My daugh-n-law does walmart because the hours are great for being home with kids after-school etc etc.. it makes money sense, In her neck fo the woods nite pay over 9+$- I P/T at HD and also have done Lowes, it's all about the same. retail- my other kid managed lowes, ft locker and now a bedding place,,, all about the same.. retail; and the same managers go from one store to another- and now with the ACA, health thing,.... OMG they can all kiss my derriere, making $$ zillions and have cut employees to the bare minimum... Lord- Jan 1 be the end of it for me quit or BUST.
I haven't, but have known or currently know 4 people who do: 4 of them were managers. One of my mgr friends was suing hemfor something & I never knew what became of that. Another friend has been an asst mgr for probably a decade. The latest, my young cousin just got a job there.
None of them loves/loved it. They do it to make a living & that's it.
Meant to say 3 of them were mgrs.
But don't you want more for yourself? As time passes (& we get older), we're supposed to aspire for better, NOT just the same. Why are you just wanting to jump across, rather than upward?
I have worked for Walmart for about 8 years and have been a dept manager for 6 of those years. The job is stressful and there are never enough hours in the day to do all that needs to be done. As in all retail nowadays you do more with less meaning, that you have to be focused and really prioritize your work load.
Having said that my starting pay from memory was $8.50 per hour and and I now earn closer to $17.00 now. Walmart has looked after me and most of the people that complain about the company are those that want something for nothing. If all you want is a pay check and this is what you project whilst at work then you will never move forward and always be lowly paid. If you are committed to what you do you can move up and increase your income. The choice is yours. Work and succeed or be a bleeding heart.

If only that were true.
