Warehouse Associate (Former Employee)

10.8.2020, Job Location: Shawano, WI

Where do I even start? Is it the constant rush from managers to finish your work, right before they walk off and do nothing for the rest of the day? Doesn't really matter now that I have addressed at least one issue. Management. If you want an Apples to Apples comparison just imagine prison guards at Guantanamo bay!

The HR lady was very nice but she reeked of carrots. I worked cap 1 sooooo, you get to work from 4am to 1pm. You will spend the first hour in a freezer pretty much. Your team will be very essential to getting your work done on time.

However expect no respect from other teams, cap 2, bakery, Apparel, etc. They will leave messes for you, or create them and then yell at you for moving all their trash over so you can complete your work. One day I was dropping which means I am the one who takes the pallet jack and picks up the loads and delivers them to the floor/isles. Bakery stacked all their boxes against one of my pallets and it all spilt over and I got yelled at!

PS: ALL THE BAKERY ASSOCIATES ARE BRAIN SURGENS! Otherwise you will have a very pleasant time dealing with rude customers who will interrupt you at all times, you can also enjoy getting no days off because they hate you and your families. One more thing, you will not receive any benefits until you have survived that sh*twhole for at least 6 months. Peace out dawg!

Overnight Stock Associate (Former Employee)

2.8.2020, Job Location: Miami, OK | August 2, 2020

Nothing about working at Walmart is difficult. The work is easy to learn and do. The problem is management and the culture of sycophancy that they cultivate on purpose. Coworkers throw each other under the bus just to make themselves look good or avoid trouble from management.

Management will harass you about your speed at performing your tasks. They’ll stare you down, speak to you rudely, play favoritism with others while treating you like you don’t work, spy on you from around corners or from a distance and think you don’t notice and hold grudges against you if you stand up for yourself. It’s a very toxic work environment only for the cutthroat or very determined to endure.

The work itself is fine but it is labor intensive and you will hurt yourself if you listen to management and try to go at their speed. There are better jobs. In ten years I only got the equivalent of a 50 cent raise because new hires began to start at $11 while I was making $11.50 after ten years of breaking my back and being bullied by management.

I was moved to different departments and shifts against my will. I was harassed by a particular manager and tried to use the open door policy but the store manager just doesn’t care. Very poor management and a very disorganized place to work. Very toxic work environment and laughable compensation. Not worth your time, especially the Miami OK store.

Academy Trainer (Current Employee)

17.7.2020, Job Location: Clemmons, NC

Walmart is heavy on SOP, or in their language, One Best Way. They have every aspect of most jobs laid out for you. Everyday you will have an ordered list of tasks to do and times for how long those tasks should take.

The vast majority of the work is simple and even enjoyable on occasion. Problems will arise not from the actual work but from communication and relationships with coworkers and customers - both of which can often become tense, awkward or even confrontational.

Walmart has an abundance of management. You will have various salaried managers, leaders in various departments, and you'll get frequent visits from market and regional teams. Trying to juggle all the expectations and demands of the multitude of leaders (which can often conflict with one another or with One Best Way) can be both stressful and frustrating.

If you are willing to deal with the stress and perform through it, there are plenty of promotional opportunities.. Hard workers do get recognized. Workers who are reliable, available and productive typically are awarded full time status within a year or two of their hire date. There are also bonuses given out quarterly for stores hitting sales and customer service goals.

Overall Walmart is what you make of it. The pay is low for most positions and most associates are part time. That said you can promote. Supervisors can earn 30k-40k annually and those positions are numerous. The work is not difficult. It can be stressful. The hours vary tremendously based on position. I would highly recommend taking a position with a morning shift if available.

Sales Associate (Former Employee)

3.7.2020, Job Location: Ottawa, OH

My typical day at Walmart is I come in clock in get my stuff that I need and put the rest in my locker they provide for me, then go to the computer and do some online work which is did that for a month while I started working there.

