if youve been at a job for over a year and the new guy makes the same amount as you it kills your motivation, dont blame the employees blame the employer.
I have worked for my state for almost 16 years. Someone tgat just got hired makes the exact same amount. We are the worst paid state for my job in the USA and people bitch because they think we make to much. Ironically those same people can look up what we make because most government employees have their wages listed on the internet.
Don't blame the employer, blame the POS politicans in office for wanting a $15/hour. I've been at WM for 14 years. If they were FORCED into hiring someone at $15 an hour, they'd be making just a little less than I would be.
I worked in Walmart for 6 years. The favoritism is what made me leave. The less you worked, the better chance of promotion. Our store manager and a couple assistants were stealing hundreds of thousands, the cashiers were stealing, and over nights weren't paying their lunches. That was all okay, because they were favourites, but a hard worker just had to forget to count 5 cents in her cash and she was slammed with a coaching. It got to the point where the hard working ones did the job of ten people while the lazy just talked and did nothing. I barely shop there now. I could never support a place that treats their good employees so poorly. I was in the cash office part time. I was fantastic at my job. I could finalize my day in less than two hours, when the full time position opened up, I was given a huge bullshit monologue about how someone else was better fit for the job.... and I had to train her for the job I wanted and had been doing for 6 years. The total lack of respect was baffling. I couldn't imagine spending another month in a place that could treat a person like garbage.
Yeah, when I worked at Walmart, at least towards the end of my employment there, I would walk around the store muttering to myself, "I hate this fucking job" over and over.
I can definitely vouch for this, I work customer service and hit my breaking point today when I was supposed to get off and no one was there to cover and my managers wouldn’t do anything to help me get off so I just had to leave , this has been happening like the past two weeks yet they won’t schedule the customer service employees more than 20 hours a week so we’ve been fucked the whole time , gonna probably quit soon cause I actually don’t think I can take it mentally anymore
Working at Walmart is kind of like doing time in prison. The people who have been there longer than 5 years stay there for life and they are well aware of the fact that they are working in their grave. I've never been at a place where I could feel the seconds ticking away from my life. I've never experienced anything like that anywhere before
I am a college student and working with Walmart for a year now and trust me its hell , they torture their employees to death 1.Manager dont do their job and ask employees to do their job for them. 2. Supervisor are not present especially at cash register when you need them most. 3.I saw one of my friend get harrassed by a customer, instead of kicking customer out superviser sugar coated and give customer gift card and coached that employee and she was literally crying. 4.They keep messing up your schedule and wont fix it aka you will get tardies 5. I am student and I need less then 30 hours, Walmart think 39 hours are part time and 50 hours is full time. They keep increasing my work hours and work load. 6. They make you to do stuff which is not under your job description. One I was feeling sick I tried talking to my manager I caint push carts and pushing carts is not under my job description she said "WHY YOU NO CO OPERATING" she make me push carts for three hours and mule was broke and instead of helping me she was smoking outside. 7. I saw some people stealing in hardware section many I tried talking to assistant manager she said she is gonna take a look . But how she is gonna take look if the camera are not even working. I saw those people again stealing something and I didn't give a fudge. 8. The only holiday I got days off was on Christmas that's it. They even make us work on memorial day , thanks given and like he said it's true during black Friday they start black Friday on Thursday and torture their employees especially cashiers. To all the people please do not work in Walmart especially if your a student. Trust me they Walmart will squeeze every bit of INSANITY from your soul
Trust me walmart has not changed. Currently work there for the christmas season. Managers Suck ass. Wasn't even trained by the managers and had other employees teach me how to do the job. Management is basically the worst part about the job
as a person who worked there...yeah it was bad. but the thing that strikes me as the worst...is the "indoctrination films and tests" that you have to do. that is just unconscionable! and im a smart enough person, that i saw it for what it was, but others? yeah, they really didn't understand, and "took up" the rhetoric, not knowing that they were perpetuating the mindset, and screwing themselves over, by doing it.
I work at Walmart and you literally just explained the job perfectly. Still the same exact way nothing has changed. Lazy co workers, shitty management, shitty job in general.
Walmart is a very terrible place to work at. I have not worked there myself, but I have heard many rumors and stories of that place being bad to work at.
Seems like every business get those expensive security cameras that can zoom in real close and they are never on same way with automatic lock gates they break and then they just keep them wide open
I worked there and HATED IT. They still do not care about what happens in their stores. They do not hire full time and make you bust your ass to earn that full time status for sub par benefits and sub par pay. Oh and if you have a family? Kiss them goodbye while working at walmart they do not like you having time away from their slave camps.
Which came first? Hell or Wally world? I guess we won't know till we die. But I hear that every time you enter a wall Mart, part of your soul is transfered into that ginger Lindsey Lohan.
I worked at Walmart for five years and that's a rare thing at my store. I have autism so it was easy for them to target me. I got pulled into the office for stupid things that I had no part of. I had associates show up late mostly to talk to each other or smoke. I normally get cornered by three of them and I told them why you are harassing me they gave a snarky reply of 'we're allowed to stalk you it's our job' I quit not that long ago because the lies, the favoritism and of course the most of all the stalking. I got called on my day off to come in because they were heavy handed. That wasn't true, but then they refused to pay me because it was considered my day off. I'm glad I got out of there because the stress. They made me feel like I was at fault for their failures. The only reason they are managers at Walmart is because they lack intelligence and it's easy to bully someone. Anyways I feel like stressed and happier. I implore people still working there it's not worth it to work at a company that 'targets' specific people. You may be a favorite now, but what happens when they turn your direction?
I got mad because I look really young but I'm really not that young. I'm in my 30s. And they treated me like their little slave. Which really made me mad. I got tired of the disrespect. Tired of walking in and never knowing what we are gonna do either. Tired of it. Then other day she was like go to the cash register. I've told her a lot that I do not want to do that. I'm really stubborn and I quit. I'm just tired of the disrespect.
My son works for Wal-Mart. Picked his check up and was missing hours. He went to his supervisor and was told yeah, that happens. Then went to payroll and they said he didn't clock in/out. Which is impossible because as you know you have to clock out for lunch, clock back in and clock out when you leave. They say that there is no clock in or out for that day. I would say, maybe he forgot to clock in. But to miss all those clock in/outs is impossible. He is harassed daily, where they tease him, make fun of him and he's went to the supervisor and nothing is being done. They just continue to pick on, sometimes to the point where he is being bullied. I am in shock on how uncaring these people are towards their employees to where they work, don't get paid for it. Being bullied on a daily basis. It's ridiculous
Absolutely true !!Don't ever work for this company! The company I used to work for does demos at Walmart. I work for another demo company now but a girl that I was training had a tablet stolen . She looked all of the store she was so upset. So she went to security and security showed that she left it at the self-checkout but she was just at the self-checkout asking the Walmart employee that worked at the self-checkout, you know the ones that help customers at the self-checkout, if he saw a tablet there and he told her no. But security oh, that you went to after twice speaking to this Walmart employee if he saw a tablet and he told her both times no, he saw her looking under the self-checkout machine she was at looking behind it to look for this tablet he saw her doing this, so when she couldn't find it she wants to security and security showed that Walmart worker who works at the self-checkout taking her tablet and putting it under his podium. But then she asks him twice as he saw it and he told her now she planned on keeping it that's what it was. And they didn't fire him
I live in a very safe town, cops are vigilant but you don't go to Walmart after dark or after 9pm. A couple years ago I needed something and Walmart was the only place in town that would have what I needed. I went to electronics to get what I needed and was on my way up to the front to pay for it. This dude starts yelling and running after me. He demanded I give him what I had because it was the last one. He literally tried to grab it out of my hand and he started to make a fist with his other hand and I pulled my firearm. When he realized what I had he tried to yank the item one more time then he jumped back. I hadn't pulled my firearm out completely so I reholstered it. He kept cussing me and told me he was going to end me. He reached from his back and started to pull something out. I pulled my firearm completely out and was lifting my hand. He stopped then turned to run. I just put my firearm back. A lady that saw all this chewed me out for conceal carrying a firearm. I explained I carry legally and it was none of her business. A guy saw it and told the lady to shut up and go on about her business. The guy thanked me for thinking fast on my feet. The lady ended up complaining about me, not the dude who tried to rob me. The assistant manager threatened to call the cops on me. There were no signs posted about being a gun free zone. When I pointed that out the assistant manager just turned and walked away.
No fire? Where the heck was that? Certainly not where I worked as a cashier for a few months. Of course, cashier were considered more valuable and we couldn't tell anyone how much we made (more than just about everyone else). We were expected to stay in our area, which meant were were not running around helping stock anything or customers. I only quit because a very "well known", crazy, tall, very fat woman was screaming obscenities at me because she had no food stamps left and the head cashier was hiding and not responding to my numerous pages. I quit on the spot.
I was a cashier and we made min wadge we didn't make more than anyone else infact other departments make more and I just switched dept 4 days ago so IDK if that's just where u are but it's not where I am

@@CoffeeTalkLive I have felt that way a little a few times, but I'm finding more things that are good: a new love, a new laptop, new friends, etc. iM' fixing up my department. I can't do everything, but I am listening to management a little bit more than others in my department do. I have to do a lot of cleaning and also, I give management adice for saving money on ordering. so, even those I'm disabled, I think Wal-Mart might use me in a way few get used. I'm an overworked cashier, but if I eat right and have my boyfriend around, I'll be okay.
The Wal-Mart junk is making me understand life so for me, this is awesome. I'll get stronger. Wal-Mart is like a drug: it works differntly for everyone.
Coffee Talk I’ve worked at 3 different stores. The first one I hated the store manager but the rest of the managers were great then I moved and started at the Walmart there and absolutely loved everything about it but moved back to my hometown and started at a 3rd Walmart and didn’t mind that at all just far from home. The closer Walmart which was the original one I started at I actually loved being there but then I met someone closer to the 3rd store so I transferred back and absolutely loved it until now. The new managers are horrible!!!! I never thought I’d leave Walmart until these managers came. I finally had enough. Nothing we do is good enough and their expectations are absolutely ridiculous!
I worked at a neighborhood market Walmart for a little over 2 years. Overnight stocking and it was the worst experience. All the people I worked with started off completely clean, ended up on hardcore drugs... that place turned me into an extreme alcoholic. I’m now working a different Walmart, 2nd shift and it’s way better. I have good managers so I’m lucky. Although, most other employees are lazy so I am the one to warn customers what to stay away from and why....
I hated working in retail Being on my feet for 7 to 8 hours With only a 30 minute lunch break My feet/legs was killing me when I got home. - Just to get $15/an hour
I work there now as a cap 2 associate and it's the absolute worst experience ever. Coworkers are super disrespectful toward me, managers tend to pick on me a lot, and I hate the attendance policy. I just wish this company closed its doors for good. It's trash
You’re story is the complete opposite of my Walmart experience, I used to work overnights and they expected us to be fast asf , we were completely understaffed and I had to complete the entire home department by MYSELF while every other section had more than 2 employees and if I didn’t finish they gave me shit. They were also very strict on attendance.
