Wal-Mart Associate (Former Employee)

11.4.2019, Job Location: Kenai, AK | April 11, 2019

My typical day would be to go in and open the bakery, this consisted of turning on the industrial oven and breaking out the predetermined number of doughnuts from the freezer. I would then have to start warming the icing, by that time I could start cooking the doughnuts in the oven and running them through the glazing machine called a thermoglazer.

While the thermoglazer is running I would ice the non-glazed doughnuts by hand and set some of the finished doughnuts in the display case, and box the rest to be placed on the shelves on the bakery floor. Then I would start on the breads, taking out racks of them from the cooler prepping them, and then cooking them. While they are cooking I am taking old bread and doughnuts off the shelves. Once all the bread is done cooking I start bagging them and moving them onto the newly vacated shelves. After which cleanup begins, by which time my shift ends.

The hardest part of the job was the learning curve, mostly due to the fact I had to learn to open the entire bakery on my own in less than two days. After those two days I was tossed into the deep end, with help arriving about two hours after I start.

Front End Worker (Current Employee)

6.4.2019, Job Location: Hutchinson, MN

When I first started working here, I felt like management actually cared about our customers and their experience at our store. I still feel that way, but corporate is making that next to impossible for us as employees to follow.

Most days, we don’t even have enough people on the front end to have more than one register open at a time, leaving our customers upset and frustrated. I hear more and more customers saying things like “this is a joke” or “why do we still shop here?”. I have seen many instances where the people running the front end have to do that from a register, a door, or the service desk.

When those people call for help on the front end due to long lines, they rarely get a response, and when they do help doesn’t show up until ten to twenty minutes after the first call. Part of the reason is that we simply don’t have enough staff. Part of the reason is simply because there is no sense of urgency in this store to do what we need to do to make our customers happy.

We have 18 self checkouts and 14 regular registers and on most shifts (mostly at night) we rarely have more than 8 people on the front end to run these registers. These 8 people include the 2 door greeters, the person at the service desk, and the 2 people who are in charge of running the front end. This leave 3 cashiers. 1 for the grocery side self checkout, 1 for the general merchandise self checkout and 1 for the registers.

All because corporate is regulating labor instead of each individual store like we used to. So much for caring about our customers.

Cashier (Former Employee)

5.4.2019, Job Location: Mesa, AZ | April 5, 2019

I do not recommend working here if you are a person who hates doing the same thing every day. There is no change ever, every day is the same stuff different day. Walmart never has coverage ever and if your the type of person who shows up for work you're screwed.

Management expect you to have the best attitude and stay motivated but talk down to you and treat you like you're dumb. If you want to take holidays off , goodluck with that cause everyone has to work on holidays and goodluck just getting days off approved in general. No benefits besides the 10% discount that saves you a penny every purchase, yeah thanks walmart. This place is not the best work experience. When I started here I was very excited about work but the longer I stayed there the worst it got and I know it's not just one location cause I was transferred to different locations hoping it was different.

Overall you get no benefits, no over time, work holidays, management does not back you up, no training (it's a learn on your own type store), negative work environment and overall messed up store to waste your time on. There are way better companies to work for that actually value thier employees!

Lift operator (Current Employee)

25.2.2019, Job Location: Greenfield, IN

Was a good place at first been there for awhile now and have seen alot.2nd shift has had 3 different managers. The mangers dont care about you at all they just care about the number of trailers they can get unloaded. There is a 10 person crew they expect them to do the work of the other 2 shifts with around 20 to 30 people on the shift.

One manager is gone all the time and leaves when ever he wants and comes back when ever he wants. It can be 30min before end of shift and they will open a floor load that takes forever to do. Most people dont leave on time are at work till 3 or 4 am. The pay and benefits are great but upper management is clueless to what is going on you can tell them but nothing happens. Alot of people quit just after a few weeks because of the stress.

After talking to a few yard drivers the equipment is junk and falling appart. Thet will not fix the major problems with them. They just let them go and get worse. The people that work hard get flack all the time the ones that dont just get away with it. One yard driver backs in the trailers so hard he brakes stuff all the time and gets away with it. If you dont make nice with people in a certain group then you are shunned and no one in that group will talk to you or help you.

