Walmart

"Don't shy away from a challenge. Stay in contact with everyone you meet."

"Great place to get money, but does not support work life balance well. "

"Don't bother because you get over worked , underpaid and ontop of this you eill het intimidated by the manager and told that you can be replaced when your working your hardest because its not fast enough for them. Also i would like to add that when you work here be prepared have terrable managers. Also theft is very popular here too. I had to give up my monday shifts because i would always come home with headaches and would be very wired that i wouldn't be able to sleep until 4 in the morning and being a student i would usually be wreaked the next day in class. I started to develop heart issuses from also working the closing shifts because they only put you on the floor and expect a three man job done in your shift time frame. Also it started affecting my mental state snd i would always be angry. Eventually i started leaving an hour earlier because i was physically and mentally falling appart. To sum this up i am glad to have given up my monday closing shifts and i would never take that type a shift again "

"It is what you make of it. If you want to succeed you will. "

"working here is alright. not much else to add to it"

"Culture was cold. Most people are there to collect a paycheck. "

"Decide in the first week if you're going to go whole hog and take the blue pill or if it will just be another link in your resumé."

"It's an entry-level job to get some experience. Well known brand."

"Good place to work great benefits. Pay should be more. "

"Negotiate any salary offer, there is always a range that is used. "

"No work - life balance although pay and bonus is good."

"Literally would not recommend to anyone, male or female. All true girlbosses should avoid."

"Find a sponsor or mentor who can help you be successful at this company"

"I worked in Walmart marketing for over 5 years. Generally, people are kind and respectful. The company prides themselves on this “respect for the individual” and I feel that is true. For such a large organization, it’s more entrepreneurial than I thought it would be. If you have an idea to improve an idea or process, you can probably make it happen. Leadership visibility is how you get promoted. If you get a supportive manager, they’ll help you figure out how maneuver within the company and raise your visibility in such a large organization, if that’s what you want. That said, there is a lot of turnover, as well as frequent reorgs and leadership changes (I experienced at least 1 reorg/leadership switch a year, sometimes more). That got to be a bit much, and the constant pivots felt less like adaptability and more like lack of long-term vision. "

"Not much training and then get mad when you don't know what to do. "

"Be careful. You can be treated very unfairly without reason. Results don’t matter, it’s very political and lots of gas lighting even after promotions."

"Find another company that will treat you better. If you have an emergency they will hold it against you if you miss time unless someone actually dies. "

"I have done well at Home Office and was promoted within 18 months, however, during the recruiting process I was only quoted from the low point to the mid point of the pay band thinking this was the full band. I would have negotiated a much higher salary had I known this. You have to be an advocate for yourself if you're wanting to move through the ranks, you cannot count on managers to help you navigate this. I love the people I work with. I feel that my peers genuinely care for you and your wellbeing."

"Keep an eye out for creepy customers, bosses, and coworkers the HR department doesn’t care about women feeling unsafe. Also, make sure that you are getting paid fairly"

"Be present and speak up on things that may concern you with your role."

"You have to work hard to develop a career path here and most likely upward mobility is outside the department you initially enter the company in. "

"They treat their employees as disposables, just numbers in a corporate machine."

"Be prepared to witness the good ole' boys' club in action. Fullfillment is a guy's game. "

"It's a fast paced environment, that if run correctly is very rewarding and fun"

"Ensure your ready for the fast pace and insults from customers with little support from managers if customers are rude."

"Working at Walmart they increase your paycheck by coming to work early and on time "

"It's not a place that you feel valued, unless you are apart of the "in crowd." "

"It is not easy to work reasonable hours conducive to a healthy family/work/life balance with Walmart. The company’s expectations of what one person can reasonably do in a work day is completely out of line with reality. Walmart burns its salaried and hourly employees out. Beware. The company is more in touch with their contribution profit/$ than the mental health of their employees. Everyone is simply a number. If one is lucky to work for home office, Silicon Valley corporate locations or Jet office, health insurance is good, however anywhere else the insurance is a high deductible mess! They do offer great schooling benefits! All you pay is $90 a term—but keep your fingers crossed you don’t get laid off while you’re attending. Walmart is in constant restructure mode and it’s hard to feel secure when you hear of its substantial company layoffs almost monthly. Unless working for Walmart is a life goal or necessary for survival, do yourself, your family and your health a favor— keep scrolling."

"Walmart headquarters has instituted a completely discretionary pay for performance system. I have raised repeatedly that studies have shown that these types of discretionary systems disproportionately harm women and minorities yet I got no response from HR. My VP is openly sexist with zero repercussions. Look at the number of female leaders who have left the company in recent years. "

"Set boundaries for yourself to allow for family/friends time and time for yourself. The workload can quickly become too much if you don't set reasonable expectations around your time."

"Also negotiate for more pay and feel free to walk away if you're not valued. "

"After the 90 days I had no problem fitting into a schedule. But that first 90 days was hell. "

"They put up a guise of equality however within reality everyone is well aware of the truth."

"Seems like a good place to work at in the United States"

"If you like spending time with your family then a full time hourly supervisor position isn't for you. Some weeks I have 15 hours of mandatory overtime."