That's currently how Walmart is. Very strict on attendance and productivity. In the early 2000s when I first started working for them you could call out as many times as you want. There was one year I called that like 30 or 40 times and never even got written up for it.
I was an ASM and worked at that toxic shit hole for 14 years. A wasted 14 years. Unrealistic expectations and incompetent, ignorant management from the top down- All Their new programs were inconsistent and ridiculous. The employees are always complaining and very negative. I shop their because their prices are hard to beat. Every time I go back in there they always tell me how horrible it has gotten and how worse the attitude is and then they ask when I’m coming back!! Lmao 😂. Yeah, the answer is always NEVER!!!!! Once you get out of that rut, stay out of that dead 💀 soulless/toxic environment...
just gonna tell my experience working at a neighborhood walmart so far... so im a overnight stocker just like what this guy was. ive been there for less than 2 weeks & 1st thing is the nonexistent training. they just told me basic stuff like how to read the upc number on the tag & match it with what im stocking (as if i couldnt put 2&2 together🙄). that was basically it. nobody told me how to properly get a tailzone, how to do the important stuff with it or anything like that. its basically like they just sat me on a computer for 3 days then decide to just throw me out there in the warzone. they assigned me canned goods & cereal aisles. from my perspective so far, the assistant manger doesnt give a damn that youre new, they demand that you put out 50 cases an hour even if you dont know where a particular item goes they dont give af you had better put out that freight! (thats the attitude im sensing from this manager) its not about anybody caring its more about the assistant managers not caring about their employees. like i said, i just started so of course im not gonna be on point as the others at this time but its like they ignore that or have no understanding idk. youre essentially training yourself about any & everything. if anybodys lazy, its these managers that just stands at the front for 9 hours staring at you or in the back doing something. its a shitty experience for me so far but i think its also because we're understaffed so the pressures on us to put out like 1000+ piece truck with only like 4-5 employees (some nights even less). btw im not the fastest stocker there is but i am keeping up with some of these coworkers whose been here for years so im not really worried about anything. i can only get better from here & they wont fire me because they really need help stocking. but anyways, i feel like im leaving out alot stuff but thats all i can think of right now.
I used to work for Walmart and left due to a move. Just before I left they put the Pathways into use. What it is way to got from sales associate, stock, casher to be able to be promoted to a department head or Assistant Manager.
I worked at Walmart from 2014 to 2016 and everything you talked about in your video they still do as far as taking extended breaks and management splitting up associates. And everyone from management to associates don't care about their jobs being done or not.
DJ ActavisBestFrien pretty much my experience so far but the only difference is that they threw me into the produce and deli within a week so they trained me for shit they didn't even need me in
I worked for Walmart for about 6 months and hated every second of it. I worked 2nd shift stockroom; we were the ones that unload the trucks and put them on palettes for 3rd shift. First of all, other places I worked the trucks are loaded with care. The items in the truck are stacked on palettes and wrapped with thick cellophane. The contents of the trucks that deliver new stock to Walmart are just thrown in and piled on top of each other, and because of this it would take over an hour to unload a truck This is why I never buy electronics from Walmart, because they usually are shipped with a few hundred pounds of loose, shifting, merchandise piled on them. They made us watch a video in orientation about how you are NOT allowed to work if you're not on the clock, but at least twice a week I would be asked to help out with something, or perform some task, as I was heading out the store to go home. About a week before I quit I was asked to climb into the store dumpster and remove any trash that people had driven up and tossed in. I looked at the manager like he was crazy and told him to get the custodial staff to do that -- they got paid more than me and that was a lot closer to their job description than mine.
Coffee Talk - funny you say that in your video. I was going to...and I use to work for them. Contemplating on my life. I use to work as a cart pusher as the new guy trying to not screw up but it didn’t matter how far I went with my job...constantly moving and getting carts. Shit! I worked in thunder and lightning. So nobody can complain that there’s no carts in the tunnel. My depression got worse through out. But funny you’ve mentioned it.
i’ve worked at walmart for a little over 3 months and people are quitting. i wish i could get away with an hour break. i got reprimanded because i accidentally took a 20 minute break once. I’m a cashier and so it gets really busy and some customers are just so rude. i share the tiny square locker with i think one other person. also i hate having a camera right above me my whole shift, it’s so creepy and i’m literally being watched. The only people at walmart who seem to even slightly enjoy their job are the people who get paid the most. everytime i go into the back to clock in, i just feel the negativity literally radiating off the people who work back there. The only thing that puts me in a better mood are the other friendly cashiers upfront and the occasional really nice customer that comes through my line.
I use to work there I hated it completely worked there 7 years been gone 12 years now.will never go back. The store manager himself was not friendly.I was there like 7 years & there was complete years he said nothing at all to me.I think quitting there was best thing I ever done. I am much happier & less stressful too.
I work at a Walmart in Ohio and while I agree with a lot of what you say Walmart has some new tricks too. I work second shift stockman and a lot of us really don’t care because people in the shift before us and the one after us are always screwing everything up and we have to fix it. The firing policy now they will fire you for almost any reason unless they like you or you’re special needs. One guy uses his mom’s cancer as an excuse to get paid to stay home and play Xbox. The people I worked with would regularly get three to five pallets done a night plus unload all of the two to seven trucks we get all in eight hours as well as fix everything from the other shifts. They don’t like you talking to each other because they don’t want union talk coming up. If they even suspect you’re thinking the word union they will fire you. They even have anti-union propaganda videos as part of your orientation. It is a hard job and the customers alone are dreadful enough to deal with because they think they are so far above you, but also they play the same forty songs over and over again all day every day like they do to prisoners in Guantanamo. They rarely ever recognize hard work and when they do it’s usually with old bakery food and stale chips. Our equipment is shit and we only get new stuff when another department or another shift asks for it basically meaning that they think more highly of the slackers than us. I have yet to meet a single Walmart employee who likes their job. It’s a horrible place and they always talk down to you. You only get a 10% discount which other than gasoline, alcohol, and tobacco with you buying your lunches and stuff there go figure food being the one thing you buy most doesn’t get discounted.
Sounds like thinks aren't that much better. And I forgot about the Walmart music! Constant rotation of the same crap, when I worked at Bradlees they did the same thing.
Long story short; if you had to pick between two retailers to work for, choose Target. Target customers in general are just more human and inviting. Target employees are more down-to-earth and willing to get stuff done. IN MY EXPERIENCE... of course. I worked with a great team in the Frozen Dairy department and everyone got along. Team leaders were super relaxed but knew when to put their foot down to get stuff done. I really liked the 401k plan, company match up to 5%. Only reason why I left Target was that I was moving into a new area 40 minutes away and I wasn't going to commute for $12.50/hr. My car did end up breaking down during the move where it wouldn't start and I ended up no calling no showing and promptly got laid off.. I was pretty upset at first but then I got a job at Costco. I already really like the company 20x better and since the warehouse is still being built I haven't met any of my leaders or co-workers.. but I bet they'll be fine. Even keeps my commute to less than 12 minutes.
it is true many workers do not give a shit about the job and often they do not care about the shopers. if you want to live stay away from my walmarts meat department and watch the can goods to because they often do not bother checking dates and or if can goods are not damaged so warning to the wise check your goods before leveing the store and as for the no fire policey it dose not exsist any more or my ex would still have a job they now have a point sytem get so many points your fired.and as for breaks well do not count on much of one. and yea over night workers are lazy and yea equipment sucks but I do not blame them for not using electriccart pushing devices anymore as the cart pushers often abused them and broke them so yea understand takeing them out.walmart needs to realy rethink the sucky running of things and my aunt worked at the main building in Arkansas and told me the scary stories. and yea stealing is common and damageing items is common place.
A bit dramatic. It's just a job. Don't complain and just be happy to have a job. I worked construction for 3.5 years before doing night stocking at Wal-Mart and yeah I made a bit less money but they gave me breaks (something you get once in a blue moon doing construction) they gave me medical, dental, and vision (something many off my other jobs didn't supply including construction) tons of funding for college, Store discounts, Flexible hours, a solid pto rate, tons of opportunities to move up to higher paying positions, 401k, and a great training program.
Thanks for this. I had an interview at Walmart for electronics department and or apparel. It's safe to say I won't be pressuring this as an option anymore. From what I've heard from numerous people it sucks ass working there and the only reason they stay is because they either have kids or are in college and need the money or they can't find anything else. I have an interview at target as well and I feel like that will be much better. I heard that at target it really depends on the store for weather it's going to suck or not and the target I applied for is in a rich neighborhood so even if management sucks at least I can gawk at all the milfs and rich college girls that come in instead of the ratchet trash that goes to Walmart
I worked at both. a Super Target ( T-1776) and a Wal-Mart (1308) that was remodeled into a supercenter. It was Target I had problems with. I worked there for almost 3 years. and during that time, had received $0.94 raise in pay. $8.44 an hour. left Target for Wal-Mart. Starting pay was $10.00 an hour. after 6 1/2 years there, some physical ailments had caught up with me and had to leave. by then I was making 13.50 an hour. I had no complaints with Wal-Mart. management was awesome. and more than willing to help me through my ailments. I wish you luck if you chose Target.
Im 18 and i have been working for walmart for 4 months now and i entered expecting it to be like one of these horror stories. I was very wrong. Everyone i know works hard and the management is very professional. It most definitely depends what store. Walmart is increasing starting pay to $10 from $9 in a month or two.
Walmart and Target are just about the same as far as management attitude goes. At Target you will get bounced around every department in the store in one night due to call ins. As far as management goes they think they are something special all because the work at the at Target. And HR there will find every way in the book to get rid of you. even to the point of redoing your schedule to make sure you come in at the wrong time to make it look like a no call no show even after you copied the schedule and checked it twice so they have a reason to terminate you. They are looking for a certain person to fit their narrow window of what they are looking for. Even if you get hired they really don't what you there.
I went in for an interview dressed in a female pant suit, applying to the jewelry department. The manager said, “Wow, you are way over dressed, I am sorry I don’t have any management positions open. I will give you the top of the pay scale, you’re hired. Over dressed? Is there such a thing? Apparently, most of his interviewees came in pajamas and ripped shorts.
im working at walmart as a stocking ta. getting paid 11hr 3am to midnight. i feel like i work harder than i get paid. we always have meetings and say how we need to speed up and get things done as fast as we can. or managers will tell us what time we need to be done with freight. i realized that i’ve been working full time when i started off part time. i don’t remember putting full time on my application. but they got me working 5 days this coming week with only 1 rest day. that’s 40hrs 😒
@@CoffeeTalkLive i’m not sure i never got to work those 40 hours because i asked her was i full or part time and she said i’m part time. so i asked about the 40 hours and could she change it. she told me they scheduled me to work 40 hours cause we are short on stockers and i felt that was very unfair that they did that. so i told her those 40 hours is too much for me especially if all i’m getting is one day off.