Then when I was done with them I go to the area I applied for which was the Fabric and Craft are seen my trainer done some training for an hour or so then do some stocking till lunch and then did the same after when I was done just did some zoning which is to organize areas the are out of place or pull items from the back or fine products that don't belong there/in that area and put them in there right place. I do all that the rest of the time of my shift till leave to go home.

What was hard about the job was the shipment schedule's whenever the trucks come in I never know when they normally would go back to get the stuff to put out on the stock or when there's stuff over stocked in shelves the sections I never know the right place to take them cause that item been moved out or they rearrange the stuff in the back.

Another thing that was hard was the scanners/the price maker I never knew much about them cause no one taught me before till like a month in a half working on the floor that some taught me when they were training in another area of the store. Management people were nice though they were hardly there though when I needed help with somethings cause they'd be in their office or in some other part of the store.

Mod Team Associate (Former Employee)

29.6.2020, Job Location: Millville, NJ

First and foremost: before taking this job I had not left my house in over two months and was healthy. A week and a half after orientation I got so sick I was out of work for 3 weeks and had to be tested for covid. I was negative but could not return to work until I was symptom free. During orientation the HR manager continuously kept taking down and playing with her mask while we were in a small room with two other trainee's.

They don't take the virus seriously. My team manager was awesome, but other department leads were hit and miss. A lot of them were rude or spoke down to you. Upper management was a mess, during my time managers were actively quitting or walking off the job due to the store leader/store manager. The break room has a sign telling you to social distance but the HR leader consistently breaks the guidelines by having a huge group eat with her at lunch every day and thus putting everyone at risk. I was also accused of stealing when they hadn't even checked the case where equipment is stored before confronting me.

The machine was where it was supposed to be and the associate responsible for keeping tabs of that stuff was rude to me. They work you to the bone and there's chaos constantly. They pay you bare minimum while the hike calling you a "hero" over walmart radio all day. Don't waste your time.

Sales Associate (Former Employee)

10.6.2020, Job Location: Greenville, MI

I have worked in three different stores in Michigan, under 6 Store Managers. Only one felt having a clean receiving area was more important than having a clean sales floor. My Asst Manager supported this, and encouraged over stocking of displays and stuffing the shelves just to empty the back room.

Knowing that by doing so would create a messy sales floor. In the apparel department, this is a very bad idea, customers don't pick items up off the floor, they drive their carts over the top of it! Once marked, or damaged in any way, must be donated or tossed due to damage. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE management of company property! All Department Managers work 7 to 4 without question! Even if there was a need for management during later hours. As the closing Asst. Manager generally is not available when needed.

The employees form a close bond with one another for support, and better training that was not given from Department Management.

However, not all stores or managers are this way, do your research, ask questions of the employees before applying. Employees will tell you the way it is at their stores. The general consensus from many is, Walmart is a great place to work! And with the exception of one store, I would agree! Most of my time with Walmart was an excellent experience! My management was good, I was never left hanging with a ton of stuff to clean up after they had gone for the day. Job assignments were clearly stated, each sub-department was covered by another member of the department.

Overnight Stocker/ Customer Service (Current Employee)

4.6.2020, Job Location: Delmont, PA

From what I have noticed and heard from other associates, the owner of the store has no clue how to be a manager. The associates can be quite rude and not care about their jobs. 2nd shift has no sort of management and they leave a mess for overnight associates and maintenance to clean up and fix. For overnight, the managers and supervisors do not show any appreciation for their associates.

They take their work stress out on the associates by pushing them more to where they cannot work any better than they are doing, and our work never seems to be enough for them. I have worked my butt off every day and still get treated like I did not do anything or like the associates that actually did nothing all shift while I picked up their slack. The overnight managers also love to keep people that do not work or break rules just because ""it is a body"" to have around, and they love putting those people in dairy (mainly) because there are multiple people working there already, so there are people to accommodate for their lack of work. People push themselves too much for the amount of work and lack of appreciation that this store has.

