If I ever get over this cold or whatever
it is I have, I think .I'm going to go
apply at .Walmart! Has anyone ever worked
there or know anyone who works there? .I'm
just wondering if it's a decent place to
work

I've never worked there. I imagine they
probably have a high turnover rate,
because everyone and their brother goes to
.walmart and a lot of those people are
rude. But you get to wear your own clothes
instead of a uniform, so that's a plus.
Don't you have a job already? Or am I
thinking of someone else?

Yeah I have a job but it's
factory/warehouse work & .I'm hating
it so much. I'd like to get a job where I
can work with people & kinda take
advantage of my little break from home if
that makes any sense at all.. .I'd like to
get a medical office assistant job but I
don't have any experience so I doubt I
could do that

I worked at Walmart for like 4 months. It
sucked @ss. I mean the pay isn't too bad,
but people are rude as hell. They treat
you like you are their slave because they
are a customer.

i would never work at walmart. they only
pay minimum wage and they dont let many
people work full time, because they dont
want to give benefits. walmart has been in
the news for its poor work ethics.

Actually they pay above minimum wage, and
a lot of people work full time. At least
at the one I worked at. The b*tched at me
all the time because I was supposed to be
full time, but I wasn't working enough
hours.

My husband and both of my brother in laws
have worked there full time for at least 7
years (my husband doesn't work there now
though). They think it is fine and they
say that if you hang in there you get
pretty good pay raises. You don't get
overtime so that is what bugs them but
other than that no complaints. They say
management makes all the difference.
Just remember that anywhere you work
retail you are going to be dealing with
annoying complaining people. It makes
allot nicer when you go shopping though

I looked into it but decided to work at
target as they paid a bit more. I only
worked there for months to get some money
extra money for my wedding.
target wasn't too bad...i'd try to go
there first.

my mum works at walmart in the tire lube
part (working on cars and stuff)
itsnot that bad, but its not good either,
the pay is ok, and the benefits are good,
but depending on your walmart it could
really suck, some are very sexist and
practically refuse to give women raises
and promotions (my mums worked there are
almost 7 years and she is one of the most
qualified people they have but they still
wont promote her, she is one of the only
ones who does what shes supose to do) and
a lot are getting very strict and
uncaring, they make you call a 1800 number
or wahtever when your sick or need off and
you have to give them your reason then
call your store and tell them then go and
give them a doctors note, and if you miss
too many days they health forum you out,
its like school all over again
oh and i think the worst part is if you
have a bad manager they are really mean
and will write you up for anything, my mum
got written up and now she cant transfer
to a new closer walmart for 6 monthes
because she had overtime...her manager
asked her to come in on her day off, its
not her fault, bleh whatever
so i guess the point of that is it depends
on the managment at the walmart your
looking at applying at, it can be good or
bad
