No home work life balance
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) - Texarkana, AR - August 4, 2022
They will give you a schedule and expect you to follow it to a T and not tell you when they change it. You will do your job and everyone else’s. They do not care.

Theft and high turnover

Freedom and decent benefits
General Store Manager (Current Employee) - Wesley Chapel, FL - August 1, 2022
Those things do come with a price. If you have a strong staff everything’s pretty cool. If you don’t the call offs can throw the whole team behind

Terrible Management
Cashier/Stocker/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Abilene, KS - August 1, 2022
Terrible management who was constantly angry over the smallest of things, and clearly had preferences for certain employees. Even those employees were treated badly.

Wouldn’t recommend
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Bennettsville, SC - August 1, 2022
The Pay sucks and it’s every two weeks. Barely get hours. Cool co-workers. Unorganized, needs a lot of structure. You have to do too much for such little pay. Could at least up the pay for all that is required of you to do.

If no one else shows ya required to stay to till close coustomers are rude just like management they don’t like to promote decent work ethic but rather give every thing to people who don’t work or even show up for their shift. I would rather work for Walmart again then these guys
