I’m a many year WM employee, and what I find interesting is that when I talk to people outside of work they always speak about WM as a place that overwork and underpays its employees. On the other hand, every year we’re faced with an army of applicants and new workers every year. How come it’s such a big difference between what we see on the field and what the general opinion on WM is?

To the pin heads who keep coming on here with their judgemental, imperialist attitudes against retail workers, two things:
-
Not everyone is cut out for college or specialized tech / industrial skills. That's a fact. It's why retail work has always been a good choice for those in that category and, while nobody expects it to pay well, it has historically been a feasible way to support one's self.

With Walmart's continual strangling off of the very work force they've constructed this country to refelct being, it's fast becoming a reality that those very human beings will be flooding---in unprecedented numbers---to government assistance programs. Because guess what, jack a------people aren't simply going to fade away and die. And guess who gets to pay for these programs? Shall I use Power Point or a flow chart to show you?
Jobs that don't require skill or education don't pay well and you have to work very hard to move up. That's the way it has always been. Get and education or work hard to move up without that degree. Stop crying.
Sorry to say this site is becoming reddit walmart
Even tho many of these peeps are the very ones bashing Walmart and its employees, to work there doesn't bother them. They think they're slumming it. They're above it all, cuz it's just temp while they're finishing school or to supplement hubby's income or what ever.
People just like to complain.....they would complain if you gave them a new rock.
