Immediate mgr is great senior mgmt is less than desirable

Pharmacy technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is great if you have a good mgr. My immediate mgr is great since leaving the company I still have contact with all of them. I would go back and work for them. However WalMarts biggest downfall is their senior mgmt district and higher. They do not know what it is like to run a Pharmacy. They are also afraid of being sued so they are timid at times when they need to be stern. If they would let the Pharmacy Mgr run their pharmacy like it is their own they would do a lot better in profits. It would be a better place to work if they let this happen

Cons

Senior mgmt. they do not understand what it is like to run a dept or work in one. They definitely have no clue about Pharmacy.

Pros

Profit Sharing, nice co-workers, some flexibility

Cons

disrespectful and mean managers, no personal independence, my hard work was not appreciated or recognized, the pay is too low for all the work that I do (cashier, customer service, stockpiling, cleaning, opening & closing), I had to be constantly doing work every second.

Stable, flexible job with career opportunities. Quit Whining!!!

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedules, except during the Christmas season. Good benefits (believe it or not). 401k, paid vacations, dental, medical, ADD, disability, sick/personal time. If you have a good attitude, and good work ethic, you can move up quickly! For many people, a part time/temp job is perfect for thier individual needs (retirement, students, bored people.....there really are people who HAVE to work).

Cons

Many of the negative aspects of this company stem from individuals. Houly associates who are not friendly, a manager or two who do not appreciate or respect thier workers. But a majority of the problems come from rude/ridiculus customers, and associates who do not appreciate the fact that they have a job, and that the company does not need/cant please them at every turn. If you dont like it, dont work here! Retail requires a certain kind of person, and many people are not cut out for this job.
