Walmart sucks, IMO. I worked in an electronics dept. for over year in 2012-2013. They rely upon the fact that 1) Government based social services make up for their lack of pay for employees. 2) Their rewards system even for employee achievement is SOCIALISTIC (store wide, not individual based) 3) Pay raises are the same for poor and good performing (except for the very top-unless salaried-see management) are a measly .40 per year. 3) Most employees were kept just below full time employment, thereby being ineligible for benefits. 4) The stores (or at least mine) was regularly understaffed which would effect customer service. I can’t tell you how many times I was frustrated by being the ONLY employee on duty on a busy Saturday morning in electronics when my goal was to provide the best possible service to every employee, I COULN’T physically help 4-8 customers at one time.
Sam Walton built a great company, for those that have family and friends that work at Wal-Mart we know how far the company has fallen as far as the way it runs the store since his death. Everything you posted is still going on today and they are following in K-Mart’s path of a retail company that has cut to many corners. Being the lowest rated retail store by customers is not a hit piece, it is simply reflecting years of neglect by their management on how to run a successful retail company. They fired the last North American store CEO just six months ago for a reason.
