Walmart Employee Reviews for Electronics Engineer

"I have worked for Walmart for a short time now. I was hired as "full time" which means I was guaranteed 34 to 40 hours per week. But when they cut hours, you are lucky to get 32 hours a week. The hours are all over the place and you are always going to management to have your schedule fixed. The favoritism and politics in that place are grating. The management is either too young, too abrasive, or completely unqualified. An example - my partner is a CSM and his assistant manager told him he needed to go into the office and "rip a cashier's head off" for wearing a sweater that violated dress code. The people above you from direct supervisors all the way up to salaried management like to assert their authority in EVERYTHING - they want you to know exactly where you stand. Everyone is on their own page and wants to run things the way they feel fit. It isn't uncommon to be told how to do something 10 different ways by 10 different people in one day. I work with some pretty awesome people, and my department manager is supportive and fun to work with. It is not a HORRIBLE company to work with, but their management structure leaves a lot to be desired. The pay is decent (depending on your department and experience), hours are not bad, but you have to be flexible or you'll find your hours cut devastatingly low."