If management wasnt so concerned with hitting numbers and actually helping us succeed it would be better place to work. I did love this job but now have been thinking about leaving

Online Grocery Pickup (Former Employee)

12.2.2019, Job Location: Englewood, OH

I really enjoyed working here overall. Compared to my points it sounds like a bad place. The store I last worked at having worked at 3 Wal-marts was one of the worst. However they were also in a transition of management, and it was steadily improving. While I personally did not want to be a manager there were plenty of people who were that were unable to pass Wal-marts Standardized test and promoted.

This is bad because 1: Some of these people were not fit for the role. 2: This caused issues with people who were capable and could pass the test but were not liked by one member of management and so were looked over all together. Other than that the job is easy, pays well, gets plenty of benefits. I would recommend working for Wal-mart! Met wonderful people and customers there just don't let the environment bring you down it's not the best!

Place is a good paying job
Low work Motivation
Poor Management
Flexible Hours
PTO-Gained based on hrs worked
Good point system after probationary period(6 months)

Poor advancement opportunities. Will promote those who they want, even if they can't pass Wal-marts promotion test(like a standardized test). The ones who are capable in the store, who could do it they will pass up if they aren't a Assistant Managers lap dog."

Fresh Associate (Former Employee)

3.2.2019, Job Location: Gadsden, AL

Typical Fresh Associate duties would be: prepping bread for baking, baking cookies, making sure there is enough bread stocked in certain places of the store. Occasionally you'll alternate to the deli, but I primarily worked as a baker.

The managers weren't too sure what they wanted associates doing, and would spontaneously take you from what you were doing to switch you over to deli/bakery. It was very confusing, and I'd personally recommend they just stick to assigning jobs to associates, instead of trying to give a million things to do to every Fresh Associate.

Coworkers here range from sweet old ladies baking cakes, to typical drama high school students who think their job is time to be on their phone, and then blame the work they didn't do on another associate.

You get benefits after 90 days of working there full-time, and theres no overtime. You have to clock in right on time, and clock out not a minute after your 8th hour. If you do this too much they'll give you marks.

You get a 1 hour break, and two 15 minute breaks. You must clock out during these breaks.

So, other than the petty drama, and managers hardly knowing what to do with you, it's a solid job. (I remember there being one manager there who was particularly nice, and even worked alongside the associates. So not all management is bad.)

Would have stuck with this job if not for my personal health.

Apparel Department Manager (Current Employee)

23.1.2019, Job Location: Fremont, CA

Dont get me wrong, the company is a good company to work for, they offer benefits and 401k, the training is there if you become a Department Manager, you will meet workers that has been there for more than 10years.

Management changes from time to time. It depends on if the Store Manager gets promoted or get fired. ASM's changes since they can transfer to other locations or get promoted too. Currently our SM isnt really the supportive one, not even motivating, so some workers are leaving the store. Even the ones who has been working there for so long. The pay when I started back in 2009 was $9 and you get raises annualy and then that's only if you get a good evaluation. Promotion depends on who you know than how you work.

And then when you do get promoted, it depends on your ASM, if you get lucky and have a good one, they'll always help you out but if you get to have the new ones, you'll have to train them as well. What you learn in training is too good to be true, its hard to actually execute them when not everyone really knows their roles and responsibilities so instead of setting the whole store to success, its always on the down low BUT this review is based on the store where I work at in Fremont.

Been working in and out there for almost 9 years and its been a year of worst scenarios. Each stores run differently and some are lucky to have a management team who are really doing their jobs.

Cap Lead (Former Employee)

9.1.2019, Job Location: Bakersfield, CA

The management will do whatever it takes even breaking osha compliance and upper management is never happy with any level of productivity and always want more out of employees even if they are performing above average.

A typical day at work would be coming in to finish what last shift would not have finished then starting on my own tasks and trying my best to complete those then moving on to help others to complete their tasks.

The workplace culture is odd and is only their for show many meeting they have you do the cheer as they call it which was just a waste of time rather than just getting employees off to work and on their tasks to begin with.

The hardest part of the job was trying to not get thrown under the bus for someone else's mistakes or used as an example to try and make the shift team work harder through the threat of termination or write ups or coaching as they like to call it.

I was coached only once in my three years of working at this company and it was for productivity and I fought it and later had it thrown out and it was done to me only to prevent me moving up to a higher position which it prevented me for several months throughout the investigation as well as the management responsible for the coaching was forced into a demotion for their tactics in how they were handling the team and its productivity.

The most enjoyable part of the job was leaving it at the end of each day I take pride in my work and knowing that I did a good job and did my fair share of the work each day and what I accomplished was the best part.