I understand the stress that goes on in running a store and managing it, but the way they deal with it is not the proper way. It stresses out everyone too much to the point where no one wants to work there anymore.

I do feel appreciated with the coworkers in my shift which keeps me going.

Shelf Stocker (Current Employee)

19.5.2020, Job Location: Whitinsville, MA

While this is a great company to get you started out on your carrer, you will quickly realize that there is alot wrong with it. Number one being the almost complete lack of communication; 3/10 days they will have a schedule on the wall telling you what to do (admittedly, they've been getting better at this), but, for those other 7 days you have to randomly guess what you're supposed to stock and stock those items until a manager comes and gives you a talking to because you're wasting shift time on a job you weren't supposed to be doing that day. It's been especially apparent with Covid-19, where they don't report the number of people infected in a store unless you are in that position, thus making it difficult to know how dangerous working there actually is.

Number two is unrealistic expectations; every retailer is guilty of expecting too much out of an employee, as a 16 year-old, they expect me to be able to take down a 9-foot tall pallet mainly consisting of: pasta sauce, mac and cheese, and peanut butter (Which all go in different aisles, by the way) in a grand total of 45 minutes to an hour, which is near impossible to do in a team, never mind when you're by yourself. If you don't mind those things like I do, though, this is the perfect job for you.

Cashier/Self-Checkout Host (Current Employee)

14.5.2020, Job Location: Nampa, ID

They change their policy many times, to fit their needs and customers needs only. They company and managers do not value employees unless that employee follows everything to a T. The customer service manages or "team Leaders" do not trust employees at all, and on occasion the mangers, if problems arise with customers.

They let customers verbally abuse and almost physical abuse to the employees. You must work weekends and be available to work nights. You must give three weeks in advance to get days off, and that's not a guarantee either. Must work Thanksgiving day and black Friday events that happen on Thanksgiving night and on Friday as well, to get their coupon of 15% along with your normal discount of %10. The bonuses use to be based on shrinkage and little on attendance.

But now its based on attendance and if you have 4 points, you don't get anything. I find that its unfair on how they treat employees. They say they are family friendly, but when they put customers over employees, especially during confrontations, they aren't.

Truck Driver (OTR) (Former Employee)

2.5.2020, Job Location: Red Bluff, CA

I was a truck driver for Walmart and they could not care less about their drivers. They are pro-actively looking for ways to fire their drivers. They watch you on camera 24/7 from inside your truck and they monitor the outdoor cameras at every DC and store you stop at. The "safety managers" have every camera set up from their computers and they are watching you, contacting you with stupid nit picking complaints CONSTANTLY.

It is a hostile good ol' boys environment running rampant with racism. The pay is great but the disrespect and the police tactics is unbelievably stressful. No talking on your phone while driving for more than 10 minutes on each call. You get a total of 6 calls per day.

Automatic termination if you go over and yes, they are watching you on camera. They force you to hand over your phone so they can check your phone call times AND text messages. Even ONE text message during drive time and your instantly fired. They fire 2 people per week nationwide over phone call violations.

These people are like a police state. Very sad place to work.

Customer Service Desk Associate (Current Employee)

17.4.2020, Job Location: Monroe, GA

Working for Walmart is not for everyone. I admit that I took the job more out of desperation than I did actually wanting to continue working in retail. If you like working with the public on a daily basis and don't mind customers that can sometimes be rude and condescending, then you should be okay with a job at Walmart.

While managers usually have your back when it comes to the decisions you make, especially when dealing with customers who want to make returns or exchanges that are outside the return policy, that doesn't mean that they will enforce the policy. More often than not, they are more concerned with keeping customers happy than anything else, but this varies depending on the manager. If you're someone who appreciates consistency when it comes to decision making and following policies, I don't recommend this position.

Also, be aware that working at the customer service desk doesn't mean that your only responsibilities will be to help customers with returns, exchanges, and keeping the service area tidy. Even though most stores have separate Money Services counters, Service Desk associates are asked daily to help with these services, such as money orders, and MoneyGram transactions. You may also be asked to be a cashier or stock the shelves at the registers.

