Walmart Employer Reviews

For the period that I (assisted) worked at the store, the experience was one that helped me learn new things and have a better understanding of what the customer wants.

Swipe to start Zone merchandise to managers liking. Clean and sign hazard/sweep logs . Assists costumers when they're lost or need assistance finding particular objects.
I've learned the 3-meter rule with customers and associates. I've learned how to correctly clean the aisles and merchandise. The managers are very fun and helpful they briefly show – more... you how to do exactly what they want done and expect from you. The hardest part of the job is dealing with disrespectful customers. The most enjoyable part is working with your co workers. – less

I was working 15 hours a week and they would take every weekend I had and they would make me work on it. After I requested every second weekend they still managed to keep me working every weekend. I was only getting paid $9.89 per hour because they refused to pay me more (despite having 1 years experience). Besides the fact they never mentioned how – more... much I would get paid or that I was going to be a cashier tell I was hired. You stand there at your cash register and check people out. They will force you to be there when you're sick. I was sick one day and they made me stay there because the manager "forgot about me". My co-workers were awesome to work with and the hardest part of the job was the non stop people you had to check out. – less

Walk the floor with the evening manager to find out what special projects need to done or what departments need more attention or that has a lot of freight to be worked before store opening. Hold beginning shift meeting. Assign the staff areas to where they need to work. Hold weekly safety meetings. Hold monthly grass roots meeting. This is where the – more... staff can bring up any concerns, or have ideas to make job better.Teach new staff of protocals and procedures when working on the floor.

What I learnt the most,is people who work at Wal-mart over night are sometimes the hardest people to work with, They tend to have no sense of humor and no morals.

The over night manager was easy to work with as we tend to see things the same.

Hardest part of the job was when half youe staff phone in sick and you have 2 trucks of stock to put out.

The last day of the week and looked forward to having time off. – less

i do job at walmart and i like it thought.And its very typical also. i learned a lot there, before that my communication level was very poor . i cant speak english very well, but now i can speak it very easily. And managemnet is good though. my co-workers are also very simple and helpful and its not too much hard.

It is a good working environment, during my time there, co-workers were friendly and helpful. There is always something to do, your never standing around, the part I liked about it was just constantly being active. One thing I learned was how to operate a baler, that was fun for me. The only part that I think was hard was working around the customers – more... during the holidays, you are pushing a cart full of merchandise, and the aisles may be crowded at times. But it wasn't really a big deal haha. – less

My review isn't about the job, it's about my experience at the interview at the Barrie North location.

The management team seemed more interested in playing around with each other rather than paying attention to any of us sitting in front of them. It was evident that the people they wanted had already been pre-determined and the rest of us were just – more... there out of technicalities. During the "speed round" of interview questions where you are given 60 seconds to answer a question before you have to move on to the next manager to be given another question, I had the feeling that something was going on over my shoulder while I was answering my question. Out of instinct I turned around to see one of the managers mouthing something to the manager I was in front of and when I looked back at the manager in front of me she was mouthing an answer back. This happened as I was answering my question and I doubt she even heard much of what I had said to her at all. Also during this time I noticed most of the female managers were busy playing around with each other rather than focusing on the candidate in front of them.

I realize the reason behind the speed round questions however I do feel that the candidates deserve the full attention of the manager in front of them. I found the process to be incredibly unprofessional and frustrating and I was positive I was wasting my time because out of 6 of us there was only a couple that they seemed interested in and this was evident from the start. The rest of us were ignored for the most part and given very little eye contact at all during the information part of the interview.

Judging the information we were given, Walmart sounds like a good place to work, but if this is the way management performs as a whole at this particular location, I won't be applying here again. – less

Working at Wal-Mart was an interesting case for me. I got a part time job as a cashier while going to school. It was easy work, I got paid. That is all it was for me. I would need to write a book to describe my whole story there in detail, so basically I will get straight to the points.

A few of the managers were drunk in the middle of the day. Customers – more... actually complained to me that a drunk manager slammed a cart into them. What am I expected to do in this situation, tell them to take it up with the other drunk manager? Yeah right!

You can change your schedule to take a day off to go to the doctor if you are dying, but expect to lose 1 of your shifts every week thereafter. Do it a few times and you won't have much left.

If you want you payslips you will get them...for the first 2 weeks. I tried asking for them but they actually told me they didn't have them. I worked for 4 months and got 2 biweekly payslips total.

