If you want a job where you have to really work, work for Walmart. The manager doesn't seem to notice those who are standing around BS'ing. while the rest of us do the real work.

i can't wait to be manager and then I will do it my way. I will eventually get to be a manager because I know how to work.

I got laid off from the casino here but was lucky enough to get on with Walmart. Thank goodness there is at least one company still doing ok in the down turn. So far so good but some say I will hate it after I have been here awhile.

Walmart work is easy, but when I finish college I won't be sticking around becasuse the way I figure it is, if you move up to work at the home office, you have to work too many hours and there aren't that many perks. I would like to get some free travel by working for someone else. Working in the store is a pretty good job if that is all you are capable of doing.

At of all the places I have worked, Walmart at least tells me I do a good job. Some places just ignore you like you are a bump on a log and never tell you anything unless you do something wrong. I hate refolding the clothes that people mess up, but making the stack look neat really isn't that hard. I got a bonus recently and used the money to help pay a down payment on a car.

I enjoy working for Walmart. I was out of the work force a long time, but medical costs drove me back to find some job to help supplement our income and I think Walmart knows that older workers are very dependable.

Management is a real pain some times but the overall environment isn't bad. I could certainly take a higher paycheck. Everyone told me retail never pays much but it is easier than standing on a line.