Apperal Associate (Former Employee)

11.4.2020, Job Location: Tucson, AZ | April 11, 2020

Walmart has a systemic flaw of upper management not only being unqualified but miserablly condescending to line staff. They have set up a system that keeps the iow end staff down and having unrealiistic goals for it linee staff through the practice of understaffing, ecpecting performances for demeaning paymment for work done.

The system works for upper mgmt by cutting staff hours, doubling, offen ttripling the load on the teams. This is done so that mgmt gets exorbitant bonuses based on screwing it's line staff. They also promote an environment of distrust and customer service policies which caters to haters andd nasty people.They are rewarded w gift certificates when they have behaved intolerably and staff is always the one punished by ghetto behavior by its customers.

Dogs walk freely through the aisles often urinating on clothing and lower level shelves. The corp. screws line staff out of their well earned bonuses through a system of the most petty offenses and w/o telling staff that they are keeping tabs covertly with it's point system. Tthere is no merit g iven no matter how good or hard one works keepingg only recorddings of minor infringements.

There.is no place at Walmartt for merit, not in salary nor treatment of it's employees..particularly its line staff.They are an evil empire...with its corporate by keeping them mistreateed, overworked and profitable.

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee)

1.4.2020, Job Location: Mesquite, TX | April 1, 2020

This being my first job, I kept my standards fair. That being said, working at Walmart was a bit of a disorganized mess that mostly hinged on employees who appeared to genuinely not want to be there. At first, I thought this was just because everyone had something else on their mind. Everyone's got something to worry about every now and then. But the further I went on in working, the more it started to dawn on me how the work ethic was like.

Despite how they present themselves as, Walmart employees were the most depressed and struggling workers I have ever seen. Most testimonies I've heard were about people who had high energy and gave 110% when they first started, only to discover that the establishment does not actually reward that. In some cases, you are even chastised for it.

What mattered was the quota. It did not matter how you completed it, just as long as you completed it, and that nothing broke. That sounds simple enough. However, no matter how well you performed your work, you could still get accused slowing down or being lazy.

That being said, I did not dislike the Managers or Assistant Managers. For all I know, they would be going through the same thing. But there was a disconnect between them and Customer Service. They would occasionally punish you for something that was outside of your control. The worst was when harsh criticism was used as a substitute for telling someone "good work today."

Overnight Stocker/Sales Associate (Former Employee)

27.3.2020, Job Location: East Peoria, IL

Worked at the EP, IL store for more than six months.

From the first week I was ridiculed and verbally abused by fellow employees and immediate supervision as well as non-essential personnel - including common use of profanity.

There is no work-life balance, you are expected to work all holidays no questions asked.

Job security is non-existent unless you learn and learn to a manipulate corporate policy, even then you're not safe.

When I complained to store manager about the bullying from supervision, supervision started watching my every move on the in-store cameras. They continue to do this until my termination sometime later.

I could not say a word to a fellow employee without supervision come around the corner to tell me to get back to work.

If I went to find something for purchase during my lunch, I was followed by supervision.

It was not uncommon for supervision to come correct some conjured up detail of what I was doing just as a reminder they were watching.

During my exiting interview I complained once again to the store manager in front of the store assistant manager with no response from either.

After I left, I called a corporate number and complained about the situation only to be told that District Marketing instructed them to tell me there was nothing they could do.

My recommendation is that if you're looking for a job, look elsewhere.

Cashier/Self-Checkout Attendant (Former Employee)

7.3.2020, Job Location: Sarasota, FL

I lost my job at Walmart because I was in the hospital with a severe Kidney infection. I had a note from the Hospital ordering me not to work AND the Doctor who oversaw my treatment at the hospital. I spoke to the HR department at Walmart and told them and was told it was no problem as long as I had a note and just get better.

