in the wal mart here in
canada where i work
its wierstostuff
the employees all seem
well and happy
wal mart never fires anyone
they laterally transfer you
the employeed overturn is
very high though
cause of the conditions
the employees have to work
in
for instance, i work in the deli,
every night if i had to close, like
tonight, i have to wash everything
from knives to the chicken cooker
to the chicken coop
and then at the end of it a manager
has to come and approve it
now tell me what other jobs is there
where an employee has to wash like this?
the cashiers are expected to stand for their
8 hr shifts, sure then get two fifteens and one
hour lunch, all employees have to stand
the guys unloading the trucks are just everyday
kids working after school to make some money
they are not trained like they should be
as a matter of fact, if you took a sensus here,
the only training one gets is from word of mouth
from an employee who has been there longer
then you
its not a great place........the pay isnt too bad,
and its after 9 months you can get benefits
they just lack in a few areas......but i will say this
before you can assume your job, you get computer
CBLS, a crash course on what to do in case
of a chemical spill, or harrassment, and such
you have to pass these before they will hire you
for the most part, the products are chinese, however,
they do try to import american made products and
all of our deli meats and cheeses are local
as is the produce...........i have noticed too, that a lot
of stuff is from europe... i.e. dinnerware, flatware,
shoes

I might just like this company more than I thought! And everyone is so genuine! there is none of the fake crap I saw overtaking Target in the past few years...they have a very interesting abscence policy...3 days in a row actually only counts as one abscence! With my migraines this is refreshing...not that I plan on being absent at all...but it is good to know! And you don't call in to the store...you call an 800 number! No dealing with a managers attitude on the phone! Over 6000 stores! 1.8 million employees! Wow! Yes...I think they win over Target!
First 
be glad ya got one coming SD...