Things have changed drastically from what you depicted. As for the "no fire policy," that's no longer the case. Everything is through algorithms now. There's a point system now. Every late login accounts against you.
sounds like alot of lazy people don't like to work. I worked for Walmart for 25 years and what I didn't like was working with lazy people. If you accept a job do it to the best of your ability everyday.
@@Th33Vultur3 where im at we dont have that clause. but here the managers are scumbags. ive been away from there for awhile now though so hey. but i cant tell ya if you shop at walmart make sure you check dates and even food some of that shits cross contaminated and even spoiled. found one batch of stuff that had worms going through it in my store and was told to put it out anyhow. so yea im glad im away from walmart.
I too worked at Walmart, it sucked. One thing that drove me up the wall was, when I first started the job they'd be ok with keeping track of breaks. As I went on there'd be times I'd take breaks late. I figured they were busy and just a little slow on getting people so I'd just patiently wait. That is until the second time I was three hours late for lunch and got chewed out for not telling anyone. I was told if my relief was even 15 minutes late to tell someone. The next time it happened it was probably about 20 minutes late when I called someone and they snapped at me to be patient because they're working on getting someone. After awhile I got fed up so I'd keep track of time myself and I'd say "Oh its time for lunch,break,leaving,or whatever. "And just close up the till then, which they didn't like. But if I didn't I'd be late and stuck in here so knows how long.
the no fire policyis definatly in effect now at walmarts now you can pretty much be fired for breaking wind cross ways or any other petty thing. more and more people are having mental break downs from working there mine happened this past Christmas where I spend my holidays in a mental hospital from what that compny did to me.
AlwaysBaroque Without giving too many details, I recently "retired" after a few years at WalMart. It hasn't gotten better David, it has gotten WORSE. I worked with a lot of people who did care-however the head office in Arkansas started issuing edicts from on high. The upshot was that employees were treated like s**t. As an employee, they forced you to not care just to survive. When theft is so high by customers and employees are told to do nothing, yet employees were treated with distrust. I hope that you are never desperate enough to work there againn'
They have a new fire policy now. For new hires, if you are absent more than 4 times in 6 months, you're out. For those who have been there more than 6 months, you're allowed 9 absences in 6 months. More than 9 and you're out, even if you've been there 20 years. I've seen it happen. They do stand by that new policy. I've worked there now for four years-- and what a ride it has been. I was just promoted to CSM (a position I voluntarily applied for)- probably one of the worst jobs the company. No on-the-job training except for the tutorial videos on the GMLS (Global Learning Mgmt System). It's not easy working for Walmart- by any means. It's not for everyone. The best advice I can offer someone just starting out there is to just show up for work and do what you're asked to do. I've made plenty of mistakes over the four years-- fireable mistakes-- but they don't fire me. Probably because I can collect unemployment on those mistakes. If you show up for work as scheduled, it's almost impossible to get fired- they will forgive your mistakes-- it is human err. Just don't curse at a customer, or ram a cart into a customer's car (I've witnessed the latter ) and you'll get what you came there for without a hitch: money.
Contrary to what Walmart might think, at my company we frequently work together. I have a person in particular that I work with a lot actually, we get things done faster together and we actually motivate eachother to do a good job and we part of that is due to enjoying time at work.
That's the problem with hourly pay vs salary. There's no incentive to get your job done. Thus, your job becomes overly scrutinized by management and usually there's a lot of whip cracking, demanding you do 4 hours of work in 3. Salary jobs are very hard to come by in this day and age. Most employers just want cheap temp labor that they don't have to commit to.
The people who care and do a good job are the ones management picks on the most. I worked for Walmart for 7 years and was constantly being piled up with projects I couldn't get done in a shift. When I was leaving and got to a stopping point I was called lazy by an assistant manager who hid most of his shift.
Wrong about firing,,,I got fired because I reported management to corporate,,,corporate sent my name and email to management!! I was told I had no respect for my job?? I stocked chemicals n half of the paper goods which was another employees section!! They got the higher pay while I received the lowest!! ,,,,I've witnessed most employees were having relations with many others although they was married so yes wal mart is hell
I've worked for walmart for about 5 years and it was a shithole!!! I've worked all shifts, and I was employee of the month 2 months in a row. and that's because I was dedicated and learned how to work in almost every department. but idc who you are, there's no way you went through 5 pallets (skids) in 8 hours. I mean 1 and a half or 2 pallets sounds about right. but 5? cmon now.
Anthony Ritenour I work at Walmart neighborhood market almost all pallets are 8 feet high for grocery.. I can throw 5 of the 4 feet tall ones in my shift easy! I work 3 aisles a night..pet food,toilet paper,and laundry soap/chemicals
an entire team on delivery day (mondays and thursdays) at where I currently work we get through nearly 9 to 14 (at most!) in almost 4 hours but this team is around 10 people and the pallets range from about 6~8 feet, though again: it's an entire team (mileage varies) sometimes we are done by noon, sometimes we are done 90 minutes before, sometimes we take until 4PM (which was a horrible day because it was the same day we were down to like 4 people!)
I met a guy who was hired at Target tell me he'd been fired from Walmart for calling in sick 3 days in a row with the flu. He did say they sucked, but maybe there are two sides to that story. Incidentally, I was hired exactly a day after this video was uploaded on 9 May at a Neighbourhood Market store but didn't take it because I decided to move. I wonder if the smaller market grocery stores are different than the bigger ones.
the lunch breaks are now an hour long, it's very nice to be able to take your time. we have quite a few pallet jacks everyone hates to use, especially if you're moving a heavy pallet, and they don't seem to care to fix or replace them. stocking carts with missing handles. I can attest to not being careful with fragile merchandise. while we unload trucks, it gets thrown around carelessly. their lack of caring has been explained as follows: (direct quote) "they got insurance on it." 🙄 the dress code allows for more self expression now, but there are still guidelines to follow. no shirts with logos etc., but that rule still gets broken on a daily basis. the McDonald's in our store closed and is now used for extra storage. I ate there once on a break, and saw them make my food, put it on a tray, and walk past it making milk shakes and what not until I finally asked them: "should i walk behind the counter and get it myself ?" it sucked anyway once I finally got it. I see why they closed, due to very bad service. but great video, and very relatable.
I was a cashier at Walmart for 7 Years and every assistant manager and one co manager and the store manager paid with foodstamps once or twice a month. They would bring in all of their family members in with them. That was very hard to absorb. I always thought that they earned enough not to be on foodstamps. I'm talking about 400.00 to 700.00 a transaction, I had to make the big transactions into two because of over rides. These families always had 5 kids though. I know their store discount was more than 10 Percent like most associate's. Walmart really needs to take a look at becoming unionized.
So honestly what if you're looking for a way to get back into the workplace after being out of work for a couple years? You complained about people not caring but is it people not caring mixed with management that are assholes? I've found people not caring only really affects me at work if I have to pick up the slack for others or if management is equally crappy to everyone if work doesn't get done, can you comment on how the experience was with management?
I gave 7 years of my life to Walmart and they gave me the boot. They made up a reason to fire me and three other employees two weeks before Christmas because they were eliminating as many full-timers as they could to reduce company personnel overhead, mostly so they could avoid paying full-time benefits. On top of that they refused me unemployment benefits and the Texas Workforce Commission wouldn't even grant me a hearing, which shows who has the power in that area. Walmart operated with a skeleton crew and often during the evenings I was the only employee on my entire half of the store. Also, managers, at least in my store, #602 in the Woodlands Texas, routinely spied on employees and had no problem with talking down to or yelling at you for any reason. And the manager who fired me, Debby Dupre Jones, was nuts. I have nothing but sheer contempt for that wretched company and I hope their inevitable bankruptcy happens ASAP.
I am a department manager at my local Walmart. I try to keep my associates from working in the same aisles simply because they don’t get any work done when they are together. I have to run a tight ship. My people try to disappear to the break room and hang out for an hour even when it isn’t their break time. Everyone thinks they should be able to get away with calling off all the time for some reason. It is so hard to find quality people these days!!! I have had my own locker for 12 years!! We don’t share lockers in my store.
I work for Walmart.com customer service line, an outsourcing company provides the service to Walmart, but let me tell you, what sucks is Walmart. I'm AM part time, well paid for only 6 hours a day. However, Walmart has a lot to improve, not only at the stores but with the online orders as well. Also, please guys if you shop on Walmart.com, be patient and try to be good with the customer service line. We receive a lot of shit daily when it's not even our fault. We have to follow processes, we can't skip the policies just because. I know it's frustrating because Walmart ruins almost everything, but the customer service line literally struggle all day.
Yep I had a death very close to my family and I needed to take off a day during the week to attend a viewing. My HR Manager said that only way I can take that one day off is if I either use one of my call outs or be taken off the schedule the whole week. So I told her to just take me off the whole week. All throughout that day I kept going back to my Walmart schedule app and checking if she took me off the schedule for that whole week. My shift goes by and I check the app I’m still on schedule. The next day, I wake up I check the app to see if she took me off yet, I’m still on there.. so I had to make a call out bc my HR manager told me I had to take the whole week off, I called the Walmart at that morning to try to get an answer from the HR. She wasn’t in. So today I call to see if she is in which she is. And I explain to her that she forgot/ did not remove me from the schedule that week. And then she tells she could have just taken me off for the day of the viewing...so basically I got fucked over for doing what I was told to do, and it’s all bc she FORGOT to remove me. And ofc her story changes and I have no way to defend myself Bc I’m just an employee.
I also just wanted to add, my HR manager showed no sympathy and also reminded me that it’s not an immediate family member who has past. Just goes to show how much people care.
I work for one of Walmart's DC's ... the no talking policy is dead on.. as far as a reluctance to fire.. lol you have not worked for the Distribution center yet.. ;)
You are talking about Wal-Mart, I have been working at 711 store & it's the same picture. Here it's even worse the owner, manager my coworkers, all are thieves. They don't like honest hard working employees at all
Coffee Talk ,not only that owner's family members are also employees but never work but making money. We need more employees & he doesn't care about it. Good employees don't last here for long ,sometimes employees get caught by stealing but never get fired or punishment. It's like you are thieves and I am a thief & look each other's back live happily. The problem is that they like to pick on honest one
My son worked at walmart...he has too good of work morals for there. . But he could do pallets like nobody's biz. Caught a kid from the street stealing off the truck...Walmart says let them do it, you can't interfere...BUT...we dock all you guys wages for the theft. My son says oh no you don't, I'm protecting my wages. They let him. But he didn't stay long now has a nice job that he really likes. Walmart is seriously messed up.
I am a department manager at a Walmart for the Frozen food section . I honestly shouldnt have taken the position because now I deal with an even more disfunctional problem of the store when i already was dealing with lack of associates and lack of them being productive . There is a new system or "process" of how you go about your day called "One best way " I thought it was awesome because now i can do thr process and my assistant and co managers will do their part of it as well , but no . The district office tells me what items they want on display in my section , but my assistants and co's wanted to do their own thing which resulted in build up in my storage because i wouldnt have room for the items that district sent me to put up . I notified them and they thanked me for telling them wjat was going on and nothing changed . Eventually i started putting what my managers wanted on display , but when id do what one of them said , another would tell me i shouodnt do that and tell me to put something else on display instead . It is just a disfunctional system when there is this foundation of how you go about your day and how things should be done , but when your superiors dont even do it and do what they want , it just results in you having a really stressful job and it honestly will make you look bad because you will always be doing something wrong .