Some of my cashier coworkers had been there for 20 years. I don't know why they are proud to wear a silver badge that says they have made minimum wage for 20 years in a row, but that is beside the point. These people always felt the need to tell me how to stand. I like to stand with my arms crossed, I even do it in the shower. But, because I do understand body language, I would only do it at work when there were no customers. Even though the cashier veterans were the only ones that could see me, they still tried to order me around on my stance. Whatever.

At Walmart, they want you to sell this Walmart Mastercard where people can earn cash back. If the person I offered this to knew very basic mathematics, they instantly declined the offer. Basically, nobody wants it. When it was really busy in the store, I would never offer it to people because it takes 15 minutes to apply for it at the till. This was my customer service... not wasting people's time. Management didn't like this very much and classified me as an unsatisfactory worker. When one of the drunk managers went though my till and I didn't offer him the Mastercard, he went and told MY manager and she almost fired me. I got off with a warning. Needless to say, I can't use Walmart as a work reference because to them. I sucked. – less

Great coworkers. I really enjoyed being able to use my photograghy skills at work.

As an accounting office associate I was able to work independently and communicate with all associates including upper management. My job required a lot of patience and dedication to complete tasks on time. I had to see through multiple tasks at a time and there were days where it would overflow and consume me, however with time management skills and – more... good people around me, I was able to enjoy my workday with no problem. I learned not to take criticism to heart and that everyone deserves as much respect as I would expect for myself. The hardest part of the job was during peek seasons like Christmas and Back To School. I wouldn't get many hours because I was a part-timer, so my pay check was somewhat unrealistic to keep up my lifestyle outside of work. My hours kept getting cut short and shorter each month, because the company couldn't keep up with their budget. That is the only disappointment I can come up with. My managers treated me like a friend and that's what motivated me to be productive and enthusiastic. Having a close-net family at work was the most enjoyable part of my job and I would've never traded them for any other team in the world. – less

I enjoyed working at walmart because the staff was amazing the management team worked very well with the crew, i honestly felt like they were my second family. They had many different events in terms of bringing us all closer like potlucks and fundraisers such as pancake breakfast, they even got the caribbean steel drumming band to come play for our – more... store to invite customers to come by, and to create a vibrant multi-cultural environment. I did truly love my experience there and they will forever be remembered as great people who opened up doors for me to grow in work experience. Thank you walmart for giving me an amazing opportunity to work within your company. – less

Everyday is a different day, its never repeative. I provide customer service, deal with money. I have learned to work in a fast pace enivironment, manage my skills, I have a great bubbly personalility and get along with all my co workers. I am very friendly. I enjoy my job because i meet new people everyday exspecailly from the states. Hardest part – more... of my job- trying to understand and people understanding me when they dont speak english as there first language also hour cuts is a hard part of my job – less

Anyone who has worked at the Okotoks Walmart Supercenter knows how terrible the management is. Treated with no respect, terrible pay, hours were terrible, just an overall bad job. But I still made the best of it, working well with the people I was surrounded by every day, my co-workers were awesome, and had a decently fun time doing the job that was – more... just terrible. – less

Most staff keep to themselves in close-knit groups, customers for the most part are friendly, some are impossible to please. It's not a bad place to work by any means, not glamorous either.

I enjoyed working there .It was a new store when i started the management was great and the co workers also i made a lot of new friends There was a lot to learn to being a manager but i enjoyed it.

very productive, fun workplace. learned people skills, learned how to deal with different situations.

I liked working at Walmart, I loved being a cashier, but at that time I was having a hard time medically and the supervisor wasn't exactly friendly about it.

overal it was good experience.
long shifts.
most enjoyable part was the shifs ending.
pay is minimum.
easy to learn to work there.

working at wal-mart is great. My co-workers are great people to work with. They have a great management team. I learned alot working there, for example i leared how to work better as an individual and a team. I grew as a person there and learned alot about myself also, like how strong of person i am and that i can handle long hours on my feet. The hardest – more... part of my job i would say wasnt really anything to do with my job directly but it was how far it was away. It was do-able but it was an hour and 15 minute walk from my house ( i do not drive). The most enjoyable part of my job had to be the people and the work envrioment it is very friendly and fun and just all around enjoyable. – less

I do enjoy woring at Wal-Mart Canada, the benefits are terrific and the team that I am responsible for are great!
I have loved being challenged to further my reach in the retail environment. It is very fast paced and the volume is quite high for freight.
I find that coaching and mentoring my team to be the most rewarding, but the overnight shift to – more... be very difficult to have a family life. – less