But when I returned with my TWO notes, I was taken off the schedule completely and when I went to the HR dept to see what was going on, I wa as told that a Drs note "was not the same as a hospital note", and that my documentation was unacceptable. Even though I had two notes. They will NOT work with you availability wise and if you cannot work the schedule they give you, they just fire you.

Even if it's because you're in college and need to alter your hours to fit your school schedule or because you have a child, I saw many employees either have to quit, got fired, or were forced to miss classes because the managers would not work with them. Also, the managers are extremely lazy, cliquey and unprofessional.

All around, their attendance policy is way over the top, over extreme, and ends up being the main reason that they're always short staffed! Employees BEWARE!

Cashier (Former Employee)

3.3.2020, Job Location: Tampa, FL

I worked at a Walmart in Tampa, FL in 2017. I worked there for two months before I left. My coworkers were amazing and my CSM's were okay. My main CSM once yelled for not doing something, she never told me to do and I seen other cashiers not do. Another CSM refused to give change one night meaning I couldn't the customer correct change and he got mad when I kept asking for change. I was never allowed to go back and complete my computer training, which you have a deadline of 90 days to complete. One day, a cashier came in sick and halfway through her shift, she lost her voice and the CSM didn't let her go home. Lastly, the management people made everyone, who didn't open availability, change their availability to open. I remember an older cashier complaining about that.

The only thing I liked about working was the people. They were like a one, big, happy family. I have a few anxiety attacks and my coworkers were always there to help. My anxiety attacks were my main reason for leaving.

I don't think will ever work for Walmart, again. I have some of my worst anxiety attacks working there (one lasted for 2 days and I couldn't calm down). When I left, I was felt light and relieved.

Hard Currency Exchange Technician (Former Employee)

26.2.2020, Job Location: Pasco, WA

I had the singular privilege of working at Walmart as they transitioned emphasis to Walmart.com and Site to Store. They worked so hard to compete online with Amazon, a company that itself could never compete with Walmart's brick and mortar presence, that they essentially threw the entire company under the bus.

Now, their policies are geared more than I've ever seen towards working people as hard as they can, while paying them as little as they can. Every employee is now expected to have two jobs, a primary and a secondary, but of course only be paid for one wage. Mid and lower level management positions are being removed, and then "new" positions with the same responsibilities are being offered for less pay.

Management is doing what they can to stack additional tasks on employees, first as a "hey can you this for me?" and then as an expectation. Once you become acclimated to that, "hey can you also do this for me?" I also had the pleasure of being there when their promotion system was removed. It used to be that you were given a raise in accordance with your job performance.

Good performance meant a higher annual raise. Now, all employees, regardless of their skill and performance, are given a raise roughly equivalent to the earlier "poor performance" raise. All in all, my experience at Walmart was poor. But it did give me the incentive I needed to go back to school, get a degree, and find a much better job!

Department Manager (Former Employee)

12.2.2020, Job Location: Dothan, AL | February 12, 2020

When I started my job at walmart 18 years ago I LOVED it! It was very family oriented, the managers cared about you and the associates were family. Today it’s nothing but backstabbing and confusion. Managers are only out for themselves. I actually got in trouble for walking a customer to the opposite side of the store to find an item.

I was told by store manager I was wasting time needed to stock. Jobs are being downgraded and lost due to machines. A lot of older people were dismissed to bring new people in who they could pay less. They said the job ended and created new names for the same job. The managers have favorites! No matter how hard you work, if you aren’t on the favorites team your work goes unrecognized. They also remove days from attendance of the friends they favored.

The managers could see the favorites walked around and talked all day and achieved no productivity and let it slide. If you are a Walmart shopper you can tell what I am saying by the way the store looks. There are some stores with good management still, but it’s rare to find. The benefits changed EVERY year!

The morale is low because they won’t hire the people needed to successfully perform the tasks and it’s worse with stores that have favorites because the rest are overworked trying to keep the shelves stocked and other daily task. 9 out of 10 people are unhappy and searching for better jobs.

