Lifestyle
I work a 7am - 4pm shift. I work evey weekend. Social events are held only at the store. Management at Wal Mart is mostly white eventhough the rank and file employees are mostly black. The feel at this particular location is that the store is "too black." The dress code is casual. Certain positions allow for blue jeans.
Compensation
Walmart has a good benefits package. I am disappointed that with the hospitalization plan they do not offer a hospital rider. I am still required to pay the 20% difference.
Advice to Jobseekers
This is a good place to gain entry level experience. Then move on elsewhere.
