May 2018 - August 2019 • Sturgeon Bay, WI

What I liked

I liked how flexible they were about when I would work.

What I wish was different

I wish I would not have had to work every weekend. I understand that this is part of being in retail but it would have been nice to get a couple of weekends off to spend with family and friends.

I would recommend gaining as much knowledge as possible. I liked being trained in multiple parts of the store that way I could help out where ever my managers needed me.

Department managers

June 2015 • Montgomery, AL

What I liked

I actually love working for Walmart. I am Department Manager of Automotive. My work hours are long. Usually 10 hours then home for online classes at Troy Unversity. At Walmart, I am part of the Children’s Miracle Network team since social work is my degree path, and I also help law enforcement and schools by giving Walmart donations to the boys and girls in need. With that said, I had an extremely busy summer working while giving back and still working at Walmart as a Department Manager. Student, Wendy Smith

What I wish was different

Nothing!

Advice

Giving back to others enrich my life as well as those around me. It blows my soul wide open when I see the spark in others from giving.

Check Out Cashier

May - August 2019 • Ahoskie, NC

What I liked

The other cashiers I worked with were always helpful and willing to answer any questions I had.

What I wish was different

Advice

Be willing to ask questions. If you don't and you face a problem you don't know how to handle, it's harder to figure it out in the moment.

Walmart Cashier

July - August 2019 • Rexburg, ID

What I liked

I liked having a steady and dependable job. I also worked with two of my brothers.

What I wish was different

The teamwork. You don't get to know the other cashiers very well because you clock in and the stand behind your own register for four hours while every other cashier does the same, so there wasn't a lot of time get to know each other and form any sort of work "family". In the end I was offered a position at another company not even a month after starting at Walmart. I now work at A.C.Moore where I know my fellow coworkers much better. It offers a more friendly environment and I look forward to go to work 'cause I know I have friends there.

Advice

Wear good shoes, take your breaks outside (the breakroom is stifling) and ask for Sundays off. Having that little bit of a weekend does wonders.

Department Manager

April - July 2019 • Carmi, IL

What I liked

What I wish was different

I think that if management would have put more effort into the store, and understood the tasks each person did at Walmart, there would be more happy employees and customers.
