Sales associate

April 2018 • Batavia, NY

What I liked

The people at my store are amazing. My department functions as one happy little family. We look out for each other, give advise, and praise each other when appropriate for anything in life.

What I wish was different

Sometimes management is very frustrating. I wish they would listen to the associates more, but management is a problem everywhere.

Advice

Check out your local Walmart if you need a job. They have received a lot of backlash in the media, but I love my job

Morning Baker

June - August 2019 • Colonial Heights, VA

What I liked

I liked that I was able to use what I learned in school and apply it to my first job within my major.

What I wish was different

I wished that I was told beforehand that I was going to be crossed trainer in the deli while I worked there. If I had know that beforehand I would have reconsidered the position because I just wanted bakery experience.

Advice

Don’t take this job if you aren’t a morning person and not willing to be cross trained in other departments.

Cashier

What I liked

The people I worked with. Engaging with customers. Flexible hours. Pays college tuition (but only for certain degrees at their choice of college.)

What I wish was different

General mentality of the company. Weird corporate daily chants. The fact that cashiers can't sit.

Advice

Decent starting job/job while you're in school. But move on as soon as you can.

Certified Pharmacy Technician

January 2017 • Duluth, GA

What I liked

It has good pay for a college job and does give you a lot of experience in the health care field.

What I wish was different

Location and work load. Clientele in the location is not ideal and the workload can be high depending on the time of the year.

Advice

Be willing to learn new things, it does take some time to get used to. Working in the retail health field you will have to be prepared to meet and take care of some patients that are frustrated and angry.

Associate

May 2019 • King George, VA

What I liked

Great managers, clean environment. Messes were dealt with promptly. Customers are understanding when one is a new employee. Taught decently.

What I wish was different

I kept finding out tips of things that feel important enough to be included in training, but was not. Could not always communicate with the managers, and apparently they have a hard time communicating with different departments. I wish they'd be able to message us back at our terminals. Sometimes coworkers would just not listen to a manager, and then a thing would not get done. That was annoying to deal with.

Advice

Be a good listener, and don't talk back or question what your manager asks you to do. Usually, there's a method to their madness.

What I wish was different

I think people should take it and make the best of any position you can get.

Maintenance Associate

July 2017 • Pottstown, PA

What I liked

Got to interact with customers and meet people I wouldn’t normally meet.

Cashier

May 2018 • Biddeford, ME

What I liked

Lots of hours, had some great coworkers, made some money

What I wish was different

I wish we were better-staffed during the busy times of the day. When everyone gets out of work and goes grocery shopping from 5-8pm we always got slammed on the registers. This could have been avoided if the "computer" making the schedule changed its algorithm.

Advice

Working at Walmart is only as good as you make it! Stay positive, keep yourself busy (there is always stuff to do!) and interact with people. I know for a fact I have saved people's lives working as a Walmart cashier and that is something I am pretty proud of. I've got a lot of stories to tell but won't tell them all here.
