Walmart reviews

The department managers did not unlock doors, override transactions, step-in as backups when people called off. Difficult to work when procedures are not followed, customer satisfaction is second to profit, and you are expected to work different days of the week with as little as a few days notice to a change in your normal days. HR person is usually difficult to find and talk to about concerns or forms that need to be filled out.

Stress and poor communication that leads to additional stress! It's honestly difficult to think of a true downside that is exclusive to being with Wal-Mart. I guess the only thing is the inability for many of the long term associates to adapt to changes currently underway at Wal-Mart. Again, though, this is not a problem exclusive to Wal-Mart, all retail chains must change to adapt to changing times in the industry. It's the companies like Circuit City that fail to implement change year after year that are destined to fail. I feel more secure working for a company that is always changing than for one that continues to do the same thing year after year!
