Stocker

June - August 2019 • Fremont, NE

I did work that made a difference and helped me feel that what I was doing mattered. I was exhausted at the end of each day, and I saw this as proof that I had done an honest day's work.

What I wish was different

I would have preferred to keep my hours. My work schedule was pretty meek at the end of the summer.

Advice

Be prepared to give it your all, and don't quit. They need more people for this position.

Cart Pusher

May - August 2019 • Monroe, NY

What I liked

Being out in the sun and earning a living through simple exercise and hard work

What I wish was different

Better management. The people who ran the store could not handle a lot of problems due to its size. There were employees who would smoke multiple times a day outside of the cart doors and continued to do so even after me and several other people complained. I also wish they didn't move my schedule around during the last month. I had the same solid shift until one day they started giving me the late shifts I hated. They never hired anyone else willing to do this job during the summer, and it's clear that the reason why was due to the poor management and attitude

Advice

Even doing grunt work can be rewarding if you are moving around a lot and get a tan during the summer. But big corporations tend to be poorly managed so choose who you work for carefully

What I liked

40 hours, real people dealing with real problems

What I wish was different

More employees to help, nicer upper management that understands the understaffed situation.

Advice

If you work too hard, the management will put all the weight on your shoulders trying to make you collapse.

Certified Pharmacy Technician

September 2015 • Plano, TX

What I liked

The opportunity to work with others in maintaining a steady ship in the world of retail pharmaceuticals.

What I wish was different

The increasingly prominent business aspect has become disheartening, emphasizing numbers and figures rather than genuine patient care.

Advice

Working at retail pharmacy has given me the ability to strengthen my communication skills and shown me the importance of collaboration. Patience is key, both with coworkers and customers.

I liked meeting my coworkers and learning a different perspective from what I have as a college student.

What I wish was different

I wasn’t a big fan of being a cashier. I would have been happier if I was a stocker.

Advice

Learn to smile and tolerate crazy people. When people are shopping they aren’t in the best mood, just try your best to understand the customers point of view.

Morning Baker

June - August 2019 • Colonial Heights, VA

What I liked

I liked that I was able to use what I learned in school and apply it to my first job within my major.

What I wish was different

I wished that I was told beforehand that I was going to be crossed trainer in the deli while I worked there. If I had know that beforehand I would have reconsidered the position because I just wanted bakery experience.

Advice

Don’t take this job if you aren’t a morning person and not willing to be cross trained in other departments.

April 2018 • Batavia, NY

What I liked

The people at my store are amazing. My department functions as one happy little family. We look out for each other, give advise, and praise each other when appropriate for anything in life.

What I wish was different

Sometimes management is very frustrating. I wish they would listen to the associates more, but management is a problem everywhere.

Advice

Check out your local Walmart if you need a job. They have received a lot of backlash in the media, but I love my job

Stocker

June 2019 • Woodstock, GA

What I liked

I like how flexible the employer is with my school schedule, even now they allow me to work with the night crew so I can still get 32-38 hours a week in 3 days.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more workers at the store, as working there with the amount of people we have right now can lead to difficult situations.

Advice

For people looking for an oppurtunity with Walmart, I suggest they be prepared to learn many things on the job, as it is a very hands on experience. The people I work with are very kind and willing to teach you as long as your willing to learn; overall, it is a great experience and I am glad I have the oppurtunity to work with this employer right now.
