Why do people who have a choice stay at Walmart?

I don't have a choice. Where I live, it's either Walmart, McDonald's, or Popeyes, not much else to choose from. But if you live somewhere that has plenty of options, why would you stay at Walmart? I can't think of one advantage this place offers over... — read more 

Double, triple workloads?

None of the top dogs wonder if we can handle so much work and is it normal for a single person to do triple workloads? No problem, I'll stay here for as long as I have to, because the bills have to be paid, but I'm leaving at the first opportunity... — read more

Get out

How can someone stay here for 20 years?

Wow. Kudos to them. All the long term employees here are heroes to me, because I've only been here for a little over a year and I've already had enough of everything. There is no way that I will be able to last until the end of this year, I am... — read more 

Corporate turnover by design?

Are we going to talk about how bad corporate turnover has gotten? Is this by design? All I know is it feels like everyone is quitting. Work life balance is a joke. And the managers don’t seem to care. All the teams they’ve laid off were... — read more

What we need..Is another market level person that just pulls numbers, points out fauIt's on the way to an office, and reports / questions numbers from a report. That has never been a manager on ground level..

Pay is horrible, but everything else is horrible too

It would mean a lot to me to get paid at least a little more, especially since I started a family. However, even if I get an increase now, I would still continue to send apps to all other possible openings. Why? Being paid a little is somehow... — read more

New scheduling

This new scheduling they started doing is a joke. Now I hear TLs are going to be doing time off requests. I see that going well. More favoritism.

How many people here have given up on their dreams?

I read someone’s post that I find somewhat offensive about Walmart being staffed by people who are failures in life. I do not think so. Far from it, people do their job diligently and honestly and no one should see anything wrong with that. We cannot... — read more

You need to be careful

Walmart is not a solid long term choice for employment. And, there really are other options out there. People live, eat and breath Walmart -- and then don't have time for anything else. The stress levels and demands are all soul consuming. Be careful... — read more
