Overall a good work place
Photographer (Former Employee), St. Catharines, ON – April 4, 2013
Pros: work with all different people and capsuring memories
Cons: was only seasonal
My work day would start off by counting the till and preparing the studio to be opened. After opening the studio I would follow up on the days customers who were coming into the studio for portraits and prepare myself for any situation that may come with the days work. In between shoots I would deal with answering the phone and other customers in a – more... friend professional manor. I usually worked alone unless the day was booked with a lot of photo shoots which in that case I would work with one other person. The co-works and management were good to work with and for. I enjoyed working here and making customers happy with their ending results. – less

Pros: rewards for associates, great work place
Cons: crazy work hours, long hours
a typical day would start off slow and then go by fast for a few hours and then go slow again, I learnt how to mix paint, and do a fishing license, the managers were good, there were a few that were rude in my opinion, a few co-workers were great, the others I didn't interact with much cause they were in different departments, the hardest part of the – more... job was having hours that were all over the place, the most enjoyable part of the job is knowing you may have helped make a customers day better. – less

Good Place to Work
MID-LEVEL STORE MANAGER (Former Employee), Toronto, ON – March 29, 2013
A typical day at work can be anywhere from pretty simple to extremely busy. It all depends on the season, day, and other factors that may affect the traffic of customers into the store.

There's a huge amount of experience to be taken away from the position which most definitely can and will be used to move you into the next level of career advancement.

For – more... the most part you work with a lot of great people. – less

Front End Manager (Current Employee), Airdrie, AB – March 26, 2013
Pros: store discount of 10%
Cons: short staffed
I have filled various positions in my time with Walmart, from cashier to Front End Manager and everything in between., including Personnel Manager for a store of 300+ associates.

My co-workers make each day an entertaining experience.

Being very short-staffed, the hardest part of my day is continuously ensuring no line ups occur at the front registers.

My work day
Cashier (part-time) (Current Employee), Brockville, ON – March 25, 2013
Pros: meeting new people every day
Cons: part time
A typical day at work is running a cash reqister, smiling and being polite to customers. Some times it is fun and we are able to joke around with each other and our customers. Unfortunately, there are also times when things are not quite so much fun. We do have to deal with people that are not very nice for whatever reason and this makes the job difficult. – more... You try your best to make their experience a good one. For the most part everyone is friendly. I go out of my way to get along with everyone including my co-workers ... many of whom make it a pleasure to go to work each day. – less
