Working at Wal-mart

I'm a customer but know a few workers at Wal-Marts
One on-line friend of mine used to work the self scan check-out aisle.
As I have been working in the food industry, fast-food, pizza, and so on, I know what it's like dealing with customers.
There are always those who look at places like fast-food and Wal-Mart and see the workers there as lesser then them. They would never work at a Wal-Mart. But they have no problem with going there to shop.
For the most part, every associate at Wal-Mart was helpful and given the chance would give you a smile and some good advice. I understand it's not like a high end clothes store, or an auto parts store, where you have experts and people who have made that their career. Most work to support a family. As long as they get the respect they deserve as a human being, they give the respect in return.
I like Wal-Mart, and like that I can get the great Wal-Mart prices on everything I use around the house. I like the Wal-Mart people and respect them for the job they are doing.

i worked in a big box store for a few years when i got out of highschool and while i really liked it, i found it so boring when the store wasnt busy! i am definitely a people person, so i got along all right. now i work in an office.

Hello awaha. There is no Wal-mart in my small town, but I have been to one that is located in another big city in my province, Zhejiang. It is in the suburb of Ninbo City. It is a huge Wal-mart, located somewhere out of the city, in a small town. I enjoyed myself there and found that most of the things there are cheap. I have also been to another Wal-mart in Jinhua City, right in the city instead of in the suburb of this city. How I wish to have one in the town where I live and work.

I am glad that you enjoy your work there, as can be seen from your description. Enjoy yourself, dear friend.

I've been seriously thinking of applying at Wal-Mart. I LOVE people and helping them to have a good experience. I'm not ambitious, though, I really don't care about climbing the corporate ladder, just making a living and enjoying what I do.

Most of the employees at our local WM seem a big disgruntled, but that's almost everywhere you go in our town, unfortunately. So it may just be the people. We have a few really nice workers there and I just love them and make sure I get in their checkout line. Our town doesn't seem big on customer service and that's really a shame to me. I'm big on customer service and always have been.

Does Wal-Mart have good benefits for hourly employees? What can you tell me to convince me that WM would be a good place to work? I appreciate your input and advice.
