Wal-mart great for senior management only

Department manager/assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing much. Why do you not see all those happy employee commercials on any more. Employees could not figure out where those people worked. The 10% employee discount may be important and helpful to employees.

Cons

Long hours required for Assistant Managers. The store manager would direct the assistant managers to "get rid" of store personnel whom they did not personally care for. Saw much discrimination towards both staff and customers who were "different". Poor employee morale-if an employee had a complaint about a CSM or higher-they were labeled a troublemaker. There is a very low wage scale for all except senior management. It seemed the better a manager could lie, the farther they got.

Wal Mart managers are paid more to give less.

Department manager

Business Outlook

Pros

If you act like an idiot they will ignore you and not make you work hard. There are actually some good managers in California. Wal Mart in California is probably more concerned that the state will force them treat people fairly and more likely to allow all Wal Marts to become Union.

Cons

If you have any intelligence the upper level managers will beat you down in fear for their jobs and work you to death. Managers are paid more to keep wages low! There is a direct link to what Wal Mart calls LOSS that is to say WAGES and managers bonuses!!! There is a constant effort to remove any kind of power from the employees. And if you say you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your job, training, leadership, you get canned.

Wal-Mart needs to work on how they treat people

Pros

i dnt have any best reasons to work for Wal-Mart

Cons

the way ur treated- walmart doesnt care about the associates just trying to make their customers happy how you are treated by management- management has a clear difining line of where you should stand and where they are: I was told not to interact with the associates that much because i was part of management. They don't have conversations with the associates unless its about work. how flexible they are when people have family matters- one of the managers had issues with her new born baby and they wouldnt let her leave her shift to go take care of what she needed to do they like to over work you and under pay u
