Walmart needs to bring worker dignity back into focus

Cap i

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At Walmart if you put all your faith into moving up the ladder, you just might.

Cons

It is a punch to the gut for people who don't get promoted, and you will feel like you are dying a thousand tiny cuts if you don't fit in.

Avoid like the plague

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Yummy, nutritious snacks available for free - Big bonuses (if you aren't forced at the bottom of the stack ranking) - Flexible working arrangements if you have the right manager

Cons

This office was originally a startup that went bankrupt and Walmart acquired it, and all of the management from the startup (that failed) stayed, so as you can imagine, there is some terrible management here. - No diversity, management only likes to hire H1B candidates because they can't quit - Very political, people get promoted based on time there - Most people in Bentonville are very incompetent, and everyone in Bentonville hates everyone in the Reston office - Terrible health insurance - Hiring like crazy, definitely in the "trying to get butts in seats" mode at the moment

Treat Management with respect

Assistant store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Opportunity to make a good end of the year bonus.

Cons

- Walmart used to value their management but all they do is take advantage of you and layer on more while cutting back Associates in the store. - Never a positive tour if a Market Manager or higher visits your store. All they do is beat up your store and let you know what a poor job you are doing. When the visit occurs, just know that you will be working extra hours with no recognition. - Horrible work/life balance, if you have a family you well never see them.
