WalMart Canada Cashier Interview

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 days)

First you apply on-line, then months later you get a call and they conduct a phone interview. If all goes well you then are asked to come in where about 8 people are going for the same job. They make you watch some videos on the company. Then they do this speed questioning session where they bring in one manager per person. They ask random questions like why you want this job and questions on how you would handle different situations dealing with customers and other employees. You do some sales presentations and role playing. Then if you are lucky they call within a day and ask for you to come in and this is where they talk about how much they are going to pay you. After this process you have 2 days of orientation with a big group of people. You play games and do a section of things where you need to find where the keep things, introduces yourself to other employees, and these employees have no clue as why you are doing this. Then they tell you to go find your Boss and get some hours for training. (They don't even introduce you to the one who is in charge of you. Then with being a cashier you actually have two people who don't seem to be on the same wavelenght that can give you hours. (Poor Communication) Later when you come in for training if your lucky you get someone who cares and knows there job well. My first session I had a really great cashier, but after that I had a cashier who just left me and didn't even stay on cash with me. Even though I have a lot of years experience as a cashier, there is other stuff that comes up around the store that was unfamiliar to me.