We had department managers that didn't even know where things where in the store! Worked there 10 1/2 years as a greeter and to get help from someone in that store was just crazy, they didn't care about the customer, I was always apologizing for the behavior! Stockers omg you have to bring old stuff from back to front, stockers don't do that! Being a greeter and now a customer you find really old products, I freaked out when I found spoiled and rotted products! We had not only employee theft but we had at least 3 store managers steal thousdands! As a greeter we were instructed to check employee's bags some would do it other were just rude! Now that they did away with the older handicapped greeters in the high loss stores they have these young kids that are worthless, the aren't even doing anything different than we the older handicapped greeters did!
I currently work for a walmart store and I use to be a stocker and let me tell you that I always got pulled into the office for nor being productive enough. I always had to tell them it's because I'm always fixing 3rd shifts mess since stuff never got rotated and all that. I work self-checkout now and management at my store still pulls you into the office for BS.
I had to quit just recently because they wouldn't accommodate my injured feet. Asset protection would get so onery about it because I was in such dire pain that I had to sit down before it got worse. And on some days it was painful enough that I had to call out of work a day a week in order to recover them, and the points were just racking up too quickly. Absolutely agree, it was probably the worst place I ever worked at.
I just came across this now haha anyway. I worked at walmart 3 different times in 2 different states when I was a young adult. You are 100% spot on. They didnt even care if you stole food to eat on your lunch break or get something from the hot case and take it to the break room. I worked in the garden center and it sucked they had no AC in 100 degree AZ weather.
I have been working at walmart for 3 months and i hate it The employes hate their jobs ,the managers dont give a fuck about the employes, they gave me 40hours a week when i ask for 20-25 when i got hired. I am thinking about quitting soon because they dont really respect me And Also everything you explain is still the same now
I have worked retail and ALL RETAIL WORK SUCKS! Dave! I think it's one of the WORST JOBS to have!! low wages SUCKY HOURS! you have to work HOLIDAYS! especiallylly BLACK FRIDAYS! (THANKSGIVING WEEKEND) RETAIL is the WORST DAVE! no wonder NOBODY GIVE A SHIT! it's a SHITTY PART TIME LOW PAYING SHITTY HOUR DEAD END GOING NO WHERE JOB! and you are right about MANAGEMENT! not caring about THE EMPLOYEES! all MANAGEMENT cares about is their MANAGEMENT STATUS!! ALL RETAIL JOBS SUCK!! so I agree with you DAVE!! GREAT VIDEO as usual!!😍😍👍👍👍
I've worked at Wal-Mart off and on since 2006.And you're right,They don't care as long as it's for their benefit.Some of the managers don't care for our opinions.Their egos gets the best of them.I've been in retail for over 30 years.I've worked for different stores such as Tom Thumb,Albertsons,etc.And Wal-Mart,In my opinion,Is the worst store to work for.It's almost like martial law working inside.Managers like kiss asses.The one's who work the hardest usually get harassed the most.The managers need to learn how to talk professionally to their employees.I've been a manager 3qurters of my work life,So I know what I'm talking about.Sam Walton would turn in his grave if he saw today how things are being done.
At my Walmart I can never get hired in. I must have put in 50 applications. I'm unemployed and I need a job. How hard is it to stock a shelf? I like working by myself.
odds are you either have too much experience working or they found some teenagers that are willing to work more hours for far less pay. They dont want smart capable people. They want eager disposable sheep. Also, if you ever get into the interview, LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH. never give an honest opinion. Always tell yourself "what would walmart WANT me to say?" They tell you to be honest then they WILL give you shit for it. ALL drugs are wrong at all times, even perscription drugs you literally need to survive. NOBODY works better on drugs ever for any reason. If there is an issue, you solve it by doing whatever your manager has told you to do in that situation. Obviously. Your own personal policies and understanding are worthless. Walmart policies and walmart image comes above all else. Its the only way to get in.
+Laura After learning how to pass job interviews from TH-cam videos, I got hired by Walmart on the first try (one application, one interview). Even if you're stocking shelves, you're not working by yourself. You're working with coworkers (associates) and answering questions from customers. If you come across as someone who doesn't like working with people, you will never be hired anywhere!
I had that experience....except somehow I couldn't manage to pass the interviews. At the time I came in with loads of retail experience, and a math degree!
The big thing NOW is to have "Open" availability meaning that you must be available to work just about any time. You can't tell them "I can't work more than 10 to 5 mon thru Fri and NO weekends. etc.
Yep, robbery suspect here and the first time I went in for a robbery I was shocked. I was wearing my ski mask and upon rounding up all the managers to get the money at gunpoint, they were calmly chatting amongst each other not even glancing back at me as they made the way to the safe and opened it for all the cash. They asked me when I was "clocking in" whatever that meant and I dipped out still wearing just my ski mask, gun and white underwear with an extra $25k that night. I was able to come in once a week after they had given me the code and resupply schedule so I wouldn't trouble myself with finding everyone. They also informed me of the unlocked back door and fake security camera dome which I was greeted coming through, unlike the front entrance. That shit truly is nuts, I'm not sure how they're still in business! I think they have another safe they didn't tell me about.
Seems like every job is getting to the point of having shitty management. Maybe Uber really is the future. We can just drive ourselves around and make money off of it.
Hello David thank you for sharing your video about how it is to work at Walmart. I personally have never worked at Walmart and nor do I want to work at Walmart and I hate shopping there every time I went there there was a problem are there was an issue and these were all little minor things but it's like I go to Target and I've never had a problem there with anything. But I would like to share an experience I worked at a factory and I too worked very quickly because I wanted them to see what a good job I was doing but it didn't work. Some of the other employees there said don't work so fast you're going to run yourself out of work. And I didn't get any more pay so I kind of slow down a little bit so that I wouldn't run myself out of work have a good day thank you for sharing your experiences
I have had a weird experience at one Walmart. The story goes.... I was hired through Monster.com for a company that wold required me to travel often to other cities on projects lasting from 50 to 70 days from home, so I decided to go to a Walmart and buy along with general stuff an electric shaving Machine. I went through the register and after paying went straight to my vehicle and decided to move the electric shaving to a different bag and to my surprised the electric shaver was gone. So, I went back inside straight to the Customer Service and was treated like shit. I asked to speak to the store manager and finally she showed up. Same, wouldn't help me. So, I had no choice than to go and buy another one. I did. As I was leaving the store loss prevention caught up with me at my car and asked me to go back with them and I did. First, they apologized to me and told me that the cashier charged me for the electric shaver but, instead of putting it in the bag, she threw it by her feet and hide it (It was caught on camera). I got my money back from the second shaver and was given the first one. The cashier was arrested.
I worked for Walmart for 10 years. The first 5 or 6 years were pretty good. After that, a bunch of new stupid rules started coming down from Bentonville and the place went to shit. You're right, nobody there including managers give a damn about anything. That includes both employees and customers.
if youve been at a job for over a year and the new guy makes the same amount as you it kills your motivation, dont blame the employees blame the employer.
I have worked for my state for almost 16 years. Someone tgat just got hired makes the exact same amount. We are the worst paid state for my job in the USA and people bitch because they think we make to much. Ironically those same people can look up what we make because most government employees have their wages listed on the internet.
Get a new job or deal with it!
You live your decisions in life.
True, but sometimes people are paid more due to professional experience plus education.
Don't blame the employer, blame the POS politicans in office for wanting a $15/hour. I've been at WM for 14 years. If they were FORCED into hiring someone at $15 an hour, they'd be making just a little less than I would be.
I worked in Walmart for 6 years. The favoritism is what made me leave. The less you worked, the better chance of promotion. Our store manager and a couple assistants were stealing hundreds of thousands, the cashiers were stealing, and over nights weren't paying their lunches. That was all okay, because they were favourites, but a hard worker just had to forget to count 5 cents in her cash and she was slammed with a coaching. It got to the point where the hard working ones did the job of ten people while the lazy just talked and did nothing. I barely shop there now. I could never support a place that treats their good employees so poorly.
I was in the cash office part time. I was fantastic at my job. I could finalize my day in less than two hours, when the full time position opened up, I was given a huge bullshit monologue about how someone else was better fit for the job.... and I had to train her for the job I wanted and had been doing for 6 years. The total lack of respect was baffling. I couldn't imagine spending another month in a place that could treat a person like garbage.
It's a shame when management mishandles the workforce in that way.
Exactly! One day I slacked off as a cashier cuz I was a hard worker and they called me to the cash office to talk to me🙄
@@heyjennyhey2231 a week ago I definitely decided to slack off as a cashier ......
Listening to this is why I don't Shop at Wal*Mart,or Sam's club,my feeling is if Wal*Mart or Sam's club has it I don't need it.
You lose your sanity as a walmart employee.
Some people seem to think so!
Yeah, when I worked at Walmart, at least towards the end of my employment there, I would walk around the store muttering to myself, "I hate this fucking job" over and over.
I can definitely vouch for this, I work customer service and hit my breaking point today when I was supposed to get off and no one was there to cover and my managers wouldn’t do anything to help me get off so I just had to leave , this has been happening like the past two weeks yet they won’t schedule the customer service employees more than 20 hours a week so we’ve been fucked the whole time , gonna probably quit soon cause I actually don’t think I can take it mentally anymore
You start to hate everyone lol
I fit in. I didnt have much of any sanity before i put in my application
Working at Walmart is kind of like doing time in prison. The people who have been there longer than 5 years stay there for life and they are well aware of the fact that they are working in their grave. I've never been at a place where I could feel the seconds ticking away from my life. I've never experienced anything like that anywhere before
💯 .....I soo agree
Corporate Hell, Full time Prison, Walmart Radio Insanity.
I am a college student and working with Walmart for a year now and trust me its hell , they torture their employees to death
1.Manager dont do their job and ask employees to do their job for them.
2. Supervisor are not present especially at cash register when you need them most.
3.I saw one of my friend get harrassed by a customer, instead of kicking customer out superviser sugar coated and give customer gift card and coached that employee and she was literally crying.
4.They keep messing up your schedule and wont fix it aka you will get tardies
5. I am student and I need less then 30 hours, Walmart think 39 hours are part time and 50 hours is full time. They keep increasing my work hours and work load.
6. They make you to do stuff which is not under your job description. One I was feeling sick I tried talking to my manager I caint push carts and pushing carts is not under my job description she said "WHY YOU NO CO OPERATING" she make me push carts for three hours and mule was broke and instead of helping me she was smoking outside.
7. I saw some people stealing in hardware section many I tried talking to assistant manager she said she is gonna take a look . But how she is gonna take look if the camera are not even working. I saw those people again stealing something and I didn't give a fudge.
