more than a damaged piece of freight that fell off the truck. If you are lazy and want a paycheck with a couple of sick days a year, this is the place for you. If you are a hard worker and expect to move up the ranks quickly...go to target.

Maintenance (Former Employee)

2.1.2021, Job Location: Greeley, CO
I have worked at 2 stores during my tenure with Walmart, and have visited 4 others for training or various projects. All stores are different, and it all comes down to the management team. In theory, the benefits and protection that workers get from the company itself would make the company a great place to work at.

However, some of the management teams you can get stuck with do more than just make the experience bad (as is often the case; no one loves to be pushed around). Sometimes, it feels as if the management teams go out of their way to make you feel less than a cog in the machine. You could work the hardest you’ve ever worked in your life, and with some stores, your efforts will be recognized and you will climb up the ladder. In other stores, you could do the same thing, but the management teams will pick on one of your weak areas and cite that as a reason you are a bad employee.

If you are considering a job, however, I wouldn’t be dissuaded. There are moments you can create and experiences you can have at Walmart that you won’t find anywhere else, and the benefits are unexpectedly great.

Cashier & Front End Services (Former Employee)

28.12.2020, Job Location: Lompoc, CA
I worked at Walmart for over a month and was disappointed at the way management treated cashiers. Most managers at the Lompoc Walmart were rude and disrespectful at times for no reason . The upfront mangers lack to teach you register skills and command codes before leaving you alone at a register.

You basically have to fend for yourself and learn alone as you go. Walmart lacks proper training on the registers which is vital in order to checkout customers. Management here soured the job for me as they were out of line at times and were hesitant to help you when needed. Not to mention that they would get mad at you for not knowing how to do your job correctly.

They would leave you alone at self checkouts with a TC device where you could get ahold of management but they either never responded back to your help request or would respond really late . On more than one instance I witnessed the mangers get my message and completely ignore it. Another big issue here is that management gives out conflicting orders, for example you can be told to do something by a specific CSM(manager) and then be told by another CSM that what you're doing completely wrong.

In the end I think that the job itself as a cashier wasn't too bad ,it was just management that ruined it for me.

Sales Associate (Current Employee)

15.12.2020, Job Location: Kansas City, MO
When I got hired for a job as a sales associate back in 2015, I was really excited and nervous. Along the way, I developed confidence and the skills needed to perform my tasks and (my favorite part about the workplace) getting to know the people along the way and forging special relationships leading to friendships beyond the workplace.

Fast forward to 2020. The store is NOT what it used to be, at least in my eyes. You have store management working in a way that feels mechanic, less responsive with concerns you may have, and auto engaged (with some acting outright as total authoritarians), the quality of the interior in some parts has let itself go, and it's not long until you're annoyed by the deluge of customers looking for certain products while in the midst of performing your own job. You're even constantly pulled away to cover other areas making up for the absence of those who normally cover those spots, so you get nothing done in your area at all.

The company, I would say, is a good starting point for those fresh out of high school and college and who are just looking for any old paying job (me in 2015), but in terms of the long haul career wise, they, and with any retailer, unless you're thoroughly qualified, passionate and genuinely motivated to make a career out of it, it can get very cumbersome, very difficult, and just plain aggravating to the point where you're ready to pivot somewhere else. With what I am currently experiencing, the wage, along with its benefits, is not worth it. After 5 years, I'm more than ready to move on and forward.

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee)

26.11.2020, Job Location: Waco, TX | November 26, 2020
Higher pay than most places. 11.50 to start off as cashier and more so to work in Curbside. Many employees I knew were fresh out of high school within a year or so, others were already graduated with non-usable degree or older. It was easy work for what you did. Customer service skills are needed for interacting with people of all types at the front of the store and knowledge of the items within the store for other areas.

The most effort you will spend doing is chatting with other associates and navigating your way through store gossip. Work culture is different in different area Walmarts but associates are generally very chatty from all stores. Sociability is a must and if you're elderly, fresh out of high school and wanting a higher paying job or stuck with a useless degree, this job is for you. Not very difficult work, very leisurely and most of the time you're either interacting with other associates or customers.

Also the company will definitely pay for your tuition or partial tuition, so for any young or future associates at Walmart, be sure to ask your HR about those benefits if you're looking to further your education.

Cashier (Former Employee)

18.11.2020, Job Location: Prescott, AZ
It was better than I thought. Management was good but the team leads were bossy and not always nice. I had people who had been there for 10 years making a dollar over minimum wage and Management making a few dollars over. Its not good pay until you get super high up into salary pay. Then I heard you have no life.

My walmart was friendly staff except a few team leads. High turnover rate. They worked with my schedule, and everything was consistent and made me feel welcomed. I think it really depends on the store, because I had a friend who worked at Prescott Valley and she said they were not willing to work with her schedule and were more strict and not as friendly. I didn't like having an hour lunch, because I just wanted to get home earlier and it was unpaid.

