Walmart reviews

Management positions didn't seem to be treated as so. Store Managers and Assitant Store managers (which i was) were doing EVERYTHING for fear that if we asked employees to do to much they would strike and try to get a union. Very long hours, very little pay for the amount of hours put in. Little opportunity to get weekends off. No respect from upper management or lower level employees since the assistant manager job was pretty much a glorified jack of all trades.

This company is still a "who you know" and "how much you suck up" company when promotion opportunities come, which causes grief to those that believe America got where it is by providing opportunities to the best performers. Not so at Walmart. Be prepared to get into a clickish work environment, and have unqualified people manage others that are more qualifed. Look out for retaliation, it happens. The "open door policy" only works to alert managers that they have a problem with the one that used the open door, and that this person should be watched. Most associates are more concerned about getting themselves more money, than they are about contributing to the objective of their job.
