Well, it's all relative.  If you've been picking beans for pennies a day your entire life, working for Walmart doesn't look so bad.  And most retail outlets will require employees to work at least one weekend day... so long as the store is actually open on the weekends.  \n\nI worked for Walmart for a while.  The pay sucked, I had to work crappy shifts and I didn't get many benefits or time-off.  But as a high-school kid with barely any work experience, I also had yet to do anything to deserve better.

Contact your local Wal-Mart Store Manager.\n\nSell the Manager on your product, and he/she will get you in-touch with the right people.\n\nGood Luck

I don't think the problem is that people think Walmart is bad for the country in general, but more on a local level. In my area there has been opposition to new Walmarts based upon how it will affect the traffic flow and congestion in the area. \nThe old argument that they will put "downtowns" and smaller local businesses out is I believe a foregone conclusion. Most downtowns have eroded years ago, and  the local businesses have been replaced by national chains, and they're in malls.\nOne of the biggest problems has been that Walmart becomes a major employer in their area, and that the employees were being shorted in benefits, hours and pay, but those issues are being addressed.

Manipulating IS managing.\n\nAnd complaining, although irritating, is the default status for most employees. \n\nYou know the company is dying when the employees are all hushed up in the corner like frightened little bunny rabbits.

Walmart is truly an equal opportunity employer.  They hire all faiths, colors, cultures, the handicapped, the aged.\n\nMany other "equal opportunity employers" pick and choose who is equal in their own minds.

To be honest, most low-income people don't know the whole story about Wal-Mart. However, a lot of them have worked there, along with myself, and most of us will tell you that company is scum. Their low prices are designed to do nothing but monopolize an entire region's shopping. My manager even told us his aim was to eliminate the rival grocery store. This chain should go to court for predatory pricing. The supermarkets Wal-Mart have are extremely basic, and I prefer the local rival Meijer over it anyday. The good news is that there are stores like Sav-A-Lot and Aldi that you can shop at instead of Wal-Mart. I had the worst employment experience ever in my life at Wal-Mart, management did nothing but spy on employees with their billion and one cameras and harass us for even talking with the coworkers in our department and customers! This store has some weird religious agenda too that supercedes profits...they pay $1 extra an hour on Sundays for employees working that day, even though they screw them everywhere else. Weird place, never work or shop there.

Walmart is the devil!\nThey drive many American businesses out of business... because their "price rollback" means they can't make enough money on their products. So these business move to another country or just shut down their doors.\nAlso, walmart is horrible to their employees - health care? what's that? and, a friend of mine was kept at 37.5 hours (or something) a week, 1/2 hour shy of full time, just so they wouldnt have to give her health care.\nWalmart is the DEVIL!

Generally, it's the study of personnel management applications.  Employee hiring, firing and management.  Mostly larger companies employ "Human Resource Managers" and staff to handle prospective employees, staff assignment and discipline.  Also important are safe working conditions, Americans with Disabilities Acts and compliance, and OSHA (Occupational Safety)

Without further details, perhaps The National Labor relations Board would be a starting point:\nhttp://www.nlrb.gov/nlrb/home/default.asp

Not much. I live within 30 miles of the Wal-Mart HQ. Wal-Mart pretty much controls the companies, not the other way around.

I'm a former Wal Mart employee. I think the company needs to more for its workers. For example, they don't offer vision insurance, yet the newer stores have optomitrists in them. They also need to make the overall insurance cheaper. I found that most people who work there for the insurance can't afford anything else. Finally, they need to offer a bigger discount, like 25%.

Walmart has been involved in so many scandals and pay their employees squat. They were recently to have been found hiring illegals.\n\nMost of Thier stuff is crap and is made in China. Walmart wanted the Chinese to make a pay cut and you know what they make!!\n\nPlus it is what is called a dollar drought. They come in, hire people at minimum wage, provide few jobs, have a terrible impact on local communities. None of their money stays in your town, it all goes somewhere else and you can't use it. You town suffers, property taxes go up and your Main Street looks like a ghost down!\n\nIn a word. They suck!

I think it is because customer service oriented jobs are being performed by the couch potato generation.  They think they are doing us a favor by being there.  Labor laws protect the employee but not the employer.  It is hard to weed out the individuals that are lazy.  It's not like the days when somebody could be fired on the spot.  Now there is so much red tape to terminate somebody.  I feel your pain though.  I have a hard time having to bag my own groceries after putting in a ten hour day!  I voice my opinion by making a copy of my receipt and mailing it to the business owner or manager with my complaint.  This way; they know exactly who the individual was, what time and date the incident occurred, and what my issues were.  Most of the time I get a letter explaining that the problem is being addressed.  Sometimes, the individual puts two and two together and is much more pleasant to me the next time I pay the place of business a visit.
