U get ur 1st eval after 90 days but you don't get a raise no more then after ur 1 yr is when u get ur raise....that's what I call cheap

If u have open avaibility then your suppose to get at least 33 hrs but that's not always the case i have to complain to mgmt to get my 40

Guest | Jul 20, 2010 
For the new employee your evaluation can be reviewed 30 days to 90 days. Be assure they are keeping track of what you do to see if you are company material.

Walmart can cut your hours, but if you have been with the company for quite some time I would suggest applying for unemployment for the days they take away.

Guest | Jul 20, 2010 
I'm a full time employee and ask wal mart just cut my hours drastically are they aloud to do that

Guest | Jul 20, 2010 
Customer Service is low at our Store! Not enough staff. Is this so our Store Manager can get a big bonus? We are pushed hard to take place of lesser crew.

Guest | Jul 20, 2010 
Why am I being taken from the electronics department on nights to work other areas of the store with no one to watch the money in the registers? (In Michigan)

Guest | Jul 20, 2010 
I want to know that when you are a new employee, when do you get your first evaluation?

I work at a Walmart in Texas....the managers at our store have huge favorites, and they get away with murder, yet others like myself end up having to work over

Guest | Jul 13, 2010 
i work at walmart and i am very stressed and unhappy cause the managers have a certain people that dont have to do anything

Guest | Jul 10, 2010 
My store is doing its best to get rid of long term and full time associates and hire part time help. This has been going on since March.

Guest | Jul 1, 2010 
The moral in my store is at an all time low. We should hear the results of the Grass Roots Surveys on Friday.

Stop the Layoffs!

We made billions of dollars in profit, but still decided to lay off 300 people at corporate and tons more at Sam's Club. Why the layoffs? Check out our financials and you will see that we didn't have to lay these people off.

You don't have a right to a job. If mngt. wants to lay people off, good for them. Over time we Wal-Mart will get a bad rep and they will have to raise salaries to hire people.

Yeah, I know we don't have a "right" to a job. I can't argue with that.
I just wish we could have gone a different route other than laying people off. With the job market the way it is, it seems crazy for a company as rich as wal-mart to be laying people off.

They are laying off a lot of people over here. People that shouldn't need to be layed off. Firing the associates with a lot of experience and keeping the associates that break the rules. I was a dept manager and was fired for not keeping up with 3 depts. I had no zoners. How was I supposed to keep up with that?

You can't look at just dollar amounts with such a large company. That is how you lose sight and push a company into the ground. Thats why you look at it in percentages. Also cutting a corporate should be looked at in a good view, it shows that the stores are not the only ones dealing with cuts. They are keeping it spread across the company. The Sam's Clubs that were closed down, were they meeting profit? Also they use surrounding stores to absorb the work force that lost jobs.

I was one of the ones who got laid off at Sam's when our entire department closed. Came to wal-mart, wish I never left Sam's Club.