Department Manager (Current Employee)

4.1.2019, Job Location: Acworth, GA

Harassment by upper management is common, retaliation is common, ethics does not follow up on complaints. Underpaid and lied to, job threatened when I discovered this fact. Changing of hourly schedules after posting without notifying associates. Routine OSHA violations.

Unsecured electrical controls, blocking of propane cage with electric displays, attempts to refuse water to outdoor associates, refusal of team lifts on large items, expired ple licenses used, broken items not properly locked out or tagged out, sometimes still in use. Paranoid managers harass employees for using work phones or computers to do work related jobs, for fear of being reported.

Managers cannot spell even when typing a word document. Cannot write clear directions, market mandated retraining as a result, still aggressive when asked followup questions.

Maintenance (Current Employee)

24.12.2018, Job Location: Many, LA

The managers from regional and so forth expect too much from us Mantaince workers and the managers could care less about what we do as long as they get to go home in time. They sit there and moan and complain that we dont get enough done but turn around and make us do 10 different jobs that weren't aren't suppose to be doing.

Its honestly a joke and its stressful because you have so many deadlines to get to and then you can't do it because of the managers. The walmart i work at was run by managers who dont care and because of that the store suffered.

I work for maintaince and we are overworked for the amount of pay we get. I have to do my job and the stockers jobs every night. We tried to get more maintaince members but they now are cutting our hours. Whats the point of getting more help if you cant even get it when noone is there cuz of the cut hours???

Only good thing I say is you get a bonus every 3 months and the discount cards are great too (to some existent)

I honestly would quit my job if it wasnt the highest paying job in the area and take in mind I'm only 19.

Don't get me started on overtime either, Wal-Mart will steal every penny from you. They don't even allow overtime yet alone paid holidays off. If they allowed overtime, I would of already bleed them dry.

For those who work maintaince hope you got it better.

Staff Systems Engineer (Former Employee)

14.12.2018, Job Location: Bentonville, AR

Great Corporation, heartless I.T. abuse of SMEs.

I arrived on top of my field, current with every skill and technology worth mastering. They required me to share everything I ever learned, ignored most of my best advice (because it wasn't what they wanted to hear), then blamed me and the technology vendors who sold us the software, for not achieving objectives that some mid-manager sold to upper management (based on expectations abstract from reality,and contrary to what the SME and vendors selling it, would ever endorse). After years of this awful mismanagement, most of those managers have been laid-off, the vendor relationships are sour, and the experts hired to ""fix it"" (including myself) are laid-off, and replaced with inexpensive very agreeable visa-bearing warm bodies, at less than half the cost of the hardened veteran SMEs discarded.

I still adore this company, for the tremendous good it does all over the world, but must warn I.T. people that my experience serving within Walmart Technology is not a rare exception, rather an example of what the majority of seasoned I.T. pros that refuse to compromise truth for false metrics. Now I personally choose not to sulk, but will hustle to regain cutting edge relevance and market value lost in technical debt resulting from my term at Walmart. If I return within I.T., it will be as an independent consultant, so that I can have some control over the metrics my product will be measured against, rather than the deceit middle-management uses to justify personal career advancement.

If you choose to join, you have been warned.

Mod Team (Former Employee)

2.12.2018, Job Location: Temple, TX

So I started working here and I was on the MOD Team so I worked alone for the most part. The other employees are friendly and I got along with the ones I saw the most. So I'm still in my probation period (90 days) and I get kidney stones. I'm out of work for 2 days while I was at the hospital and at home passing them.

They prescribed me a medication that I had no idea I was allergic to. 1 pill every 4 hours. I couldn't even move or make myself get off the couch let alone wake up to eat or use the bathroom. Out for another 2 days and I go back, still taking them because I didn't know that was what was making me sick. I barely had enough strength to move or walk around. The lights were way to bright and gave me a headache.

I get my assignments and head that way. The second I get over there, I collapse on the floor and all I can do is sit there and try to breathe.

My manager found me and told me to go home and that it was an unexcused absence. So I stopped taking the meds and got my Dr's notes and they said that they no longer accept Dr's notes according to the state of Texas blah blah blah... I had half a day over the limit for probation and I was terminated after I had completed a full night of work.

