I liked having a steady and dependable job. I also worked with two of my brothers.
What I wish was different
The teamwork. You don't get to know the other cashiers very well because you clock in and the stand behind your own register for four hours while every other cashier does the same, so there wasn't a lot of time get to know each other and form any sort of work "family". In the end I was offered a position at another company not even a month after starting at Walmart. I now work at A.C.Moore where I know my fellow coworkers much better. It offers a more friendly environment and I look forward to go to work 'cause I know I have friends there.
Advice
Wear good shoes, take your breaks outside (the breakroom is stifling) and ask for Sundays off. Having that little bit of a weekend does wonders.

What I liked
The people I worked with were all really nice and helpful.
What I wish was different
I worked too many hours- about 40 a week. This was hard considering I was also taking classes at UNF.
Advice
Before taking a job make sure the hours are enough to where you can make money and keep up in school.
I like how they can with you and your schedule... Also if you need to leave work for a while and come later they are able to let you do so.
What I wish was different
I wish they store was more organized and clean
Advice
It’s a good experience to work with others, but over all you just have to work and do what you’re asked to do

Sales Associate
August 2018 • Kennesaw, GA
What I liked
I'm not very fond of this job but i like that it allows me to pay rent and keep food on the table.
What I wish was different
Management, work load, employee treatment and expectations, pay, ability to unionize, etc.
Advice
Walmart is a company that does not really care about its employees and they will look to overwork you and underpay you as much as they can. I recommend this job to anyone who needs some sort of income that is better than fast food but if you can work at some other place that respects its employees and pays them a livable wage, I would recommend you go for that instead.

Cashier
July 2019 • Lafayette, CO
What I liked
Ease of entry to the position.
What I wish was different
Promptness of management to respond to job application, ability of managers to properly schedule work times, internal cohesiveness of management, transparency about wages and inflexible scheduling.
Advice
Wal-mart is not a bad work experience on its own. The most detrimental aspect of my time there has been the incompetence of management. Otherwise, it is what it is: repetitive, consistent retail work.
