I hate to sound cruel and insensitive, but anyone working at WalMart and expecting to get all the perks typical of corporate America should consider working to improve themselves and getting a real job on a real career path.
This wasn't being pushed by employees of walmart. It was being pushed by UNIONS because walmart is NON union, based in Arkansas, and pro American, all things socialist entities like unions hate.
Go Walmart! Go Target! Go Home Depot! (Big wins for them too!)
Walmart does provide insurance I am pretty sure for full time employees, they are or were self ensured. Last time i worked in medical billing, anyway. And like lots of places, WM is a good place to work for lots of different groups of people. Personally, i don't look down at WM employees. I might be the old lady greeting customers some day, just to get out a little bit and maybe a discount.
You are very uninformed.
I have been with WAL~MART for the last seven Years and the benefits are pretty good,so is my pay.
WAL~MART promotes from within and you can build a career with WAL~MART.
You are listening to the Union mouthpieces my friend.
