It's good to know that people can afford to shop at Wal-Mart and live a decent life. I would love to see a Made in the U.S.A. 2.0 campaign. I think it's coming full circle. Thanks Wal-Mart!

I just went to work for Wal-Mart and I read some of the reviews on this board which sounds like it is a good place to work, but I hear from friends that it isn't. I think that the people on this board who work for Wal-Mart speaker louder than those who have never worked for the company. So far everything is going well and I have no complaints.

What i like best about Wal-Mart is, it is a WARM place to work. Try living here in the winter and you will understand. The working conditions are pleasant even though the pay isn't that great. It pays as well as other retailers in town and I do have benefits and I get to see lots of friends as I work. A good job for the money.

I like the interaction I have with the customers and the associates while working. If you work by yourself, it is just plain boring. The days go fast when you have someone to talk to now and then. Anyone who doesn't like working for a Wal-Mart store, probably doesn't like working anywhere.

Wal-mart sucks, you sold your soul out to the chinese and all for a quick buck. I'm tired of buying foreign goods. Why dooesnt Wal-Mart push for more goods bought in the U.S.

Walmart requires a drug test for employment and that is a good thing, because it keeps druggies out of employment in the store. When older people staff the store, you know that it is going to be well run because older people know how to work and they are not concerned with superficial things. I like working with the older people because they show respect to all. Working for Walmart is a very pleasant experience, but you just don't get rich.

Worked there a year. Pay, respect, benefits (LOL), job security, work/life, career potential (LOL), location (poorville), co-workers (druggies and management is incompetent), and work environment really sucks so bad it ain't funny.

If you work the 2nd shift, you will clean up all the mistakes of the "20 year service" idiots. They can't keep stockers. Don't waste your time in the garage department.

OT is a major castrophe. I worked in dairy. Day shift didn't stock anything. I did all their work. It is a brainwash company. Sex goes on in the back. Managers in love (actually two gay guys). I hated it so much I always put the newest dairy, eggs out first. Two day guys got fired for spoiled stuff. LOL!

They save families money but it is on the backs of the slaves like us. Drug use, drunk workers, etc. is normal there.

This is a great job for a college student. I get a 10% discount card and that really can help out. Plus, the work is not too demanding and I get to see friends during the day.

Wallyworld is a good place to work. I like the people I work with. What a fun bunch!!! The people make the difference. If you don't like your job, it is most likely the people you work with.
