Walmart reviews

The pay is sub-standard as they move towards more part-time associates who seem to think showing up to work is an accomplishment in itself. It takes a lot of weed out those who show up vs. those who actually work! The lower level associates complain constantly and for those who are actually working I understand. For those who stand around, disappear, or are insubordinate to the simplest of requests, I do not understand. If you want to make $15.00 an hour get some skills. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to empty boxes or say, "How may I help you".

Several cons. One is that if you/you area of the store is under what is called a 'scorecard' then your schedule tends to be run by Home Office (based in Bentonville, AR.). This I do NOT whatsoever agree with, due to the simple fact that you should plan your work around your life, not the other way around. Set schedules, I hope, prevail over what Wal-Mart aparently is trying to do. Another con is the lack of positive reinforcement. Managers will tell you to do something often, and not either ask you in the first place and/or will not thank your doing so of that/those particular tasks. Another con is the vast layers of management (WAY too many, as a matter of fact). There are 'too many chiefs and not enough Indians' in my own opinion One manger will often ask you something, some task to preform. Then another will ask you/tell you something completely different to preform, making it quite a stressful and counterproductive environment.