Part-time cashier/ Full-time Customer Service Associate (Current Employee)

2.2.2020, Job Location: Erie, PA

I really loved working at Walmart for the first five years. But corporate changes the past couple of years were not beneficial to employees. Yes, they pay well...but then they cut your hours and expect more and more. Managers listen to you, but they don’t respond. Their hands are often tied by higher ups.

And customers often get their way even though there are policies you are expected to follow. Again, the higher-ups tell you to follow policies and rules, then they break policy and make you bow to the customer, which makes you feel a fool. I won’t say it’s all bad. I really enjoy the job for the most part. Most of the customers are decent and I have regular customers that ask for me or wait for me for service. I’ve made many friendships with fellow workmates, as well as customers. Benefits have changed the last couple of years, too! And I really wish they gave you performance-based raises instead of everyone getting the same % for the most part. I also feel that someone who has been with the company longer and is dependable and on time should be rewarded accordingly. Seniority does not seem to make a difference at Walmart.

All in all, I’d say Wal-Mart has made some changes of late that, in my opinion, are not the best for employees. It’s not an awful place to work, yet...but if they continue with the changes that hurt their employees, it will not be a good place to work.

Grocery Cap Team 2 Associate (Current Employee)

23.1.2020, Job Location: Marrero, LA | January 23, 2020

My experience as a Wal-Mart employee has been a mixed bag. On one hand you didn't want to fail your co-workers because your failures become someone else's work but than you have managers and an endless supply of supervisors who are inept. To be fair some of the co-managers knew what they were doing and how to get employees to perform but even they were undermined by other co-managers.

They will tell you that customers are number one and in the next breathe tell you to meet deadlines that include working while customers shop, which honestly puts the customer in the way. There were only a handful of co-managers that knew what each position, grocery cap-2 in my case, did and the other managers/supervisors treated you like you were at their beckon call at all times regardless if you had training in that department or not. You'll be told to face/zone the merchandise before you even get a chance to stock the designated area, which is completely backwards to what it should be, it's pointless work if you know anything about stocking, you are actually creating more work for yourself. I don't know if all the stores are like this or if it was just my luck but it seemed like a lot of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing and if you actually take pride in what you do, heaven help you. It's a shame that a job that shouldn't be that stressful is nothing but stress.

Side note, some of the best co-workers I have ever worked with. It seems like a necessity at times to get along because it can easily become an us vs. them environment. If anything they made it worthwhile.

Stocker at Walmart (Former Employee)

13.1.2020, Job Location: North Logan, UT

If you a job that tries to fire you for going to a funeral, for needing time off for a medical procedure that determines whether or not you have cancer, or for getting very badly injured at work and giving them a note to be excused from the rest of the day FROM THE HOSPITAL, which they refuse to take and tell you if you go home you’re fired, this is the job for you!

Management absolutely does NOT care about any of their employees, unless you somehow become a “favorite”. In that case you can get away with anything. I heard many members of management talking so unprofessionally and rudely about their workers that it almost made my ears bleed. If you get sick you have to file for a medical leave. If you haven’t worked there for a year, it will get denied and you will get fired. Even if you have worked there for a year, unless you were at deaths door, it will probably be denied and you will be fired. If you have an emergency and leave work, you will be fired.

If you get a “warning” 3 times, you get fired. (These earnings are often things such as “hey you’re getting coached because you forgot to pick up a piece of cardboard.”) Yup, 3 warnings like that and you’re gone. If you need emergency time off for a funeral, you’re probably getting fired. Just don’t do it. You will never have time off and will be working for a company that does not care about their workers, just the money they are pulling in. The amount of times my husband and I left work crying or fuming in the short 3 months we worked there was astronomical.

Cart Associate (Former Employee)

4.1.2020, Job Location: Bemidji, MN

Walmart has been getting a horrible reputation for not really communicating with their workers. They need to reach out more, and understand their employees needs. I understand from a business perspective, but work should make you feel comfortable, and have a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Only being allowed to miss three days of work before threatening termination is really awful, thing's come up in anyone's lives. I'm not saying that a person should be allowed to stay home whenever they want, its their job, but Walmart should definitely talk with their employees and see if they have a serious issue going on. I think it would help reduce tensions with Walmart and the general public.