8. The only holiday I got days off was on Christmas that's it. They even make us work on memorial day , thanks given and like he said it's true during black Friday they start black Friday on Thursday and torture their employees especially cashiers.
To all the people please do not work in Walmart especially if your a student. Trust me they Walmart will squeeze every bit of INSANITY from your soul
I worked for walmart and 2 weeks into training I quit, I was treated like complete shit by management, constantly belittled and put down
It's my 3rd week, and I've already started applying for other jobs.
Trust me walmart has not changed. Currently work there for the christmas season. Managers Suck ass. Wasn't even trained by the managers and had other employees teach me how to do the job. Management is basically the worst part about the job
That's a shame
@@CoffeeTalkLive I know right. Lost all respect for walmart since then
I can't stand shopping there. I couldn't imagine working there. It's such a depressing place to be
Indeed!
David Gudgeon yeah it's awful and they take care of their fish awfully so many of them die and the ones who do only suffer ;(
as a person who worked there...yeah it was bad. but the thing that strikes me as the worst...is the "indoctrination films and tests" that you have to do. that is just unconscionable! and im a smart enough person, that i saw it for what it was, but others? yeah, they really didn't understand, and "took up" the rhetoric, not knowing that they were perpetuating the mindset, and screwing themselves over, by doing it.
ReviewsTechNow amen to that
depressing to be there crippleing to work there
I work at Walmart and you literally just explained the job perfectly. Still the same exact way nothing has changed. Lazy co workers, shitty management, shitty job in general.
I've heard that from several people!
Walmart is a very terrible place to work at. I have not worked there myself, but I have heard many rumors and stories of that place being bad to work at.
its sad that it hasn't changed at all
😂😂 Lmao!
Better than working at McDonald's
I’m a Walmart employee and I can actually say it is really depressing and the managers just make it worst
Yes soo true ....
True indeed and I use to work at Walmart back in 2018.
Seems like every business get those expensive security cameras that can zoom in real close and they are never on same way with automatic lock gates they break and then they just keep them wide open
I worked there and HATED IT. They still do not care about what happens in their stores. They do not hire full time and make you bust your ass to earn that full time status for sub par benefits and sub par pay. Oh and if you have a family? Kiss them goodbye while working at walmart they do not like you having time away from their slave camps.
Lots of people say it's still pretty bad there.
Rob Gates the store sounds like it don't care about thier people at all.
It is the worst managed company. There is nothing that can be done to make the lifers or career pigs at Walmart ethical.
thats wierd all employees look unhappy everytime i shop there wow
Yes they do...
Try working there hot as shit in the stores, don't want to spend money on AC
Maybe that's what hell is like. Working at walmart on an eternal shift.
Scary thought..
Which came first? Hell or Wally world? I guess we won't know till we die. But I hear that every time you enter a wall Mart, part of your soul is transfered into that ginger Lindsey Lohan.
Speaking from experience his description is spot on.
Yes it is right on,,
It doesn't matter where you work. I've worked 25 yrs in the office and now in retail. Same lazy people occupy prison cubicle jobs.
There are lazy people pretty much everywhere.
David Gudgeon exactly
I worked at Walmart for five years and that's a rare thing at my store. I have autism so it was easy for them to target me. I got pulled into the office for stupid things that I had no part of. I had associates show up late mostly to talk to each other or smoke. I normally get cornered by three of them and I told them why you are harassing me they gave a snarky reply of 'we're allowed to stalk you it's our job' I quit not that long ago because the lies, the favoritism and of course the most of all the stalking. I got called on my day off to come in because they were heavy handed. That wasn't true, but then they refused to pay me because it was considered my day off. I'm glad I got out of there because the stress. They made me feel like I was at fault for their failures. The only reason they are managers at Walmart is because they lack intelligence and it's easy to bully someone. Anyways I feel like stressed and happier. I implore people still working there it's not worth it to work at a company that 'targets' specific people. You may be a favorite now, but what happens when they turn your direction?
Walmart has gotten in a lot of trouble over the years for not paying people correctly.
I worked for Wal-Mart and agree with you COMPLETELY!!!!!!
Lots of people have had a poor experience there.
I got mad because I look really young but I'm really not that young. I'm in my 30s. And they treated me like their little slave. Which really made me mad. I got tired of the disrespect. Tired of walking in and never knowing what we are gonna do either. Tired of it. Then other day she was like go to the cash register. I've told her a lot that I do not want to do that. I'm really stubborn and I quit. I'm just tired of the disrespect.
My son works for Wal-Mart. Picked his check up and was missing hours. He went to his supervisor and was told yeah, that happens. Then went to payroll and they said he didn't clock in/out. Which is impossible because as you know you have to clock out for lunch, clock back in and clock out when you leave. They say that there is no clock in or out for that day. I would say, maybe he forgot to clock in. But to miss all those clock in/outs is impossible. He is harassed daily, where they tease him, make fun of him and he's went to the supervisor and nothing is being done. They just continue to pick on, sometimes to the point where he is being bullied. I am in shock on how uncaring these people are towards their employees to where they work, don't get paid for it. Being bullied on a daily basis. It's ridiculous
That's unacceptable, and a bad reflection on management and human resources.
Sounds about right.
Absolutely true !!Don't ever work for this company! The company I used to work for does demos at Walmart. I work for another demo company now but a girl that I was training had a tablet stolen . She looked all of the store she was so upset. So she went to security and security showed that she left it at the self-checkout but she was just at the self-checkout asking the Walmart employee that worked at the self-checkout, you know the ones that help customers at the self-checkout, if he saw a tablet there and he told her no. But security oh, that you went to after twice speaking to this Walmart employee if he saw a tablet and he told her both times no, he saw her looking under the self-checkout machine she was at looking behind it to look for this tablet he saw her doing this, so when she couldn't find it she wants to security and security showed that Walmart worker who works at the self-checkout taking her tablet and putting it under his podium. But then she asks him twice as he saw it and he told her now she planned on keeping it that's what it was. And they didn't fire him
When into Walmart and asked associate for ant spray.
Associate took me over and pointed to Febreeze.
I now use Amazon for most purchased items.
J Smith
I lost brain cells just reading this. How can someone that dumb even fill out an application?
😂💀
The ant spray is next to it you dumb ass lol the problem is people want everything on their hands...lazy as fuck
I live in a very safe town, cops are vigilant but you don't go to Walmart after dark or after 9pm. A couple years ago I needed something and Walmart was the only place in town that would have what I needed. I went to electronics to get what I needed and was on my way up to the front to pay for it. This dude starts yelling and running after me. He demanded I give him what I had because it was the last one. He literally tried to grab it out of my hand and he started to make a fist with his other hand and I pulled my firearm. When he realized what I had he tried to yank the item one more time then he jumped back. I hadn't pulled my firearm out completely so I reholstered it. He kept cussing me and told me he was going to end me. He reached from his back and started to pull something out. I pulled my firearm completely out and was lifting my hand. He stopped then turned to run. I just put my firearm back. A lady that saw all this chewed me out for conceal carrying a firearm. I explained I carry legally and it was none of her business. A guy saw it and told the lady to shut up and go on about her business. The guy thanked me for thinking fast on my feet. The lady ended up complaining about me, not the dude who tried to rob me. The assistant manager threatened to call the cops on me. There were no signs posted about being a gun free zone. When I pointed that out the assistant manager just turned and walked away.
No fire? Where the heck was that? Certainly not where I worked as a cashier for a few months. Of course, cashier were considered more valuable and we couldn't tell anyone how much we made (more than just about everyone else). We were expected to stay in our area, which meant were were not running around helping stock anything or customers. I only quit because a very "well known", crazy, tall, very fat woman was screaming obscenities at me because she had no food stamps left and the head cashier was hiding and not responding to my numerous pages. I quit on the spot.
I was a cashier and we made min wadge we didn't make more than anyone else infact other departments make more and I just switched dept 4 days ago so IDK if that's just where u are but it's not where I am
do another one about the WAL MART Managers. I REALLY HATED Them.
I'll take that under consideration!

@@bostongbr What happened? Can you explain this simpler terms?
The reason to keep the employees separated is out of the fear of the employees unionizing.
If I had any regrets in life. It was accepting to work at Walmart
Ouch!
@@CoffeeTalkLive I have felt that way a little a few times, but I'm finding more things that are good: a new love, a new laptop, new friends, etc. iM' fixing up my department. I can't do everything, but I am listening to management a little bit more than others in my department do. I have to do a lot of cleaning and also, I give management adice for saving money on ordering. so, even those I'm disabled, I think Wal-Mart might use me in a way few get used. I'm an overworked cashier, but if I eat right and have my boyfriend around, I'll be okay.
The Wal-Mart junk is making me understand life so for me, this is awesome. I'll get stronger. Wal-Mart is like a drug: it works differntly for everyone.
I have found that the experience of working at Wal-Mart can very wildly from store to store based on individual managers and the customer base.
That could be. Hopefully others have had a better experience.
Coffee Talk I’ve worked at 3 different stores. The first one I hated the store manager but the rest of the managers were great then I moved and started at the Walmart there and absolutely loved everything about it but moved back to my hometown and started at a 3rd Walmart and didn’t mind that at all just far from home. The closer Walmart which was the original one I started at I actually loved being there but then I met someone closer to the 3rd store so I transferred back and absolutely loved it until now. The new managers are horrible!!!! I never thought I’d leave Walmart until these managers came. I finally had enough. Nothing we do is good enough and their expectations are absolutely ridiculous!
I worked at a neighborhood market Walmart for a little over 2 years. Overnight stocking and it was the worst experience. All the people I worked with started off completely clean, ended up on hardcore drugs... that place turned me into an extreme alcoholic. I’m now working a different Walmart, 2nd shift and it’s way better. I have good managers so I’m lucky. Although, most other employees are lazy so I am the one to warn customers what to stay away from and why....
Who knew Negan worked for Walmart? awesome!
There were times I could have used a barbed wire bat...
lmfao you just made my day!.... I would have encouraged you to use on even the costumers!
customers*
Bahaha! I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it
I hated working in retail
Being on my feet for 7 to 8 hours
With only a 30 minute lunch break
My feet/legs was killing me when I got home. - Just to get $15/an hour
I work there now as a cap 2 associate and it's the absolute worst experience ever. Coworkers are super disrespectful toward me, managers tend to pick on me a lot, and I hate the attendance policy. I just wish this company closed its doors for good. It's trash
You’re story is the complete opposite of my Walmart experience, I used to work overnights and they expected us to be fast asf , we were completely understaffed and I had to complete the entire home department by MYSELF while every other section had more than 2 employees and if I didn’t finish they gave me shit. They were also very strict on attendance.
That's currently how Walmart is. Very strict on attendance and productivity. In the early 2000s when I first started working for them you could call out as many times as you want. There was one year I called that like 30 or 40 times and never even got written up for it.
