A location in north Texas is doing what Bentonville says is testing of new full time employee hours to include ONLY two eight hour shifts, they fill the gaps with part time employees of only four hour shifts. It runs through the coming holidays, till the end of January. You either work 5am to 1 pm or 2pm to 10pm. Also,It does not matter what the law defines as full time in Texas, (or any other state for that matter) you must now work a schedule of 40 hours on the clock to be considered a full time employee, not anything less. This is not only an inconvenience those who have families and lives outside of the club, with the club not opening until 7am, that means jobs that normally have a "customer service"position, ie, front desk, cafe, cashiers, COS etc, etc...they are being made to crossover to a logistic night time positions, restocking, store maintenance, janitorial,etc... to perform additional night crew responsibilities to justify being on the clock before/after normal operating opening and closing hours. Then, they go to the job duties for the original positions they were hired for...and don't even ask or expect a weekend, (Saturday AND Sunday off) you'll continue to get your two days off a week just not on Saturday and Sunday, you might not even get them on consecutive days. Either Bentonville has drank the kool-aid by doing this, or local management is lying about this being Bentonville's doing or the club is on the 2019 store closing list to begin ironically in January.
