"Walmart is a billion dollar company. The compensation and work environment differ depending on the store manager. The manager at #1527, Elizabeth City, NC, is more generous than another store I have worked at. Walmart is a good temporary job for going to school for a professional position."
"I worked at Walmart for 2 years, in those years I was never made felt that I was an asset despite the many projects that my team and I accomplished, or how much I volunteered to help my superiors. I worked in two stores in two different states and that feeling was the same in both stores."