I was an ASM and worked at that toxic shit hole for 14 years. A wasted 14 years. Unrealistic expectations and incompetent, ignorant management from the top down- All Their new programs were inconsistent and ridiculous. The employees are always complaining and very negative. I shop their because their prices are hard to beat. Every time I go back in there they always tell me how horrible it has gotten and how worse the attitude is and then they ask when I’m coming back!! Lmao 😂. Yeah, the answer is always NEVER!!!!! Once you get out of that rut, stay out of that dead 💀 soulless/toxic environment...
Even as a shopper at Walmart you can see how much that the employees do not care
No, they don't seem to.
Not trying to be rude but maybe the employees are on to something when they don't do work..Maybe they know that working for walmart is bs anyway
I work for Walmart for 3 years hate this job boss do not care
have to take care of 6 depts by self
That sounds familiar.
Sounds better than working for home depot
If u overnight or cap 2 yes u take a lit of dept
Same I just quit last week
just gonna tell my experience working at a neighborhood walmart so far... so im a overnight stocker just like what this guy was. ive been there for less than 2 weeks & 1st thing is the nonexistent training. they just told me basic stuff like how to read the upc number on the tag & match it with what im stocking (as if i couldnt put 2&2 together🙄). that was basically it. nobody told me how to properly get a tailzone, how to do the important stuff with it or anything like that. its basically like they just sat me on a computer for 3 days then decide to just throw me out there in the warzone. they assigned me canned goods & cereal aisles. from my perspective so far, the assistant manger doesnt give a damn that youre new, they demand that you put out 50 cases an hour even if you dont know where a particular item goes they dont give af you had better put out that freight! (thats the attitude im sensing from this manager) its not about anybody caring its more about the assistant managers not caring about their employees. like i said, i just started so of course im not gonna be on point as the others at this time but its like they ignore that or have no understanding idk. youre essentially training yourself about any & everything. if anybodys lazy, its these managers that just stands at the front for 9 hours staring at you or in the back doing something. its a shitty experience for me so far but i think its also because we're understaffed so the pressures on us to put out like 1000+ piece truck with only like 4-5 employees (some nights even less). btw im not the fastest stocker there is but i am keeping up with some of these coworkers whose been here for years so im not really worried about anything. i can only get better from here & they wont fire me because they really need help stocking. but anyways, i feel like im leaving out alot stuff but thats all i can think of right now.
I guess things haven't changed much since I worked there...
I used to work for Walmart and left due to a move. Just before I left they put the Pathways into use. What it is way to got from sales associate, stock, casher to be able to be promoted to a department head or Assistant Manager.
lol bro i had about the same experience. walmart is a shit place to work!
I worked at Walmart from 2014 to 2016 and everything you talked about in your video they still do as far as taking extended breaks and management splitting up associates. And everyone from management to associates don't care about their jobs being done or not.
DJ ActavisBestFrien pretty much my experience so far but the only difference is that they threw me into the produce and deli within a week so they trained me for shit they didn't even need me in
I worked for Walmart for about 6 months and hated every second of it. I worked 2nd shift stockroom; we were the ones that unload the trucks and put them on palettes for 3rd shift. First of all, other places I worked the trucks are loaded with care. The items in the truck are stacked on palettes and wrapped with thick cellophane. The contents of the trucks that deliver new stock to Walmart are just thrown in and piled on top of each other, and because of this it would take over an hour to unload a truck This is why I never buy electronics from Walmart, because they usually are shipped with a few hundred pounds of loose, shifting, merchandise piled on them. They made us watch a video in orientation about how you are NOT allowed to work if you're not on the clock, but at least twice a week I would be asked to help out with something, or perform some task, as I was heading out the store to go home. About a week before I quit I was asked to climb into the store dumpster and remove any trash that people had driven up and tossed in. I looked at the manager like he was crazy and told him to get the custodial staff to do that -- they got paid more than me and that was a lot closer to their job description than mine.
When I worked at Rite Aid they had a suicide prevention hot line. It had to be the worst job I ever had!
It's a bad sign when a company has to provide its own suicide prevention hotline...
CVS is just as bad if not worse than Wal-Mart. I worked for CVS and I am currently with Wal-Mart mgt.
Coffee Talk - funny you say that in your video. I was going to...and I use to work for them. Contemplating on my life. I use to work as a cart pusher as the new guy trying to not screw up but it didn’t matter how far I went with my job...constantly moving and getting carts. Shit! I worked in thunder and lightning. So nobody can complain that there’s no carts in the tunnel. My depression got worse through out. But funny you’ve mentioned it.
i’ve worked at walmart for a little over 3 months and people are quitting. i wish i could get away with an hour break. i got reprimanded because i accidentally took a 20 minute break once. I’m a cashier and so it gets really busy and some customers are just so rude. i share the tiny square locker with i think one other person. also i hate having a camera right above me my whole shift, it’s so creepy and i’m literally being watched. The only people at walmart who seem to even slightly enjoy their job are the people who get paid the most. everytime i go into the back to clock in, i just feel the negativity literally radiating off the people who work back there. The only thing that puts me in a better mood are the other friendly cashiers upfront and the occasional really nice customer that comes through my line.
Customers can be very rude and irritable, something that many people don't think about.
I think everything falls back on management I don't care where you work at it management is not good job is not good
The management there left a lot to be desired.
I use to work there I hated it completely worked there 7 years been gone 12 years now.will never go back. The store manager himself was not friendly.I was there like 7 years & there was complete years he said nothing at all to me.I think quitting there was best thing I ever done. I am much happier & less stressful too.
I work at a Walmart in Ohio and while I agree with a lot of what you say Walmart has some new tricks too. I work second shift stockman and a lot of us really don’t care because people in the shift before us and the one after us are always screwing everything up and we have to fix it. The firing policy now they will fire you for almost any reason unless they like you or you’re special needs. One guy uses his mom’s cancer as an excuse to get paid to stay home and play Xbox. The people I worked with would regularly get three to five pallets done a night plus unload all of the two to seven trucks we get all in eight hours as well as fix everything from the other shifts. They don’t like you talking to each other because they don’t want union talk coming up. If they even suspect you’re thinking the word union they will fire you. They even have anti-union propaganda videos as part of your orientation. It is a hard job and the customers alone are dreadful enough to deal with because they think they are so far above you, but also they play the same forty songs over and over again all day every day like they do to prisoners in Guantanamo. They rarely ever recognize hard work and when they do it’s usually with old bakery food and stale chips. Our equipment is shit and we only get new stuff when another department or another shift asks for it basically meaning that they think more highly of the slackers than us. I have yet to meet a single Walmart employee who likes their job. It’s a horrible place and they always talk down to you. You only get a 10% discount which other than gasoline, alcohol, and tobacco with you buying your lunches and stuff there go figure food being the one thing you buy most doesn’t get discounted.
Sounds like thinks aren't that much better. And I forgot about the Walmart music! Constant rotation of the same crap, when I worked at Bradlees they did the same thing.
Long story short; if you had to pick between two retailers to work for, choose Target.
Target customers in general are just more human and inviting. Target employees are more down-to-earth and willing to get stuff done. IN MY EXPERIENCE... of course. I worked with a great team in the Frozen Dairy department and everyone got along. Team leaders were super relaxed but knew when to put their foot down to get stuff done. I really liked the 401k plan, company match up to 5%.
Only reason why I left Target was that I was moving into a new area 40 minutes away and I wasn't going to commute for $12.50/hr. My car did end up breaking down during the move where it wouldn't start and I ended up no calling no showing and promptly got laid off.. I was pretty upset at first but then I got a job at Costco. I already really like the company 20x better and since the warehouse is still being built I haven't met any of my leaders or co-workers.. but I bet they'll be fine. Even keeps my commute to less than 12 minutes.
This answers my question "why do Walmart workers look like they want to die."
when you work for Walmart you sign your life away no joke people I have seen it first hand were I live lol
it is true many workers do not give a shit about the job and often they do not care about the shopers. if you want to live stay away from my walmarts meat department and watch the can goods to because they often do not bother checking dates and or if can goods are not damaged so warning to the wise check your goods before leveing the store and as for the no fire policey it dose not exsist any more or my ex would still have a job they now have a point sytem get so many points your fired.and as for breaks well do not count on much of one. and yea over night workers are lazy and yea equipment sucks but I do not blame them for not using electriccart pushing devices anymore as the cart pushers often abused them and broke them so yea understand takeing them out.walmart needs to realy rethink the sucky running of things and my aunt worked at the main building in Arkansas and told me the scary stories. and yea stealing is common and damageing items is common place.
Same here. Two years on night's.
A bit dramatic. It's just a job. Don't complain and just be happy to have a job. I worked construction for 3.5 years before doing night stocking at Wal-Mart and yeah I made a bit less money but they gave me breaks (something you get once in a blue moon doing construction) they gave me medical, dental, and vision (something many off my other jobs didn't supply including construction) tons of funding for college, Store discounts, Flexible hours, a solid pto rate, tons of opportunities to move up to higher paying positions, 401k, and a great training program.
Thanks for this. I had an interview at Walmart for electronics department and or apparel. It's safe to say I won't be pressuring this as an option anymore. From what I've heard from numerous people it sucks ass working there and the only reason they stay is because they either have kids or are in college and need the money or they can't find anything else. I have an interview at target as well and I feel like that will be much better. I heard that at target it really depends on the store for weather it's going to suck or not and the target I applied for is in a rich neighborhood so even if management sucks at least I can gawk at all the milfs and rich college girls that come in instead of the ratchet trash that goes to Walmart
I worked at both. a Super Target ( T-1776) and a Wal-Mart (1308) that was remodeled into a supercenter. It was Target I had problems with. I worked there for almost 3 years. and during that time, had received $0.94 raise in pay. $8.44 an hour. left Target for Wal-Mart. Starting pay was $10.00 an hour. after 6 1/2 years there, some physical ailments had caught up with me and had to leave. by then I was making 13.50 an hour. I had no complaints with Wal-Mart. management was awesome. and more than willing to help me through my ailments. I wish you luck if you chose Target.
Im 18 and i have been working for walmart for 4 months now and i entered expecting it to be like one of these horror stories. I was very wrong. Everyone i know works hard and the management is very professional. It most definitely depends what store. Walmart is increasing starting pay to $10 from $9 in a month or two.
wakichunu I'm attempting to get a job there now and it's 11 for us. Then again this is Washington State so idk if that's every where.
Walmart and Target are just about the same as far as management attitude goes. At Target you will get bounced around every department in the store in one night due to call ins. As far as management goes they think they are something special all because the work at the at Target. And HR there will find every way in the book to get rid of you. even to the point of redoing your schedule to make sure you come in at the wrong time to make it look like a no call no show even after you copied the schedule and checked it twice so they have a reason to terminate you. They are looking for a certain person to fit their narrow window of what they are looking for. Even if you get hired they really don't what you there.
I went in for an interview dressed in a female pant suit, applying to the jewelry department. The manager said, “Wow, you are way over dressed, I am sorry I don’t have any management positions open. I will give you the top of the pay scale, you’re hired.
Over dressed? Is there such a thing? Apparently, most of his interviewees came in pajamas and ripped shorts.