"We're past the "ship is sinking" alerts, we're floating out in the sea with no life vest. It's not worth it (in the technology sector), it's especially not worth the move to middle of nowhere Bentonville, AR. If they're pouring so much money into a new campus it's because so many people have left after joining and realizing what they've gotten into (in addition to the constant mass layoffs we've had for the last 6 or 7 years). Everyone is beyond stressed and disappointed, it's not what it used to be since the layoffs began. The few women that work in tech are surrounded by men (vendors and WM associates alike) which sadly, the majority (60/40) are creeps so you have to watch your back. I used to love working here, sad to say I don't recommend it at all anymore."

"Don’t do it!! There is no room for real growth"

"Pay can be good for retail job but its not worth your sanity."

"Need more hours. Need to get paid more. Not recommended "

"Don't. It is not worth it no matter how desparate you are"

"There's camaraderie among the women in IT, we respect one another, there's no cattiness, no drama, we support one another, and we watch out for one another. Like any other place there's a couple of not so bright ones that you deal with only when you have to."

"Be careful who you talk to/sit by. Nearly every woman in my department reported a case of sexual harassment, including me. Don't accept phone numbers or food from strangers."

"Hate to say it but a lot of people sleep around on this job. Especially the ones that are married or in relationships. Guys will hit on you constantly and it's best to ignore it. Lots of cattiness on the job among women."

"Treats women well, there are women leaders at the highest level in the Labs organization. Great work life balance. You will need to learn to manage up"

"Volunteer for greater responsibility early to benefit later in terms of higher role and greater leverage when it comes to a flex schedule"

"If you are not one of the in crowd then you are treated very poorly. You get used for all the jobs that the others are suppose to help with but they find other things to do just so they don't have to help with the job they don't want to do. "

"Be prepared before joining. They do not train you well."

"I do not recommend to young women at all, unless no other options."

"Good maternity leave benefits. Able to pump at work without issues"

"There needs to be more women in leadership roles. Also, compensation is not equal among men and women. "

"If you have a family, you will never see them or be home for the holidays. My boss told me to kiss my family good bye."

"If it is not in management do not work here"

"As long as you are prepared to sacrifice time with your family, you can go very far in this company. Gender means nothing when it comes down to making money, which is their bottom line. "

"Communication is key always apply yourself in all positions don't let anyone tell you that you're not qualified."

"It depends on onsite management what kind of luck you have as a woman with Walmart however it does seem that a fair minded manager is the exception rather than the rule"

"equal opportunity employer and very family oriented which helps me to feel more secure in my choice of employer"

"It's not going to be able to pay for much but it's a starting job nonetheless."

"Even if your pregnant they will work you like a dog."

"Keep your schedule open you will have to change it often."

"Great culture and great benefits for working women and working moms."

"Great place to learn about retail business, not a place for working women."

"You should only move up if you are healthy, young, and single."

"It is a good culture overall, but unconscious bias still exists"

"Not a good employer if you are a single mother who has nobody else to help with your children "

"good luck. we are fun to work with you just have to deal with the stupidity and the long way of doing things."

"I worked here on and off in high school and college. My particular store was an OK environment for me, but now that I know what I know about Wal-Mart's practices in general, I do not plan to return to work for them again."

"Try to get to know as many people as possible. You never know when you'll need their knowledge on any given day."

"In order to work for this corporate giant you have to have a very thick skin. They let you know all the time you are a dime a dozen and easily replaced. You have to be willing to put family life on hold because it's very hard to get time off when you want/need it. The upside of this company is it's fairly easy to move up the corporate ladder in a reasonable amount of time."

"NONE"

"Mix of well intentioned leaders with lots of incompetent ones. Mediocrity is rampant. Choose your dept and colleagues well. Beware of old timers who have been with the company for decades and not bothered to upgrade analytic skills or learn to work in a diverse environment. Accessibility to senior leadership is high and a big plus. Stay connected and build relationships and you can go places."

"I am not really sure."

"Be very careful"

"N/A"

"Good experience if you find the right manager"

"This company is fairly equal when it comes to the treatment of men and women."

"Good"

"Terrible to work with. They refuse to promote me because people call in. They cut my hours to give those people more hours. And I show up everyday on time and I do my job. I'm a hard working pregnant woman and I just want to be treated the way I deserve for the job I do."

"If your looking for flexability your working at the wrong place."

"Yes. Equal opportunity workplace overall.i never had a sexist comment, or treatment that wasnt approptiate."

"I wouldn't say anything to the woman"

"Walmart is a great place to come learn and grow with a company. If you work hard and build relationships you will be rewarded for your efforts. "

"Don't do it,it is the most terrible job to have when you are pregnant.They barely give you any money."

"It's great working there"

"I would tell them it depends what area they work in and what manager is supervising them."

"Don't. Find a better company! This is an old school company about to forget its core business."

"They cooperate well with your restrictions, especially when pregnant. They keep check on your request off times for appointments and to be with baby and recover."

"Hang on get ready for no respect and feel like you are in boot camp."
