Had someone at SCO chatting me up asking, “So how much does Walmart pay?” 😅 I told them it depends on the position and location. Starting pay here’s around $15/hr but it varies. I guess the poor guy is considering a Walmart application but he doesn't have a clue about what it's really like.

man idk whats goin on lately but walmart got me doin like 3 jobs at once 😩 one day i’m on register, next i’m pushin carts, then they want me stockin shelves too?? like chill bro i ain’t a robot 🤖 hours gettin cut but work gettin more?? make it make sense 😭 supervisors be watchin like hawks too 🦅 sayin “we just checkin in” nah u just stressin me out

anyone else feelin this or is it just my store???

Dear TL’s and coaches, how about you set the tone properly for once? Do you think anything changes once you start to moan about the most unimportant stuff ever? Why can’t you just be an example for all of us and do your job properly? Just like I said set the tone so that we can follow it.

I think it's sweet of them to leave some snacks or some fruits in the break room. I don't know if it's the same for every store but I think it's really kind and actually allows walmart associates to save some money you know.

I hate whenever an associate shows me a stupid meme on lunch break and expects me to laugh my a^s off. I mean I don't want to break anybody's heart and offend them in any way but if someone shows you a meme on their phone with a grinning face expecting you to burst out laughing, there is at least 90% chance that what they show you is not that funny. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.

I'm tired of all the trash talks that are coming from the walmart associates who turn out to be "day one eagles fans". It was the chiefs people who were popping out of nowhere to let everybody know that their team won the super bowl but this time, the eagle fellas coming out. I don't know man but I respectfully don't care about who won the super bowl. Are you helping me carry this tv or nah? That's what I care about.

I'm a walmart associate and I've been working at walmart with my brother for the past 6 months. Yesterday he got fired because he got into an argument with the coach during coaching. The tyranny is insane they don't even hide it anymore.

Me and my husband both work for walmart and I saw him the other day with a walmart t-shirt on and I almost divorced him for it.

Guys what should I be careful about when I'm doing my walmart spark driver application? Do they need a specific car or something? What can help me to boost my chances?

Life as an ogp walmart associate must be so strange it might actually make people do the weirdest things. There is this associate of mine who started to collect tomorrow's orders 'just in case'. I don't know what made him think that this is a normal thing to do and frankly, I don't want to know.

I'm an ogp associate at Walmart and I must tell you, whoever helped their ogp associates needs a big fat thank you. Starting with the associates at my store who helped us a lot, then everyone at the other stores who helped their ogp people. Love you guys. Thank you very very much. You guys are the best. These past few days were the days that your help was needed the most and boy, did you deliver.

There is this kid who was nearly hired to the store and I'm pretty sure he is a 17 year old boy. Surely that's not legal right? Should I call Walmart ethics? What are the age requirements for store associate in Walmart? Am I tripping or do we have a real problem here?

I'm planning for a transfer to OGP Walmart and that department has divided our store. The reason for that is half the store hate OGP Walmart and half the store just don't care. I'm in the second group but I don't know why do people hate it so much. Their main reason is apparently OGP Walmart associates don't work as hard as the rest of the store. As far as I can see, that's not the case. I made some friends who work at OGP Walmart and they work their as^^s off. Do you hate OGP Walmart or just don't care?

Hello dear associates. You don't need to know my name but what you need to know is I work at Walmart as a front end associate and I'm getting sick of it. When I started this, I already knew it wasn't one of the best jobs at Walmart but still, I wasn't expecting this amount of disrespect and unfairness. When you want to do a Walmart job application online and you read the job description, it's not a complex job, at all. You run a register, help people at the SCO, greet some people and get paid, go home, feed your kids, and live your life. That sounds like a plan, right? Unfortunately, it's not what it seems. I used to read negative comments about the job online before I completed my Walmart application, and I'm not gonna lie I thought people were overreacting. I mean how bad could it be, right? Well, let me tell you how bad it could actually get for you as a front end associate at Walmart. I'm going to tell you about my one day as an associate of this company and you will feel enough to hate this job. Yesterday, I clocked in and bang, the chaos started. My manager tells me to hop on a register because the line gets uncontrollable at other registers. Anyway, I did just that for about an hour and then here he came again, asking me to run the SCO because the person that's running it is missing today. They couldn't find any other associate but me. Anyway, I went there and started helping people who have no idea how a technological device works, and telling the teenagers that they actually need an ID to buy alcohol, etc etc. Usual stuff. And then some id^^t dropped a bottle of wine and apparently maintenance was short yesterday (they're always short btw). While I was cleaning the area, well let me put it this way, while I was doing something that was not my job, I had to answer 10 questions from the customers in like 5 minutes. And then I'm being called to carry a 50 inch tv because I'm young, I can do it. (like there are no other young people in the store). Then I finally got back to my register and found people yelling at me about how they had been waiting for me for 10 minutes while my front end manager giving me a side eye because I wasn't in a place where I was supposed to be (like he isn't the one who started all of this). So like that's just one day. You might think that I did most of the things that I stated at the beginning of the post as some things that are in the front end job description. Well, fair enough and not fair enough. Let me tell you why. I was lucky that my manager didn't run into me yesterday because if he did, I'm 200% sure that he was going to warn me about me not being in my register. That's how hypocritical these people can get. Another thing, I did the job of maintenance yesterday and I can assure you I did that tens of times for this month alone so far. I also can assure you that I'm not going to get paid extra for it. So I get to do a job that can be done by 3 people, but I get paid the salary of one. That's what bothers me the most and this is only the monetary part. The psychological part is another mess. There is no sympathy from managers. They don't understand you. They don't want to understand you and they never did, or will. Anything you say to them is an excuse for you to not doing your job. It's really humiliating to so many people including me (rightfully so). So here it is, Walmart is a company that will use you for 100% of your powers and abilities and not match your performance and sacrifices when it's a payday. If you are okay with that or you have no other choice like so many people, come to Walmart. I guarantee you won't enjoy it, but it is what it is.

Here we go with the month that will make Mariah Carey our best friend.

Hi guys. I just finished my shift and I’m posting this while I’m going home in my fiance’s car. I work at Walmart as a front end associate and I remember coming to this company HYPED. Because it’s my first job, and I’m excited to start my life, you know? I remember feeling like having a party after completing my walmart application. But that changed after 2 weeks on the job. As you can guess or imagine, I went back and forth with a customer and I don’t know if you know this but if you’re a front end associate, talking back to a customer is like talking back to your parent. It’s basically a sin at our store. I don’t know if it’s the same for you guys, I hope not. Because it’s a huge pressure for me not to call out someone for their stupidity. Especially when their stupidity affects my life, at least I need to have the right to complain and stand up for myself a little, you know? And dealing with this on a day to day, feeling restricted on my freedom of speech, that’s not what I signed up for. As a result of all this, whenever I go back home after my shift, I feel like it’s my first day out of prison. Whenever I get to work I have my eyes on the clock. As soon as my shift ends I want to get out of here. I wouldn’t even want to stay if they offered me 3 times more than my salary. As a result, after noticing all of this about my work life, I feel depressed. Let me also add the fact that I spoke to people who worked at different jobs (including walmart) about what to expect as a 9-5 worker, but still, part of me didn't want to believe what they told me. Because I always believed life has to offer us a lot more and we need to take as much as we can. That's just how I feel. Starting this journey of 'living life' is really hard for me and I'm starting to lose hope and change my view as to what life should be, or if we want to be more accurate, what life already is. I mean I don't even know if I expressed myself properly, I just wanted to have a little therapy session online while I'm going home because I had a lot to get off my chest. Anyway, thanks for reading, and good luck
