I think if Walmart’s 1.5 million US associates were affected by the 12% unemployment rate, we’d be in even a worse mess. I have 500-600 people apply for every vacant job we post. We are not the problem, Captcha…

I think the quote by Lee Scott, former CEO of Walmart spoke best to this when he said “Out of 4,000 stores there are some knuckle-headed store managers who do things the wrong way. When we find out about it, we fix it” (paraphrased).

I think Walmart has changed with the times and certainly is not practicing the same archaic personnel policies that got them a bad reputation. I think that a large part of that was how store manager’s bonus pay was calculated, it encouraged them to cheat people. It has been altered now to include other factors. I think overall there’s just a better breed of manager coming into the company, we now have pick of the best with the recession going on.

FYI our average hourly wage in CA is north of $11 and MANY hourly associates in our stores earn much more than that. We also have many associates who are 10,15,20-35 years with the company. Walmart has made many of those “lower” paid associates MILLIONAIRES with the company’s stock purchase plan. They have always shared their success with the associates.

I think if you go into a newly remodeled Walmart store you would probably change your opinion about the company.

allan from fallbrook,

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.
