Micromanagement has gone past extreme and is now out of control. - Assistant Manager Walmart Employee Review

      Pros

      Lots of career opportunity. Some great & talented people who can make a tough job more pleasant.

      Cons

      Work Life balance is the biggest joke in the company. Company keeps taking and taking without giving back. 42 hr work week turned into 45, then 47.5, then 50, now 52. Upper Management texts you all day long on your days off for non-business critical reasons. Can't tell you how many of my days off with my children were ruined or taken away because there was a note that a department manager didn't get done. Company now micromanages every minute of your day. Merchandising and creativity are a thing of the past.

          Pros

          Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

          Cons

          Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.

        Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

        I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

        Manager

        Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