In Walmart apparently there is!
im working at walmart as a stocking ta. getting paid 11hr 3am to midnight. i feel like i work harder than i get paid. we always have meetings and say how we need to speed up and get things done as fast as we can. or managers will tell us what time we need to be done with freight. i realized that i’ve been working full time when i started off part time. i don’t remember putting full time on my application. but they got me working 5 days this coming week with only 1 rest day. that’s 40hrs 😒
Does it add up to 40 after you clock out for breaks? That's often how many companies get over on full time status...
@@CoffeeTalkLive i’m not sure i never got to work those 40 hours because i asked her was i full or part time and she said i’m part time. so i asked about the 40 hours and could she change it. she told me they scheduled me to work 40 hours cause we are short on stockers and i felt that was very unfair that they did that. so i told her those 40 hours is too much for me especially if all i’m getting is one day off.
I used to be so optimistic about it for the first month or so, but it slowly plummeted after that.
Things have changed drastically from what you depicted. As for the "no fire policy," that's no longer the case. Everything is through algorithms now. There's a point system now. Every late login accounts against you.
I'm glad there are changes, but from what I see in the comments section there is still a drastic difference between various stores.
sounds like alot of lazy people don't like to work. I worked for Walmart for 25 years and what I didn't like was working with lazy people. If you accept a job do it to the best of your ability everyday.
walmart there is no to the best of your ability its only you do what managers say or lose your job they can fire you for breathing apparently
Amen
25 years. Great job... how did you like fixing all the fuckups the newbies did while stocking.
@@dragonblade3808 Its any job really. Its "at-will" its not just Walmart, it was the same when I worked for Home Depot.
@@Th33Vultur3 where im at we dont have that clause. but here the managers are scumbags. ive been away from there for awhile now though so hey. but i cant tell ya if you shop at walmart make sure you check dates and even food some of that shits cross contaminated and even spoiled. found one batch of stuff that had worms going through it in my store and was told to put it out anyhow. so yea im glad im away from walmart.
Dude looks like Neagan from The Walking Dead
I get that a lot.
Ironically enough, a buddy of mine worked there as a stocker and he was fired for not working fast enough. WTF!?
Please don't shop at Walmart.
I too worked at Walmart, it sucked. One thing that drove me up the wall was, when I first started the job they'd be ok with keeping track of breaks. As I went on there'd be times I'd take breaks late. I figured they were busy and just a little slow on getting people so I'd just patiently wait. That is until the second time I was three hours late for lunch and got chewed out for not telling anyone. I was told if my relief was even 15 minutes late to tell someone. The next time it happened it was probably about 20 minutes late when I called someone and they snapped at me to be patient because they're working on getting someone. After awhile I got fed up so I'd keep track of time myself and I'd say "Oh its time for lunch,break,leaving,or whatever. "And just close up the till then, which they didn't like. But if I didn't I'd be late and stuck in here so knows how long.
That's bad management...
the no fire policyis definatly in effect now at walmarts now you can pretty much be fired for breaking wind cross ways or any other petty thing. more and more people are having mental break downs from working there mine happened this past Christmas where I spend my holidays in a mental hospital from what that compny did to me.
Wow, that's terrible, I hope you're doing better...
AlwaysBaroque Without giving too many details, I recently "retired" after a few years at WalMart. It hasn't gotten better David, it has gotten WORSE. I worked with a lot of people who did care-however the head office in Arkansas started issuing edicts from on high. The upshot was that employees were treated like s**t. As an employee, they forced you to not care just to survive. When theft is so high by customers and employees are told to do nothing, yet employees were treated with distrust. I hope that you are never desperate enough to work there againn'
Hopefully I won't have to work there again...
They have a new fire policy now. For new hires, if you are absent more than 4 times in 6 months, you're out. For those who have been there more than 6 months, you're allowed 9 absences in 6 months. More than 9 and you're out, even if you've been there 20 years. I've seen it happen. They do stand by that new policy. I've worked there now for four years-- and what a ride it has been. I was just promoted to CSM (a position I voluntarily applied for)- probably one of the worst jobs the company. No on-the-job training except for the tutorial videos on the GMLS (Global Learning Mgmt System).
It's not easy working for Walmart- by any means. It's not for everyone. The best advice I can offer someone just starting out there is to just show up for work and do what you're asked to do. I've made plenty of mistakes over the four years-- fireable mistakes-- but they don't fire me. Probably because I can collect unemployment on those mistakes. If you show up for work as scheduled, it's almost impossible to get fired- they will forgive your mistakes-- it is human err. Just don't curse at a customer, or ram a cart into a customer's car (I've witnessed the latter ) and you'll get what you came there for without a hitch: money.
Contrary to what Walmart might think, at my company we frequently work together. I have a person in particular that I work with a lot actually, we get things done faster together and we actually motivate eachother to do a good job and we part of that is due to enjoying time at work.
That's the problem with hourly pay vs salary. There's no incentive to get your job done. Thus, your job becomes overly scrutinized by management and usually there's a lot of whip cracking, demanding you do 4 hours of work in 3.
Salary jobs are very hard to come by in this day and age. Most employers just want cheap temp labor that they don't have to commit to.
The people who care and do a good job are the ones management picks on the most. I worked for Walmart for 7 years and was constantly being piled up with projects I couldn't get done in a shift. When I was leaving and got to a stopping point I was called lazy by an assistant manager who hid most of his shift.
Wrong about firing,,,I got fired because I reported management to corporate,,,corporate sent my name and email to management!! I was told I had no respect for my job?? I stocked chemicals n half of the paper goods which was another employees section!! They got the higher pay while I received the lowest!! ,,,,I've witnessed most employees were having relations with many others although they was married so yes wal mart is hell
I've worked for walmart for about 5 years and it was a shithole!!! I've worked all shifts, and I was employee of the month 2 months in a row. and that's because I was dedicated and learned how to work in almost every department. but idc who you are, there's no way you went through 5 pallets (skids) in 8 hours. I mean 1 and a half or 2 pallets sounds about right. but 5? cmon now.
Just got off of cap2 shift and dont know why the im watching these but walmart is shit
Anthony Ritenour maybe they are half pallets? like 4 feet tall stacks instead of the 8feet stacks
I've never seen an 8 foot grocery pallet before. 4 foot is the original pallet size. What are you smoking lol
Anthony Ritenour I work at Walmart neighborhood market almost all pallets are 8 feet high for grocery.. I can throw 5 of the 4 feet tall ones in my shift easy! I work 3 aisles a night..pet food,toilet paper,and laundry soap/chemicals
an entire team on delivery day (mondays and thursdays) at where I currently work we get through nearly 9 to 14 (at most!) in almost 4 hours
but this team is around 10 people and the pallets range from about 6~8 feet, though again: it's an entire team (mileage varies) sometimes we are done by noon, sometimes we are done 90 minutes before, sometimes we take until 4PM (which was a horrible day because it was the same day we were down to like 4 people!)
Working for walmart put me in therapy. Serously.
I met a guy who was hired at Target tell me he'd been fired from Walmart for calling in sick 3 days in a row with the flu. He did say they sucked, but maybe there are two sides to that story. Incidentally, I was hired exactly a day after this video was uploaded on 9 May at a Neighbourhood Market store but didn't take it because I decided to move. I wonder if the smaller market grocery stores are different than the bigger ones.
the lunch breaks are now an hour long, it's very nice to be able to take your time.
we have quite a few pallet jacks everyone hates to use, especially if you're moving a heavy pallet, and they don't seem to care to fix or replace them. stocking carts with missing handles.
I can attest to not being careful with fragile merchandise. while we unload trucks, it gets thrown around carelessly. their lack of caring has been explained as follows: (direct quote) "they got insurance on it." 🙄
the dress code allows for more self expression now, but there are still guidelines to follow. no shirts with logos etc., but that rule still gets broken on a daily basis.
the McDonald's in our store closed and is now used for extra storage. I ate there once on a break, and saw them make my food, put it on a tray, and walk past it making milk shakes and what not until I finally asked them: "should i walk behind the counter and get it myself ?" it sucked anyway once I finally got it. I see why they closed, due to very bad service.
but great video, and very relatable.
I was a cashier at Walmart for 7 Years and every assistant manager and one co manager and the store manager paid with foodstamps once or twice a month. They would bring in all of their family members in with them. That was very hard to absorb. I always thought that they earned enough not to be on foodstamps. I'm talking about 400.00 to 700.00 a transaction, I had to make the big transactions into two because of over rides. These families always had 5 kids though. I know their store discount was more than 10 Percent like most associate's. Walmart really needs to take a look at becoming unionized.
Tell that to the guy who commented just ahead of you on this video, he thinks working for Walmart is the S***!!!
So honestly what if you're looking for a way to get back into the workplace after being out of work for a couple years? You complained about people not caring but is it people not caring mixed with management that are assholes? I've found people not caring only really affects me at work if I have to pick up the slack for others or if management is equally crappy to everyone if work doesn't get done, can you comment on how the experience was with management?
I gave 7 years of my life to Walmart and they gave me the boot. They made up a reason to fire me and three other employees two weeks before Christmas because they were eliminating as many full-timers as they could to reduce company personnel overhead, mostly so they could avoid paying full-time benefits. On top of that they refused me unemployment benefits and the Texas Workforce Commission wouldn't even grant me a hearing, which shows who has the power in that area. Walmart operated with a skeleton crew and often during the evenings I was the only employee on my entire half of the store. Also, managers, at least in my store, #602 in the Woodlands Texas, routinely spied on employees and had no problem with talking down to or yelling at you for any reason. And the manager who fired me, Debby Dupre Jones, was nuts. I have nothing but sheer contempt for that wretched company and I hope their inevitable bankruptcy happens ASAP.
I have to admit, it was a miserable environment. And now if I have to go in a WalMart I know why everyone looks worn out and miserable...
I am a department manager at my local Walmart. I try to keep my associates from working in the same aisles simply because they don’t get any work done when they are together. I have to run a tight ship. My people try to disappear to the break room and hang out for an hour even when it isn’t their break time. Everyone thinks they should be able to get away with calling off all the time for some reason. It is so hard to find quality people these days!!!
I have had my own locker for 12 years!! We don’t share lockers in my store.
I work for Walmart.com customer service line, an outsourcing company provides the service to Walmart, but let me tell you, what sucks is Walmart.
I'm AM part time, well paid for only 6 hours a day. However, Walmart has a lot to improve, not only at the stores but with the online orders as well.
Also, please guys if you shop on Walmart.com, be patient and try to be good with the customer service line. We receive a lot of shit daily when it's not even our fault. We have to follow processes, we can't skip the policies just because.
I know it's frustrating because Walmart ruins almost everything, but the customer service line literally struggle all day.
Thanks for your input.
Yep I had a death very close to my family and I needed to take off a day during the week to attend a viewing. My HR Manager said that only way I can take that one day off is if I either use one of my call outs or be taken off the schedule the whole week.
So I told her to just take me off the whole week. All throughout that day I kept going back to my Walmart schedule app and checking if she took me off the schedule for that whole week. My shift goes by and I check the app I’m still on schedule.