My work was fun, and definitely a challenge for myself. However, It seems like Walmart acts like it's a "family" type business, but doesn't really commit to that sort of ideology. The amount of coworkers I had talked to who felt like they were being tied down by their jobs, their family relationships being torn apart, all of it, was really sad. Too many people doing too many different jobs. The scheduling was incredibly difficult to work with, although I liked my hours, there were too many people being scheduled at once.

There was a lot of tension in that workplace setting, but overall, I still loved my job for the exercise and fresh air, the pay, and the coworkers who actually put in the effort to do what they could to make it enjoyable. It's a very common opinion to hear that Walmart has just become too big, and has lost it's personal touch."

People Greeter (Former Employee)

22.12.2019, Job Location: Spring, TX

I did not work in Walmart eCommerce; I worked at a Walmart Super Center.; the ratings I listed above were for the super Center.

My experience was as reported; the Job/Work balance suited me as I only wanted a small amount of working hours, due to the fact my wife had died recently and I had much to reckon with at that time.

Compensation started at $9.00 per hour and ended at $12.22 per hour. Security and advancement was not available to me, due to my Military disability I was unable to stand for 5 hours at a time. This was the reasonthat I, and several other Greeters were let go, stating the reason was that they were changing over to a more strenuous position and with our disabilities, we were unable to perform the duties required. Note: the new crew that replaced us does the same job that we performed, except they stand all the time.

Management was just so, so; if you didn't say good morning to them, they walked by like you were invisible.

Job culture was a farce; morale was low at our store for most everyone except upper management. Part of this was because our store was not performing like the home office wanted.

Unpleasant front end Customer service managers dis-coordinated didn’t know what task to give me more than a few times seemed unsure/confused even asked me what I should do (like I know, I just came to do a job I was hoping they would do theirs)

They were fake friendly nasty attitude gossipy demeanor majority employees who work there. That is way I minded my own it wasn’t meant for them to take personal but they did.

Hard to get close to narrow minded low vibe people about petty stuff and hating on others.

A challenge to get my separate breaks (three) in daily. A lot of times had delayed breaks.

I got consolation warnings over management not being abl to get them some days.

Discrimination for. Wing introvered and being not as loud or social

I was a self check out host and associates saw I needed help and walked away pretending not to see me as did one manager

I got isolation treatment and gossip and nasty looks from jealou associates because maybe complements I revive from various customers.

Overall that’s an East side Walmart for you. They don’t want to help each other to succeed together as a family it’s Everyman for themselves.

Felt like Walmart High school immature elders and full grown kid adults acting childish daily.

Fresh production associate (Former Employee)

9.12.2019, Job Location: New Castle, IN

It was a stable job I will give it that, but overloaded with tasks per person, and unprofessional managers that got away with treating their team poorly. open door policy is worthless when I had to deal with a situation of harassment. There was no disciplinary actions taken for the employees that regularly violated company policies, such as being overly direct with associates when there was an ""issue"" and often wasteful of products in the fresh production area, unsanitary, not following local health codes and general poor work ethic by disappearing for 30 minutes at a time each smoke or restroom break.

The Assistant Manager over Fresh Production at that time was a fantastic leader (I can't stress enough that it was not this specific manager that was the problem) but the team was not respectful, abused his absences (days off and vacations) by not working the same as if he were there; violating safety procedures, cleaning procedures etc. I honestly feel bad for the Assistant Manager because he worked really hard to bring the Fresh area up to where it needed to be. It was like the other assistant managers did not care what happened because it ""wasn't their area"" so ""not their problem.""

I probably would have had a better experience had the people been dealt with properly like getting written up or suspended after multiple offenses of violating company policies. A year and a half is a long time to put up with such things.
