How Much Money Do Wal-Mart's CEO's Need to Make? Where is the money for the Associates?

Support manager

Pros

I was laid off my job that I went to school for. I could not find a job but Wal-Mart hired me. I've stayed due to that. Over the last few years it has gotten worse. Management has a job to do and its stressful and they pass that on down to the associates. Its horrible!!!

Cons

Management does not care about anything but money. I've been in three stores and this last store, the management team does nothing but walk around at night. When associates need help, they ignore the calls and/or you can't find them. Management expects the overnight associates to do more work with the freight that is humanly possible. No thanks, no nothing, in fact, they take away money from us and hours that we worked. If associates had 42 hours in a work week and the budget calls for only 40 hours, the management team can manipulate the system and take away those 2 hours even though associate worked it. It sucks. The associates do not get enough pay to begin with.

Pros

The compensation package is excellent. Between health care, the discounts, and whatnot, things are good. For example, if one is called to serve on a jury, not only do you get what the state pays you for your time, but you still get your regular pay. It takes an act of congress to get fired from the store. The attendance policy is a complete joke--but you can work it to your favor. I also like the stoke plan. I like being able to have the money automatically taken out of my check so that I don't ever see it; if I don't see it in the bank, I don't miss it.

Cons

You work your butt off with an only "We appreciate every thing you do." They are not glad, nor thankful, but appreciative. The other think you have to make sure you know the attendance, dress code, and attendance policies down to the letter--they will try to get you if you let them. On day one, get on the wire and look them up, print them out, and learn them--and then every few months check for any changes.Know the Wal-Mart system so management can't try to get you on anything. This is how I have survived here as long as I have.

Pros

Its Wal Mart. There are many departments available for you to work dependng on what you like. Its is a friendy enviornment most of the time.

Cons

Its Wal Mart. No respect from managers nor customers. Low pay Cant afford to live . Managers over look hard work and it sometimes make me wonder how they even became a manager in the first place. This company does not see people they only see numbers. Ive been told by people who have work their for twenty years and plus that the company has not been the same ever since the Walton family sold it.