The next day, I wake up I check the app to see if she took me off yet, I’m still on there.. so I had to make a call out bc my HR manager told me I had to take the whole week off, I called the Walmart at that morning to try to get an answer from the HR. She wasn’t in. So today I call to see if she is in which she is. And I explain to her that she forgot/ did not remove me from the schedule that week. And then she tells she could have just taken me off for the day of the viewing...so basically I got fucked over for doing what I was told to do, and it’s all bc she FORGOT to remove me. And ofc her story changes and I have no way to defend myself Bc I’m just an employee.
I also just wanted to add, my HR manager showed no sympathy and also reminded me that it’s not an immediate family member who has past. Just goes to show how much people care.
You shouldn't have to go through all that for something so simple....
The suicide prevention segment of the video, hilarious.😂🤣
It's true! I wonder if they still have those posters up in the breakroom!
I work for one of Walmart's DC's ... the no talking policy is dead on.. as far as a reluctance to fire.. lol you have not worked for the Distribution center yet.. ;)
Yea! They are invisible too, ! Can never find help , 22 checkout aisle and lucky if you get 4 are open !
They are everywhere like a swarm of bees when you don't need them...
You are talking about Wal-Mart, I have been working at 711 store & it's the same picture. Here it's even worse the owner, manager my coworkers, all are thieves. They don't like honest hard working employees at all
That doesn't surprise me. Saw a lot of the same thing at Family Dollar.
Coffee Talk ,not only that owner's family members are also employees but never work but making money. We need more employees & he doesn't care about it. Good employees don't last here for long ,sometimes employees get caught by stealing but never get fired or punishment. It's like you are thieves and I am a thief & look each other's back live happily. The problem is that they like to pick on honest one
Where do you all live? In a town full of juveniles? I guess I'm lucky I work at a perfect Walmart
As someone who works there currently nothing has changed in fact it has gotten worse
My son worked at walmart...he has too good of work morals for there. . But he could do pallets like nobody's biz. Caught a kid from the street stealing off the truck...Walmart says let them do it, you can't interfere...BUT...we dock all you guys wages for the theft. My son says oh no you don't, I'm protecting my wages. They let him. But he didn't stay long now has a nice job that he really likes. Walmart is seriously messed up.
This explains why the shopping experience sucks so bad.. And by reading the other comments i can see why.
Lot of unhappy employees have commented on this video...
I work at Walmart rn over night I’m quitting tomorrow morning
It is still bad... 7.5 years in and it sucks. Favoritism abounds. The good workers are pushed to their limits and taken advantage of.
I am a department manager at a Walmart for the Frozen food section . I honestly shouldnt have taken the position because now I deal with an even more disfunctional problem of the store when i already was dealing with lack of associates and lack of them being productive . There is a new system or "process" of how you go about your day called "One best way " I thought it was awesome because now i can do thr process and my assistant and co managers will do their part of it as well , but no . The district office tells me what items they want on display in my section , but my assistants and co's wanted to do their own thing which resulted in build up in my storage because i wouldnt have room for the items that district sent me to put up . I notified them and they thanked me for telling them wjat was going on and nothing changed . Eventually i started putting what my managers wanted on display , but when id do what one of them said , another would tell me i shouodnt do that and tell me to put something else on display instead . It is just a disfunctional system when there is this foundation of how you go about your day and how things should be done , but when your superiors dont even do it and do what they want , it just results in you having a really stressful job and it honestly will make you look bad because you will always be doing something wrong .
FAVORITISM !
We had department managers that didn't even know where things where in the store! Worked there 10 1/2 years as a greeter and to get help from someone in that store was just crazy, they didn't care about the customer, I was always apologizing for the behavior! Stockers omg you have to bring old stuff from back to front, stockers don't do that! Being a greeter and now a customer you find really old products, I freaked out when I found spoiled and rotted products! We had not only employee theft but we had at least 3 store managers steal thousdands! As a greeter we were instructed to check employee's bags some would do it other were just rude! Now that they did away with the older handicapped greeters in the high loss stores they have these young kids that are worthless, the aren't even doing anything different than we the older handicapped greeters did!
I was wondering why they did away with the elderly/handicapped greeters...
I currently work for a walmart store and I use to be a stocker and let me tell you that I always got pulled into the office for nor being productive enough. I always had to tell them it's because I'm always fixing 3rd shifts mess since stuff never got rotated and all that. I work self-checkout now and management at my store still pulls you into the office for BS.
I had to quit just recently because they wouldn't accommodate my injured feet. Asset protection would get so onery about it because I was in such dire pain that I had to sit down before it got worse. And on some days it was painful enough that I had to call out of work a day a week in order to recover them, and the points were just racking up too quickly. Absolutely agree, it was probably the worst place I ever worked at.
MAYBE ALSO IT DEPENDS ON EACH DIFFERENT WALMART STORES
Could be...
I just came across this now haha anyway. I worked at walmart 3 different times in 2 different states when I was a young adult. You are 100% spot on. They didnt even care if you stole food to eat on your lunch break or get something from the hot case and take it to the break room. I worked in the garden center and it sucked they had no AC in 100 degree AZ weather.
It's my understanding that things haven't changed much, except that some of them are stricter about firing now.
I have been working at walmart for 3 months and i hate it
The employes hate their jobs ,the managers dont give a fuck about the employes, they gave me 40hours a week when i ask for 20-25 when i got hired. I am thinking about quitting soon because they dont really respect me
And Also everything you explain is still the same now
I have worked retail and ALL RETAIL WORK SUCKS! Dave! I think it's one of the WORST JOBS to have!! low wages SUCKY HOURS! you have to work HOLIDAYS! especiallylly BLACK FRIDAYS! (THANKSGIVING WEEKEND) RETAIL is the WORST DAVE! no wonder NOBODY GIVE A SHIT! it's a SHITTY PART TIME LOW PAYING SHITTY HOUR DEAD END GOING NO WHERE JOB! and you are right about MANAGEMENT! not caring about THE EMPLOYEES! all MANAGEMENT cares about is their MANAGEMENT STATUS!! ALL RETAIL JOBS SUCK!! so I agree with you DAVE!! GREAT VIDEO as usual!!😍😍👍👍👍
I've worked at Wal-Mart off and on since 2006.And you're right,They don't care as long as it's for their benefit.Some of the managers don't care for our opinions.Their egos gets the best of them.I've been in retail for over 30 years.I've worked for different stores such as Tom Thumb,Albertsons,etc.And Wal-Mart,In my opinion,Is the worst store to work for.It's almost like martial law working inside.Managers like kiss asses.The one's who work the hardest usually get harassed the most.The managers need to learn how to talk professionally to their employees.I've been a manager 3qurters of my work life,So I know what I'm talking about.Sam Walton would turn in his grave if he saw today how things are being done.
This is all true, I worked at the walmart in meridian idaho it was exactly how this man described.
Lot of people have had a bad experience working for Walmart it seems.
At my Walmart I can never get hired in. I must have put in 50 applications. I'm unemployed and I need a job. How hard is it to stock a shelf? I like working by myself.
It's not a physically demanding job, it's the other things that get to you after a while.
odds are you either have too much experience working or they found some teenagers that are willing to work more hours for far less pay. They dont want smart capable people. They want eager disposable sheep.
Also, if you ever get into the interview, LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH. never give an honest opinion. Always tell yourself "what would walmart WANT me to say?" They tell you to be honest then they WILL give you shit for it. ALL drugs are wrong at all times, even perscription drugs you literally need to survive. NOBODY works better on drugs ever for any reason. If there is an issue, you solve it by doing whatever your manager has told you to do in that situation. Obviously. Your own personal policies and understanding are worthless. Walmart policies and walmart image comes above all else. Its the only way to get in.

After learning how to pass job interviews from TH-cam videos, I got hired by Walmart on the first try (one application, one interview). Even if you're stocking shelves, you're not working by yourself. You're working with coworkers (associates) and answering questions from customers. If you come across as someone who doesn't like working with people, you will never be hired anywhere!
I had that experience....except somehow I couldn't manage to pass the interviews. At the time I came in with loads of retail experience, and a math degree!
The big thing NOW is to have "Open" availability meaning that you must be available to work just about any time. You can't tell them "I can't work more than 10 to 5 mon thru Fri and NO weekends. etc.
Yep, robbery suspect here and the first time I went in for a robbery I was shocked. I was wearing my ski mask and upon rounding up all the managers to get the money at gunpoint, they were calmly chatting amongst each other not even glancing back at me as they made the way to the safe and opened it for all the cash. They asked me when I was "clocking in" whatever that meant and I dipped out still wearing just my ski mask, gun and white underwear with an extra $25k that night.
I was able to come in once a week after they had given me the code and resupply schedule so I wouldn't trouble myself with finding everyone. They also informed me of the unlocked back door and fake security camera dome which I was greeted coming through, unlike the front entrance.
That shit truly is nuts, I'm not sure how they're still in business! I think they have another safe they didn't tell me about.
Seems like every job is getting to the point of having shitty management. Maybe Uber really is the future. We can just drive ourselves around and make money off of it.
Hello David thank you for sharing your video about how it is to work at Walmart. I personally have never worked at Walmart and nor do I want to work at Walmart and I hate shopping there every time I went there there was a problem are there was an issue and these were all little minor things but it's like I go to Target and I've never had a problem there with anything. But I would like to share an experience I worked at a factory and I too worked very quickly because I wanted them to see what a good job I was doing but it didn't work. Some of the other employees there said don't work so fast you're going to run yourself out of work. And I didn't get any more pay so I kind of slow down a little bit so that I wouldn't run myself out of work have a good day thank you for sharing your experiences
No, you're not likely to get any more pay or even any recognition for working harder.
Walmart has increased self checkouts and fewer cashiers. I expect it to be self serve totally by 2021
You were right. My Walmart took away a lot of registers and just left 4.
I have had a weird experience at one Walmart. The story goes.... I was hired through Monster.com for a company that wold required me to travel often to other cities on projects lasting from 50 to 70 days from home, so I decided to go to a Walmart and buy along with general stuff an electric shaving Machine. I went through the register and after paying went straight to my vehicle and decided to move the electric shaving to a different bag and to my surprised the electric shaver was gone. So, I went back inside straight to the Customer Service and was treated like shit. I asked to speak to the store manager and finally she showed up. Same, wouldn't help me. So, I had no choice than to go and buy another one. I did. As I was leaving the store loss prevention caught up with me at my car and asked me to go back with them and I did. First, they apologized to me and told me that the cashier charged me for the electric shaver but, instead of putting it in the bag, she threw it by her feet and hide it (It was caught on camera). I got my money back from the second shaver and was given the first one. The cashier was arrested.
Glad that you got your shaver back! Stuff like that happens sometimes in retail, and does not always end up in the customers favor.
I worked for Walmart for 10 years. The first 5 or 6 years were pretty good. After that, a bunch of new stupid rules started coming down from Bentonville and the place went to shit. You're right, nobody there including managers give a damn about anything. That includes both employees and customers.
