Good place to work
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee), Woodbridge – May 8, 2013
Pros: good pay
Cons: not enough hours
A typical day at work would be, punching in, walking to the front, see what register you were on, work for a few hours, some days were great, and some day's weren't all that good but we dealt with it.

I learned a lot more about how to deal and treat customer's.

Customer Service Managers were awesome.

My co workers were the best part there.

The hardest – more... part was when customers were upset about something and there was nothing we could do for them if there was an item they wanted but at the end we made it up to them by doing other things for them.

The most enjoyable part of my job was definitely working with my co workers and making those customers happy at the end of there shopping trip. – less

Productive Workplace
Cashier (Former Employee), Caledon, ON – May 7, 2013
Pros: friendly co-workers, promotion possiblities
Cons: abrasive customers, strenuous
Walmart overall is an excellent company to work for. The staff is extremely friendly and accepting, and always willing to help.
The managers are friendly and willing to aid their employees whenever needed.
When a job is well done, you can have pizza parties, and early morning workers get breakfast and late night workers get dinner, which I enjoyed immensely.
Handling – more... annoyed customers as a cashier is a given as a cashier, they are always present, though knowing how to listen and aid them is very useful.
The hardest part about the job is definitely having to deal with angry customers daily, it can be very taxing.
Though probably one of the most rewarding and enjoyable parts about the job, is getting to know the customers and genuinely making someones day brighter by your ability to listen, and aid them within your job ramifications. – less

Introduction into Management
Overnight Support Manager (Former Employee), Cambridge, ON – May 6, 2013
I had a fabulous time working with my team on the overnight shift. I was able to help out in all departments which made finding product as a consumer more efficient.

I loved when we were open 24 hours as I was able to interact with customers and be able to help them find what they were searching for during the busiest season.

The hardest part was – more... not being able to always accomplish the tasks for the night due to issues such as power outages, equipment failure or not enough product to stock.

The best part of the job was the never ending learning that occured. I learned both the front and back of the store including the warehouse. I also took an active role when grocery was added into the store to make it a superstore. Being able to help with both the grocery and the GM side gave me alot of knowledge in the retail sector. – less

Good place to meet people and develope skills
Department Manager (Former Employee), Leduc, AB – May 2, 2013
Pros: strong friendships, dental/medical benefits
Cons: low morale, late nights, weekend shifts, low pay
All department managers would leave their departments and get together as a group to fill produce, pantry shelves, dairy counters, etc... When we were finished, we would go do our counts, price changes, order merchandise, fill our stock, help customers, etc....
I learned about teamwork, leadership, providing good service, how to listen to customers, – more... organization and how to be creative in displaying merchandise.
I started as an overnight stocker, became an overnight support manager, and after 5 years went onto days to become a department manager. I respected my management team and my coworkers and developed a wonderful work atmosphere!
I had days where demands were higher than normal and found that I stressed over not getting everyhting accomplished. I tend to be a perfectionist and place alot of expectations upon myself. – less

Great experience, not to difficult to master
Cashier (Former Employee), Ottawa, ON – May 2, 2013
Pros: friendly environment, easy to learn the job
Cons: short on staff at times; gets busy
Worked on cash most days of the week. On certain days I would help unload or move crates around the store. I would also help out in the seasonal and garden center, caring for the plants and serving customers. I learned how to be helpful with customers as I acquired more knowledge of the store and products.
I had no problems with any of the staff, everyone – more... is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. The hardest part of the job would be the days where it is very busy and understaffed, but we managed to pull through and satisfy the customers. – less

A good way to learn
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Laval, QC – May 1, 2013
Pros: flexible work hours
Cons: management coordination
I started working here at the age of 16, it was a great way for me to learn how to deal with many different types of customers.
On a regular day (8 hour shift), I had served over 100 customers, so over the 2 years working there, I gained knowledge on proper ways to approach a customer.

fun to take pictures

could be better if they would just let you do your job. They expect you to take 12 poses of families when the family doesn't want anymore then 6 or 7

Poor in almost all fronts
Customer Service Manager (Former Employee), Calgary, AB – April 30, 2013
Pros: many breaks, flexiable hours
Cons: expected to cover multiple departments, poor customer relations
Typically I just did what I was suppose to, help customers and get product onto the floor. I learned little from management and did most of my learning via trial-and-error, usually ending with management siding with customers in regards to disagreements with products.

My co-workers for the most part were alright, relatively the same age so we all got – more... along good. Most were there to just work, not socialize.

Hardest part of my job was simply getting through it. I felt undervalued by management, and customers constantly felt better than me.

The only enjoyable part was the breaks, which consisted of two separate 15 minute breaks and a full (non-paid for) hour lunch. – less
