Hey, was wondering if anyone here works at Walmart or has in the past. The reason i ask is because havent been able to find a job for almost a year and they called me earlier today to set up a interview.So i was curious to see if someone could tell me how thier pay is and just how the company is in general since i will be keeping this job for a while lots of bill's to pay off and can't afford to go another year with no work. So any info would be much appreciated.

I have heard the pay isn't too good, but if you buy products from walmart on a weekly basis, then it could turn out being a good job if you need to pay the bills.

If you've ever shopped there you can tell its not a fun place to be by the looks on their faces and their attitudes.

..its a start but dont settle for that.

The pay and benefits are some of the worst in the civilized world, plus they generally treat their workers like ****. It would be a good start, but after 3-6 months I'd start shopping around my resume for another job.

WHY DO PEOPLE GET TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS :evil:!!!

People think it is cool to have a tattoo when their young, but now many people I know who got tattoos now regret them because it is hard to get a well paying job. When you go in for an interview, try to somehow cover any tattoos you have, because interviewers first impressions are their looks, and if you look like a criminal, then they will tend not to hire you.

Take the job, and then once you put in a good chunk of time (at least 3-6 months) start looking for another job. Wal-Mart isn't a great place to work, but if you put in enough effort a place with as many employees and as high a turnoverrateas Wal Mart you'll be able to get a promotion pretty quickly, which would really help you get a job elsewhere.

Good :). I think it is alright if your tattoos are coverable. I have yet to figure out why people get tattoos on their hands:?. Hopefully I did not offend you, I just like to keep my body a clean canvas :D.

I say we put Target, Wal-Mart, KMart, and whatever other Mart-like store in a side by side benefits comparison. My money is on Wal Mart.

I've heard WalMart does not treat their employees very well...but it's up to you. I know of a girl that got hired, went in for her first day of work (a three month trial) and was told they no longer needed her and fired her right there without any forewarning, nothing.
