Captcha,
Not sure how illegal immigration affects Walmart, you’re wrong if you’re ascerting Walmart hires illegal immigrants. Walmart requires all associates to provide required I-9 documents proving they have a legal right to work in the US within 72 of being hired or else they are terminated. Walmart associates are also eligible for benefits after a period of time as well, and like most of us they have to pay into that program in order to get them. There are some terrifically affordable plans out there now for Walmart associates.
I know, I work for Walmart…and the Oceanside Supercenter is the future of Walmart in California. Whether you shop there or not, whether you like Walmart or not, you save money because of Walmart’s enormous impact on the retail competitive market.

October 26, 2009 at 10:02 PM #473899Allan from FallbrookParticipantT4L: I don’t mean to be overly personal, but how long have you worked for Walmart and in what capacity? I ask for a couple of reasons: (1) I don’t know anybody who works for Walmart and that makes you something of an expert (so to speak) and (2) You hear a lot of stories going both ways about Walmart and Walmart’s impact on unions, retail, prices, etc.
I avoided Walmart like the plague for many years and largely because I didn’t approve of their stance on unionization. While I’m against unions personally, I think organizations that try to suppress unions are wrong and that workers have a right to unionize, if they so choose.
I had also heard stories about discrimination against female employees and wage/labor violations, such as failing to pay overtime.
I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on this subject.

send me your e-mail address and I’ll give you the straight scoop, won’t do it in a public forum though. Overall, I think the pendulum swings both ways and like any large organization, Walmart tends to overcompensate in the name of avoiding lawsuits. There is probably better opportunity for women in this company than most, I know at least two women who in the last year were promoted to officer positions in the company. Many women store managers as well.
I won’t disclose my position here, but I am a salaried associate at Walmart and I’ve been with the company for about a year. If you’ve ever seen CNBC’s “Age of Walmart” and “The New Age of Walmart” (available online) it paints a fairly accurate picture of the Walmart environment.
