Job Responsibilities
My main responsibilty is customer service and making sure I can
answer all the customers questions and find the product that
they are looking for if we have it. If we don't have it I try
to find a store/location that they can get the product. I also
zone(making sure the product is in the right spot and looking
nice), doing risers(making sure anything on the top shelf is
full down on the shelves that customers can reach), and putting
products that come in on a truck out on the floor and making
sure if the product is out that we can fill it from the back
room. I also cashier when they need help up at the front. You
need to be a people person to deal with many different kinds of
people and be polite.

Job Requirements
There is nothing that is required to do this job as requirements

Uppers
The best part of my job is that there are many stores in a small area and that
if you move you can always relocate. You can also be moved to a different store
for whatever reason you have.

Downers
Sometimes you get asked to do things from management and
sometimes the management is not on the same page so you do get
confused on what you should do or not do but you just need to
let them know what was expected of you from other management and
let them decide what you should do after that. Also you need to
let things roll off your back with some of the customers they
can be very rude at times and you just need to smile and
say "Have a nice day and Thank you for shopping at wal-mart"
|
Lifestyle
You have many hours that you could work at any time. They really try to work
with you on what you can do or not do. They do have a dress code in my area
which includes not wearing jeans but from what I hear that isn't in every area.
We also have company parties for many different holidays. You also have to wear a
smock that isn't that pretty looking but that is to let customers know that you
do work there.

Compensation
They normally start you off on at minimum wage whatever that is
in the state that you are working in and you get a 90 day
evaluation that raises your pay but then after that you get a
pay raise every year at your anniversary which is the day you
started. You do get to put some of your check in the stock
before taxes are taken out and you also get medical benefits.
You also can put a certain amount in a 401K whatever you would
like to do at each paycheck.
