Culture is the foundation of everything we do at Walmart. It’s how we deliver superior customer service, create a great frontline work environment and improve performance in order to achieve our common purpose of saving people money so they can live better. The Walmart culture is one of high performance, and it is how we live out our values. Each of our four values – Service to the Customer, Respect for the Individual, Strive for Excellence and Act with Integrity – has a set of three corresponding behaviors that, when practiced daily by every associate, can help us deliver business results and create a culture of inclusion.

Asked to all employees at Walmart

  • Could be better, especially at the assistant manager level

  • Walmart is severely understaffed. The management teams expects you to do the job of 3 people during your shift. They also expect you to stay later, come in early, or give up your day off to meet the needs of the company. But you can't go over 40 hours so you'll have to take 3 hour lunches to save their payroll.