Stock Associate (Former Employee)

28.11.2018, Job Location: Gardner, MA

To start, the training you receive generally conflicts with the actual job and tasks that the management wants you to perform. As with most jobs the more you perform the more they expect from you, but rarely will you receive any extra compensation or benefit for going above and beyond. Employees can consistently arrive late or call out with little repercussion and the task load just gets dumped on whoever comes in.

Rather than reprimand the problem employees management will berate an entire team because a task meant for 10 people wasn't completed when only 4 people showed up to work. When an employee actually manages to get fired it's usually from having called out too many times and you can expect it will be a few months before they finally hire someone to fill in the gap. As you can imagine this makes for an incredibly stressful work environment being consistently understaffed.

The "good" employees combat this by constantly requesting (and receiving) time off leaving for a week at a time. The only time you receive pay raises is when you take a higher position within the company or a few meager cents when the annual cost of living raise comes around. I would never suggest working for Walmart unless you were in dire straits or just don't care about working conditions, which if that's the case you'll never have to worry about losing your job.

So I guess you could say that there is an opportunity for job security for the desperate.

Customer Service Manager (CSM) (Former Employee)

13.11.2018, Job Location: Ukiah, CA

I worked for Walmart when it first came to Ukiah. We were hyped and excited for all the potential. It was the excitement of a game show, then the reality set in.

Walmart drives a high tech public relations campaign to make you believe in the mission but fails to give hours or recognition to their employees. The benefits have so high deductions and payments that you would be better off not having them or using another family members.

Although I loved many of my friends who started the new store and maintain friendships with many, the hours and labor are so stretched, realistically the job cannot be accomplished which hurts morale. Also, the staff then backbites and stabs each other to look good to management.

I recommend walmart only for temporary employment or desperation.

The stress levels are so intense that I have seen many people cry even today.

I have a family member that has worked over 20 years at the walmart but she loves the people and the friends she has made.

Inside the store is many pockets of great individuals making a great experience and those people make the customers smile as well.

The employees under stress make me give walmart a 3 to work at.

The cut throat tactics of the company as a whole would rate a 2. However, if you are looking at dollars and cents and the bottom line, everyone can clearly see the company is a 5.

Sales Associate (Former Employee)

7.11.2018, Job Location: Riverton, WY

Everyday started off with a meeting talking about how everything is going around the store. It was usually lighthearted unless we had a busy shift where we would talk about what was expected of us and where we could help if we finished our task early.

Management was usually understanding and tried to help where they could, which made it pretty easy for me to work there. Other employees were very approachable and I was content working with them. The most difficult part of the job was knowing that what you had to do that day was urgent, but still making sure that the customer felt welcomed and could always get help if they needed it.

The most fun was my old manager, he'd always make conversation and help where he could. He would make sure that we felt welcomed and would try to cook food for us once a week. Working at Walmart is bearable if you work with the managers and keep up.

Automotive Technician (Former Employee)

26.10.2018, Job Location: Clearfield, PA

So worked there for 12 years. It wasn't a bad place to begin with but went down hill after awhile.

Your expected to do other people's jobs because they won't schedule anyone. I worked in the garage doing oil changes and tire jobs and wound up being called away to do fishing and hunting licence at one store. The next one I worked for, a lot of times there was two of us to do greeting counter plus all the work that came into the garage till 10 or 11 am. Work progressed at a slow pace and was just stressful for the customers and us.

In the length of time I was there was making 12.75. They stopped giving raises 2 years ago and now give you a cost of living raise at 2% every year across the board. I had co workers that did as little as possible and got the same raise as I. This all started with the last starting wage hike. If you worked there for awhile it had no effect on your pay. I had a co worker less then 6 months in that made a 12 an hour even.

Over time is allowed only during holidays and only if approved. If you get over time any other time your made to lose it or get a write up.

On the plus side schedules are flexible and after a few years you get decent vacation time. And it takes a lot for them to fire anyone. Show up and it's a job. Also the breaks are good.

Department Manager (Current Employee)

14.10.2018, Job Location: Williston, ND

You always seem to walk into someone else's work which has to be finished before you can do your own. That shift is walking out the door as you are working on their many unsupervised mistakes. Bringing up the problem with management gets you little more than an ""Oh well, what can you do about it?"" Management members fail to communicate with each other so, more often than not, you are asked by different members of management what you are doing or why are you doing what you are doing. Co-workers are in the same boat so you generally get along with everyone.

