Comment preview: This is going to be buried but I hope someone sees this. I'm currently working at Walmart. I work overnights, and let me start by saying that last year we had apx. 40 overnighters when Black Friday rolled around. Guess how many we have now? MAYBE 20. Guess ....

Comment preview: I worked for Wal-mart for several years through college and this is bad timing for the workers, here's why: 1) Walmart has/is already ramping up hiring of temporary and part-time employees for the holidays, making these people EASILY replaced. 2) This is 3 ....

Comment preview: Faulty arguments. > If walmart isn't there, then all of their costs would be paid for through social assistance. You assume that all Walmart employees would be unemployed and completely reliant on government assistance if they were not currently working ....

Comment preview: I worked there for 3 years. I started at 8.45 an hour, finished at 10.15 an hour. Was it shit pay? Absolutely. And it's fair. Why? Because you don't even need a fucking Diploma or GED to work there. Hell, you barely need to speak English. This bullshit abo ....

Comment preview: So, where to begin. My girlfriend is a manager at Walmart. Um, half the cashiers will call in on any given day. This is because half the people who work at Walmart are hard working, and the other half are worthless piles of shit. Walmart doesn't do shit fo ....

Comment preview: Former Wal-Mart associate here. They pretty much just care if you can walk and chew gum at the same time, can correctly identify the color yellow, and understand that a triangle has three sides. You look fine. Tuck in your shirt. Be respectful, confident, ....

Comment preview: That is very true. I say that intead of traditional strike, we help the employees gain new employment. This is coming from someone who worked at Walmart for two years. I am college educated, upper middle class, etc. My tenure there was very circumstantial, ....

Comment preview: >For the most part minimum wage is paid by large companies, Sodexo, walmart, aramark, target, mcdonalds. Companies that not only have huge profits, but also huge stockpiles of cash. This isn't how the world works. Walmart has a yearly revenue of 469 bil ....

Comment preview: I live in California now, but I used to work at Walmart when I was in high school. Honestly it wasn't bad. One of the better jobs I've had. Pay was decent, especially for a high schooler. Made an extra $1.50 for working night shift and an extra $.50 for wo ....

Comment preview: I am looking at the majority of comments on here and surprised to find so many vitriolic attitudes. As someone that has over 6 years of history with Walmart, I can honestly attest to the fact that they are one of the worst companies I have ever worked for. ....

Comment preview: Well, it's definitely not a happy story or anything. NSFL. I used to work at Walmart, and it was a surprisingly ho-hum place compared to all the Walmarts around America. Our photo center is in the back, leads directly to the back of the Walmart and has a s ....

Comment preview: Holy shit yes. When I needed a job after High School, Walmart was the only job I could get. And by "Only job I could get" I mean 20+ applications a day for almost 6 months. I had 5 interviews in that time period. I was pretty hesitant accepting the job bec ....

Comment preview: I used to work at Walmart and one day I was working as a door greeter (first person to OK all store returns) and an old black lady came into the store in a big hurry. She dumps about 6 shirts and 4 pairs of pants onto my little table and says she would li ....

Comment preview: But why should a 65 year old with serious health problems *have* to work? Many Republicans argue that government support encourages laziness, and that's true to some degree. But when you have a 65-year old with serious health problems acting as the respon ....

Comment preview: I'm not sure where you worked, but there are a few things that I'm skeptical about. I worked at walmart for about 2 years. 2 different stores, 2 different states. Wal-mart employees get a 40 cent raise every year, assuming they get a satisfactory evaluatio ....

Comment preview: Worked for Walmart can confirm...You get that and then how they are not anti-union but pro-associate. Then after being their awhile you realize just how pro-associate they are. You stop giving a fuck. When I worked electronics I would literally walk around ....

Comment preview: I always see these pictures and wonder what their story is. It *might* be because they just really like KFC. But, more than likely, that specific KFC holds some sort of special memory that is important to them. They possibly met there, or maybe even wor ....

Comment preview: >But people aren't forced to work at Wal-Mart I honestly don't understand how so many people on reddit can be so privileged and so lacking empathy. No, people aren't forced to work at Walmart, but many are forced to choose between being homeless or star ....

Comment preview: I have felt it rather tough at times to find employment. The most difficult part for me is the application process and having to contact so many companies that I begin to feel completely devalued because of all the rejection. I do not handle rejection well ....

Comment preview: I work at Walmart, and, if it's like a penny or a nickel's worth of change, I'll just let it go and put a penny or nickel in at some point throughout the day. Lots of people will just say to keep the change for the next person, and I'll just use it for tho ....

Comment preview: Worked for Walmart for 15 years in many positions at different stores (never home office). you need to understand 2 things: ALL big box retail stores run in a manner similar to this. If you're one of those "hur I'll go shop at Target" people, it's the same ....

Comment preview: I don't work at Walmart, but my roommate shops there frequently and I tag along. Here's my tips: Wear business casual. Nothing too crazy, just enough so they think you're management. I went with Blue shirt, slacks, phone holster and Bluetooth. Everyone wil ....

Comment preview: I work at Walmart and here are a couple secrets they don't want you to know: Almost anything can be returned, at least for store credit as long as it was bought at a Walmart. Sometimes you won't even need a receipt unless it's a very expensive item. Lots o ....

Comment preview: Humor me for a minute while I walk through the financial realities of Walmart's wage structure. Walmart posted $466 billion in sales last year. Their profit was $17 billion. For every $1.00 of revenue, Walmart earned 3.6 cents. Walmart paid $5.3 billion to ....

Comment preview: I worked at Walmart for a short while, and had some overtime one day. My manager approached me as I was about to clock in, saying to wait to clock in until after the meeting. So I waited outside in the general store area. She came back to me and said I nee ....
