Pros

The insurance is good. I know I make more money than some of my peers. I feel like its job security because so many people shop there. No matter how bad the economy gets, consumers are still going to need to buy groceries so I also feel like its a good choice to stay stable in uncertain times.

Cons

Wal-Mart's attendance policy leaves things to be desired. I understand that people shouldn't call in all the time. But I totally disagree with giving someone an unexused absense when they have a doctor's note to prove that they or a family member were actually ill. I have a write up on my record that i was given for missing a total of six days in a twelve month period. Only one of those absenses did not include a doctor's note. Actually the one day I missed that I didn't go to the doctor was due to a sunburn I recieved while I was working on a charity project for guess who...Wal-Mart!

Pros

This role itself is one of the easiest jobs you can have — the work isn’t difficult. However, the way the company operates makes it unnecessarily convoluted and frustrating. It feels more like working for a call center than directly for Walmart. There is absolutely no Walmart culture here, just micromanagement, office politics, and favoritism. Your breaks, log-ins, and even the exact time you get into or out of the cab are all monitored and tied to your scorecard metrics. Even missing a break by a second can drop your score and land you in a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), which essentially means you’re on the fast track to being fired. This is a hire-and-fire culture — every week people are hired and every week people are fired. Nobody survives PIP. Management fabricates evidence by cherry-picking tickets where mistakes were made, even if overall performance is good, just to justify putting someone into PIP. It’s clear they don’t want employees questioning how or why things are done. Those who speak up or suggest improvements are swiftly targeted and removed. There is zero work-life balance. You’re expected to work solid 9-hour shifts with no breaks or personal time, despite having engagement rooms and other facilities you’re never allowed to use. You can’t even listen to music to make the day bearable — headphones aren’t allowed. There’s no personal or medical auxiliary time, so even if you’re unwell, you have no way to take a proper break without approval. The micromanagement extends to ridiculous levels, with TLs, leads, and managers colluding to maintain control and protect their own interests. It feels like a closed family where only those “in the know” get ahead while others suffer. The company also fires top earners and rehires replacements at much lower salaries as a cost-cutting strategy, which adds to the toxic environment.

Cons

Any small perks like free food or cabs are completely overshadowed by the daily stress, micromanagement, and unfair treatment you face here.

Pros

PTO, PPTO , RTO when it is available, being able to work from home.

Cons

Everything else. They outsourced to India and these people dont have to take calls but yet the people who have been here get taken out of chat and take all the calls.. How fair is that? The are metric driven and do NOT care about how well you are onthe phone.. only numbers numbers numbers. Heaven forbid you go over by a minute or two , then you are put on a action plan and get punished. No one listens and to have any issue solved it takes months. They move at a snails pace and they have the most incompentant people working for them. I have been looking for something else. The pay sucks and you are not paid fairly at all.. Save the company billions in return abuse and get few cent raise.. Walmart is horrible and they should be ashamed of themselves