The hardest part of this job is getting to do what you were actually hired to do. There are different shifts for different jobs. When one shift doesn't finish their jobs, you are left with the task of completing it before you can do your own. That can take up the majority of the day and leave you scrambling to complete you r own work. The best part of the job is when you actually get to do your job and you get that sense of accomplishment.

Dairy Associate (Current Employee)

7.10.2018, Job Location: Potsdam, NY

Job overall is fine and was for quite sometime, I came in pick carts were ready and I filled up everything and zoned then took care of claims.

Now being understaffed, working in a college town, getting overrun, company keeps changing poilicies that make things go from bad to worse cause like I have time to work breads and hostess, and being abandoned several times to run the department by myself for weeks or beginning of the month has been an uber nightmare.

They say 1 person used to run both frozen and dairy well good for them they didnt have to deal with all the fresh cap shenaniganz or trying to work around crowded area bins that are overfull.

No communication ever follows, have to clean up other peoples messes for them not being supervised, favoritism, and limited equipment. Only gets worse when only made a simple complaint that the department is left a mess everytime coming in and wacos are not being worked ""Ok now your doing capping bins"" Wow thanks was just saying people weren't doing there job thanks for the extra work am already strained as it is.

Even when my department manager is there or the part time its still frustrating to get stuff done so overall its sucks. Hoping its better for others.

Cake Decorator / Customer Service (Former Employee)

24.9.2018, Job Location: Pflugerville, TX

The management would give more tasks than could be preformed even being a highly productive worker. I enjoyed cake decorating but even when i was overbooked they would still take cake orders and expect me to stay late to make sure they were all completed.

I was the primary decorator and would have to remake the majority of the cakes the secondary decorator made. It would take me 1/3 the time to decorate than the other decorator and we were still paid the same. While in the middle of one task they would have me stop to work on something else which would put the orders behind schedule. In the beginning the staff/management was very nice and helpful but after a few months the politics of favortism would set in and you could see who would not have to do as much work or get away with doing less and others would have to pick up there slack and were reprimanded when tasks were not complete.

The work done was not appreciated and when a customer would leave compliments with management on an employees work, the compliment would not be relayed to the employee because "they know they do a nice job already". I feel a little praise can go a long way.

Customer Service Manager (Current Employee)

14.9.2018, Job Location: Greenville, SC

I arrive at Walmart. Take a quick summary of how the front is running where breaks are for cashiers customer service money center. I then begin to run the gambit of trying to find who can cover what break. I run around crazy and have to stop what I am doing for every approval needed on a return or a complaint about the lines from customers. Or anything else they want to complain about.

Then you have managers above you screaming about this or that that needs to be handled. Is it all bad no. I love my customers who are kind considerate and understanding. There are a few good Managers in every store. If you are able there is friendships and compadres but be warned they will through you under the bus to save their own skin. Walmart is a dog eat dog world where only those who are favorites will move up. You are never thanked. (except by customers.) Dont expect any hand holding in any position you take there is none they throw you to the wolves.

I have learned a lot though working here. How to have a stiff back bone. How to realize people get upset and dont always mean to say things the way they do. I have also learned people will lie to you to get what they want accomplished. Customers and Other Employees and managers alike.

You always here the Walmart way the way Sam Walton wants things in training but dont pay it no mind it isnt cared about anymore in the store level at least.

Expect to do Everyone's job from maintenance personnel, cart pushers, Managers, stockers, cahier, and customer service and money center transactions.

Cap Team 2 Associate (Former Employee)

28.8.2018, Job Location: East Liverpool, OH

There wasn't really a typical workday. You didn't know what you were doing until you got there. It did teach me that sometimes to get the task done you have to put your own spin on how your doing your work. No one method works with everybody. It also taught me that although you need to get the job done quickly, speed and safety don't go hand and hand. You'll always be lowering priority on one to do the other better.

As far as a workplace goes it wasn't all bad. The most enjoyable part of the day was that we were all the same when it came to associates in the same position. Our mindset was the same and our sense of humor was the same. Even our supervisor was a joker like the rest of us. The reason I rated job culture so low is because of the management. They are fully aware that the hours for aisles are a lot of the time wrong, but still expect it done by that time.

They will tell you to go home for being sick, and then point you the next day. The worst thing about them is that they'll set standards and then immediately make it impossible. For example, we're suppose to have 8 people working the truck at any given moment. We had 6 that day. They want the truck unloaded in an hour and a half.