I heard that the benefits are good. I also think that it's fun to work with the public and meet all different types of people. I also liked being a cashier because its very busy and time flew by. They also are very good at giving breaks. They give you a break every 2 hours. I have worked jobs where they give ypu no breaks so I'm happy to see walmart actually gives breaks consistently.

Overall it's a good job for a person starting out, or a student. I think it would take a long time to make decent money at walmart and you will have to get pretty lucky as there's few high paying jobs and lots of employees fighting for the positions.

Order Filler (Former Employee)

4.11.2020, Job Location: Fontana, CA
There is no job security at walmart human resources ivonne and verna from the walmart in fontana are condescending and unprofessional. They are rude and are always looking to fire people so they can hire cheaper labor.

The managers themselves are all in kahoots with HR. No matter how hard you work if they feel some type a way they will start to stack points against you. The wrongfuly accused me of stealing time and refused to do a proper investigation like reviewing cameras and taking states from witnesses. I clocked out wrong by mistake. They tried saying I did it on purpose and that there was no record of me even trying to swipe my badge. I did my job I was top picker.

The one day I decided to go in for over time on a day I was not scheduled and hours I was not used to inputting I was fired for punching out 2 hours after my actual scheduled time off. Yvonne pulled me to the offer and accused me of stealing time. She was rude and had an attitude. I tried to fight it and 20 minutes later she had already processed the paperwork to fire me effective immediately for gross misconduct. This ruin my life.

I had to restart, find a new job. I was forced to claim unemployment because no jobs were paying as much as I was making. I went from 20 an hour to 16 an hour because Yvonne and Verna from Walmart distribion failed to do their job. While manager ronnie let it happen. I have never worked with such evil and difficult HR representatives in my life. There no job security here. You can get fired at any moment especially when your making more that 20 and hour.

Customer Service Specialist, bakery, cap team member (Former Employee)

27.10.2020, Job Location: Aberdeen, WA
While working there they took away our ability to use our sick pay for when our dependents got ill and we needed to take off, they made it very difficult to use pay we already accumulated. I was on maternity leave after 2 years of work, and they sent me a dismissal paper claiming I didn't have an approved application for leave after I was already approved.

I received it a day after delivering my son, they revoked it after I proved my approval and reinstated everything back to normal. The managers are mixed some are awesome and understanding while another threatened my job when I left work because my husband just had a heart attack. Another manager tried to force me to undermine ethics and morality to save a few cents.

Many who work there see their job as only what is in their description and won't work together to make their department shine. While some will work together and do what it takes, I believe this happens because the company treats you like you are easily replaceable. Working here you will most likely be cross trained and learn alot, the pay is better the longer you stay and that is why some stay.

I ultimately left due to unsanitary practices being forced on me and reported it many times....I resigned after the reports went no where, but not before reporting directly to the store manager. I will probably never work for Walmart again unless it's a position to keep practices healthy and safe.

Walmart tends to work well with your schedule for the most part. As a student I can lay out my availability according to my class schedule and they will typically stick to it. However, the attendance policy leaves much to be desired.

You are allowed 4.5 points/ call ins before you are fired and they drop off 6 months after the date. However there are things that come up more than just 8 times a year, not to mention getting sick. On top of that, you get a my share bonus, which depends on the amount of points you have, so you are punished for being sick or other priorities yet again.

You can accumulate Paid time off, but this is hard to do as a part time associate, as it is based off of the number of hours you work. Management is awful, my direct manager is nice and does a fantastic job, but she is constantly under stress and having to stay late, because upper management is always yelling at her. Those of us who can actually do our jobs correctly are always having to pick up the slack of those who do not, yet receive no recognition for our job well done.

Somehow Walmart has found a way to make a grocery store political. If you aren’t one of the “cool” kids you’re going to get treated differently than others. You can advance quickly through Walmart, but caution advancement is practically signing over your life and soul to Walmart. Overall, if you’re someone who likes to do your job and do it well, I caution you in accepting a job at Walmart unless you want it as a career, because they will take your work ethic and run you into the ground.

Favoritism is an ongoing problem, but that’s in almost every major corporation. There are 3 managers in the OGP department, and when they are needed you can never seem to find any of them. Walmart will deny any and all requests you take off for any reason from sick to funeral attendance.

You will get points for every informed a sense, tardy, etc. and they add up into an unlawful point system that you will constantly be threatened with. Overall, it is easy enough work. However, management does not utilize their resources efficiently. There is not enough equipment (TCs, printers, bags for the items, carts, etc.) for all of the employees to use. Management does not want to deal with customers and almost never assist with any situation or complaint from a customer.

Upper management coaches OGP management for mistakes they make, then OGP management will then turn around and blame the hard working associates for their mistakes. The safety violations in the back are too much to list, and when there are rushes of 8+ cars ready to receive their order, management will place 1 dispenser and have other co-workers helping an entirely different department stocking.

