Walmart Employee Reviews for Bakery Associate

What do you like about working at Walmart?

"I loved working with the customers and I loved that so many co-workers were so accepting."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Pay more attention to the potential associate's demeanor. There are WAY too many lazy bums around Walmart. Maybe give them a day on the job before actually hiring them for good, don't wait 6 months before firing the bums."

What don't you like about working at Walmart?

"Everything. Managers were downright cruel if they didn't like you. There weren't enough tools to go around and everyone always fought over them. The departments were put up against each other and yet the managers expected us all to work together. They dumped massive amounts of work on certain people while others got to leave without ever breaking a sweat."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would make sure the employee's voices were ACTUALLY heard and not make them spend months just trying to get someone to listen. Every department should always have a manager on duty so that the closing workers aren't being given directions and discipline by people who don't ever see them or the work they do. Also telling each department how much money they made each week doesn't help the company to work together. It makes everyone so competitive that they aren't willing to help each other out when they need it. And the pay grade system is wrong too. Everyone knows the basic pay grade for each department. And if someone is made to work for a couple days in a department that has a higher pay grade than their own it upsets them and makes them hate work because everyone in the department they're in is getting paid more than they are and they know it."
