What It's like to Work in Walmart Retail

Walmart is the big boy of so-called discount shopping, their new logo is "Save money, live better." Millions of people across the globe are employed for the company, some at the corporate level and most in retail stores. So exactly what is the hiring process like when you apply to work for Walmart? You hear stories about it from different people, and some of the stories border on horrific. When talking to anyone who hasn't ever worked in such a store, you will get the impression that they believe anyone employed there is set up with a nice cushy well-paying position. However, if you talk to any past or present employees, you will find that they have a different opinion about what Walmart is all about. How fair and positive the work environment is, along with the skills and training you must acquire, as well as the stress and pay attribute to how good a job is and how worth it the job will be in the long run to your goals and desired lifestyle. I have worked for a Walmart on the southside in Paducah, KY, and I can tell you first-hand what it is like to be hired for a retail position at one of their stores.