All management does is pick exceptions, meaning when you cannot an item while picking, they go back out and find something similar to it. That’s all they do. And they have 3 managers at a time doing it. They do not deserve to get paid for what they do when their employees are doing the hard labor. You will be paid $11.50/hr. which isn’t bad, but 80% of the time is not worth the bs you have to put up with.

Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee)

25.9.2020, Job Location: Crestwood, KY
Took me a MONTH to get hired, and after I got in the boss tried to get rid of me IMMEDIATELY, I got written up on my third day. If you don't instantly click with the other pharmacy techs on day one you are already out the door. The work Environment is the most toxic i have ever experienced in entire time in the work force.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE PHARMACY TECH ROLE DONT APPLY HERE, THEY DO NOT LIKE TRAINING NEW PEOPLE.

If you are like any normal person on the planet who doesn't have a photographic memory and need to be shown something for than just a millisecond, and you ask questions they WILL be mad at you and they will fire you within your first few weeks for not understanding and there is little to no training, they just expect you to know it, even as a new pharmacy tech. They will talk about you behind your back and gossip will impact whether you keep your job or not.

The pharmacist intentionally and admittingly watched me on the cameras for hours to catch me slipping up and to get anything to use against me, that's how dedicated these people are to getting rid you of you. They set you up for failure.

TL;DR: There is literally 0 job security. $12.50 an hour is not worth the immense stress, pressure, and anxiety you are put through and that's the gospel truth.

This is literally the worst place to get your start in the pharmacy world you're better off working at pizza hut at least they treat you with some dignity.

Work-life balance
The balance between work and your everyday life you try your hardest to just get through the week and get out of there as soon as possible

Pay & benefits
You dont get sick days you get ppto protected paid time off and you only get 48 hours of it for the year

Job security and advancement
You can get to almost any department but thats becaus3 we have such a high turn over rate not many people last because they keep people who dont do any work or leech off of what you do and basically make you quit out of frustration

Management
Dont get me wrong there are some nice people in management but how they run things they dont care about the employees they do the minimum to keep the stire going so they're job is good they dont really care how they treat the other employees

Culture
Everyone is at each others throats because of high stress and the pressure from management to do an inhuman amount of work in a short time qith little to no help

Overall
I doubt all walmarts are like this but the store in rapid are aweful poor work environment poor management high stress and lack of motivation due to the fact we cant afford to loose anyone but there are people taking advantage of that and not doing anything and leeching off of other peoples work and management roles with it.

Stocker (Former Employee)

5.9.2020, Job Location: St. Robert, MO
I worked nightshift at St Robert Missouri. Nightshirt here is toxic. I used to sit in my car at breaks. One night, when the manager was off, I heard all the girls gossiping and making fun of someone with back problems. I find that unacceptable.

If a colleague has back problems, why laugh and joke about it? Is it funny if I laugh and joke about your problems? The assistant manager constantly micromanaged and harassed all night long. I worked in frozen and dairy. One night Courtney would tell us that it is ok to unload two pallets of frozen foods (over or around 6ft high pallets). It was ok to leave these frozen foods out of the freezer over our break. So, frozen foods, under Courtney's watch, could be left out for over 2 hours. The week later this would change.

Only dairy could be out for 15 minutes BUT if it was overstock (too much to place on the shelf) then it could stay out until break or lunch(about 2 hours). So food that is placed in the fridges must be placed in within 15 minutes, but excess can be left for hours? What kind of idiot? Yum , yum, yum. The constant harassment, bullying, and disregard to human respect was too much.

Plus, when you inform management of an availability change, don't expect that to last. I have university classes Monday and Tuesday. The change of schedule lasted 3 weeks. That helps no one. Stay away from nightshift St Robert. You're life will be made terrible by a bullying micromanager, and you will witness disgusting health and safety practices.

Asset Protection Specialist (Former Employee)

30.8.2020, Job Location: Barboursville, WV
The good - They allow you to purchase items with a twenty percent off discount once a year for Christmas. The pay is so low that this seems like adding salt to a wound. I really don't have much good to say about the company. Every four months, you might get a $100 bonus if the manager doesn't use the money to paint his office or buy new equipment for the store something.

The bad - Management hides in their offices all day. You never know who your boss is. Training is a joke. Some customers are very rude, and supervisors and management reward them for their behavior.

People who have worked there for years, even a decade or more, may find out that the new hires that they are training are being hired in at a higher starting wage than they worked so hard to build up.

Insurance sucked. I paid about a hundred dollars a month for it, and still had bills for hundreds-of-dollars any time I went to the doctor for routine visits. And remember that pay sucked too, so it was very difficult to pay these bills.

They find ways to make it seem like they are giving employees something, when they are actually taking away benefits.

Computers and devices often do not work right, and the customers get irate when you can't do your job to help them.

I could go on and on. We Live In Poverty So You Can Save Money and Live Better at Walmart. This Is That Place.
