Delafield, WI

Current Employee – been working at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 10 years

ProsSolid, growing Company. Very good job security in a troubled economy. Provides several options for benefits to help match your needs

ConsTerrible scheduling, good luck getting two days off in a row; high pressure work load with low pay, high pressure on the associates that perform while letting under performing associates slide.

Advice to Senior Managementhave your assistant push under performing associates to pick it up instead of continually riding the over performing associates to pick up the slack. Stocking should not be a super high pressure job. You are losing good employees due to this tactic.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThis is a great place to learn retail or even step into management. This one of the only jobs left that you dont have to have a degree to be in management for those who do not pursue post secondary education.

ConsPay is not all that great for those with degrees, overworked at times. Company is too cheap to be the one of the largest employers, and to make the profit that they make.

Advice to Senior ManagementNone

Sacramento, CA

Former Employee – worked at Walmart Stores full-time for more than 10 years

ProsSalary and the opportunity to interact with great associates. Ability to grow your career to a certain extent

ConsOpen door policy only applies to associates up to a certain pay grade. New practice of hiring people from outside who consistently try to implement their own strategies rather than corporate direction, and their willingness to dispose of experienced talent rather than learning from them.

Advice to Senior ManagementThe dedicated management associates running your stores are the ones who receive the least amount of respect and are listened to the least.
