Thank you for taking the time to leave us with this review. A long term career is what most associates look for when wanting to join our team here, and that is what most of them are able to get! We have worked to create a truly inclusive workplace where everyone is treated fairly and everyone gets equal opportunities. If you have more feedback you would like to discuss in detail, please contact me. - Becky S.

Pros

The company policies are really good. They compensate the associates quite well. Reimbursements for travelling, phone, WiFi etc are given. The working hours are quite flexible and completely varies from team to team. The food is simply awesome.

Cons

You can't change your team within 18 months of joining the company. The teams are also assigned randomly. The work is not really the best and most of the people who have experience in working in Walmart are mediocre at best. Their yearly reviews are a joke and a strict policy of enforced bell curve is followed. So, you will see people not at all working getting higher ratings than those who are doing really good job, all in accordance with the team. The hiring is on an insane level and the company is really over crowded. It's really difficult to shine in such a large crowd.

Thank you for the effort of writing this detailed review. We are sorry to hear your experience has been less than optimal as an associate. We are constantly striving to improve our processes so that they are appropriate and fair. Growth is a need of the hour for our business and our goal is to maintain our high bar as we continue along this trajectory. While the increasing number of associates on the floor can be a little startling, it also provides everyone with increased number of opportunities to grow in their career as well. In addition to multiple training opportunities, Walmart associates are strongly encouraged to upskill themselves through the numerous online trainings available to them. Be sure to bring your concerns to your manager and have them addressed. All the best for a wonderful career ahead.

Thank you for providing us with this feedback. I am glad to see you felt our pay is competitive and the benefits were an asset to you. I am disheartened to see you feel there is a lack of growth opportunities, poor management and low morale. Morale is a topic that is always top of mind to us as we believe that you should enjoy what you are doing while doing it. I personally believe having a well-defined career path is a key motivator for most who are looking to stay and invest in a company long term. I would be happy to talk through your personal career path with you if you are interested and gather more details around your feedback. Please don’t hesitate to reach out so we can set up a time to chat. - Becky S.