Within 30 minutes of working the truck, two of us get taken off the truck to pull carts outside. Then one of us has an anxiety attack and goes home. They still expected it done in an hour and a half.

Self-Checkout Cashier (Current Employee)

17.8.2018, Job Location: Saint Clairsville, OH

Overall, the company is not the best to work for, nor is it entirely the worst. A typical day of work is usually tiring and stressful. I'm generally an anxious sort of person, so I was often worried about dealing with an unruly or outrageous customer or a manager that was lazy or in a bad mood. On a full shift, you get three breaks, two being 15 minutes long and an hour lunch.

Often times the breaks would be late or unevenly spaced (for instance: first fifteen being an hour after you arrive, lunch two and a half hours after that, last and hour and forty-five after lunch had concluded). The customers are frankly worse than the management. It's not unusual to hear about someone who had left feces on the floor or someone holding up checkout lines or someone getting incredibly angry or frustrated. Sometimes it's not the customers' fault either, some of the employees are rather nasty or rude. I didn't learn much, other than the fact that dealing with a thousand people each day is stressful.

The most difficult part of my job was monitoring for theft. Often times it's hard to notice whether or not someone is attempting theft. When you can confirm they are attempting to steal, it's difficult to confront them and say that their items weren't scanned properly or the machine didn't pick up. The most enjoyable part is the fact we have breaks and an hour lunch, though it goes by fast. Some customers are very pleasant to talk to as well.

Assistant Manager (Former Employee)

13.8.2018, Job Location: Coralville, IA

I've never worked for a more greedy and ungrateful company than Walmart. The salary from the outside world looks so appealing until they force you to work 70+ hours a week with no holidays off and the only bonuses come if the total store makes it's sales for the year.

The market and regional level do not care about a work/life balance and will find any reason to write you up and fire you from the management position if you don't give into working their insane amount of hours. Even if you do they still pass over you for promotions, knowing that they wouldn't be able to find another person to put into your position to work those hours.

And never have the words "Thank You" come from any higher up managers. The company prides itself off hiring from within and retaining its' associates yet will continuously post job opening on only external sites and not even post them for internal candidates to apply for. You spend 12+ hours every day getting yelled at by bosses and customers only for nothing to be good enough.

Their Human Resources are a joke. If you try to speak with them about concerns you get told that they don't have time to chat with you and have more pressing matters. I always heard people express their hatred for this company but never understood it until I worked there.

Department Manager (Current Employee)

29.7.2018, Job Location: Austin, TX

Depending on the store you get hired at, that will provide your view of this company. Some stores have good management, good employees, and excellent teamwork skills. However, for some of us who weren't lucky enough to get hired at a store with decent management, you have this: A store manager who will go out of their way to sabotage advancement within the company if it will be an inconvenience to them.

A co-manager who will tell you to let them know of any problems you have, but when you do, it's suddenly impossible to find them to see if there can be a resolution. An Assistant Manager who will go out of their way to make you feel incapable of your job, because of setbacks you can't control. You get a management staff that will push you to step down because you are too vocal of the obstacles you need help with, ones who just want you to say you'll get it done, regardless of if it's physically possible for you to do it.

They will alienate you, degrade you, push you to do things that aren't part of your job. Understaff your department so that you're so busy doing everyone else's job, you can't do yours. But hey, maybe you'll get lucky.

Fresh Associate (Former Employee)

19.7.2018, Job Location: Lima, OH

Walmart Inc. gets a bad rap for being an entry-level company where people simply go for part-time work while they're in school that will only last a short while. However, this couldn't be farther from the truth. Walmart offers a multitude of ways for you to carve your own path in the company and achieve great heights.

There are plenty of opportunities for promotion and ample resources to get you there. The management truly cares about your future and wish for you to succeed. However, this does not mean it's an easy ride. Every position within every store of the company has plenty of work to do and you will be held to a high standard. As an associate in the fresh area of the store, this couldn't be more true.

Every day there was not only high customer traffic as it was the most popular area of the store, but there were a lot of safety and proper food handling laws and rules that had to be followed to a tee. Every day was spent equally stocking, interacting with customers, cleaning, and preparing for every associate to be able to handle the whole day's work load. Management was hard on everyone, not intrusively, but in a way that propelled people to work towards a higher standard of quality in the presentation of product.

If you wish to be a Walmart employee, don't go in with the mindset of it being a temporary job. Be ambitious, and you can go far.
