I don’t know about other locations but at my store it’s the same circle for years. Other than a couple of us long-timers there is always the same process of hiring the young new guys which quit after a while and then the new bach of newbies are hired and we get to train them. Any other stores experiencing this?

I’ve been with Walmart for 17 yrs now, and seen it get progressively worse year by year... as far as training?!?!? Lol... they hand you a box cutter, and say “here’s your isle... stock...”. That’s it.
That's how it use to be. Now the scheduling is so trash I would welcome someone to train. Lately our store is promoting associates who barely can sign on a TC70 to Dept mgrs, the pool of talent is non existing. Wait until the Team programs kick in it's going to get worse I tell you. I know after 25 years I'll probably be done. I did the ZMS thing. My mgrs thought I was great but I had to depend on myself to get things done. I'm doing all that over again with them c-appy hours and worse coverage.
They should stick a fork into the Walmart cheer, that culture is dead.
Walmart has gotten terrible, like all retail jobs, but a lot of this is almost nobody has a work ethic any more. Restaurants are HORRIBLE. I see these people standing around scrolling their phones, joking with each other---and darting off like roaches when you approach needing help with something. And the places themselves are disgusting, the tables obviously haven't been cleaned in ages, the floors a slick, greasy mess for a broken hip waiting to happen.
These are the same folks demanding $15. and hour. Get the fk outa here.
I’ve worked at three different stores and each one was a revolving door.
What training?
This is normal for any customer service job
This is what happens when there’s a revolving door, and they don’t treat their employees as assets. Is there an incentive to stay?
Not just at WM, believe me
