Walmart reviews

First of all, after spending time at Walmart I understood that the work experience you get is highly dependent of the team you are going in. Unfortunately, I landed in very bad team and my experience was very bad. All the things related to work for me are bad. Showing partiality to some people, not recognising the people for their efforts, rewards system was never clear (rewards are always given to people who puts butter to the manager) and to add it all, the managers are the worst...they don't know what the team members are doing...no clarity on what the road map is for future. I am under 3 managers in my tenure, out of these 3 only the last manager was decent enough..the first 2 are horrible I should say. The less I talk about this work, the better it is. And coming to policies, the HR team says they have innovated the policies for covid situation and all...but in reality all they have done add a small clause to the existing. I will give you an example...there was a fitness reimbursement policy of 1500/pm initially when I joined, they converted it to 18000/py (you can use as much as you can but it is limited to 18k per year) and called it innovated...all they have done is lifted the monthly limit. Now, after covid WFH situation they said that we can buy a computer chair and all...but in reality that again was included in fitness reimbursement. So, fitness + chiar is 18k per year...how funny it is..it is obvious that no body is going to gym during covid....they just adjusted that amount to chair and calling it innovative. There are many like this. So, in short any thing related to work/policies are horrible for me.

Walmart doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up. On paper, they are doing the right things - buying companies, making partnerships, hiring smart people. However, it all falls down in the execution as the leaders in Bentonville don't REALLY want or accept the new, diverse, disruptive thinking that all brings. Instead, they just want the revenue and the smart people they've hired or acquired to keep their mouths shut and to smile and nod and to be grateful they part of Walmart. This is made very clear when we are told to "behave ourselves" or when the new talent is excluded entirely from business-critical meetings.
