How often do raises happen at Walmart?
Top di risposta dei dipendenti
This company is full of it! I've been there almost 13 years and barely making $13.00 an hour but now people are coming in and making more than I am! I liked it before when the yearly raises were at least .40, .50, and .60 but now u barely get a .25 raise and it really pisses me off! I work too hard for hardly any money, this is 2020 and barely making $750.00 every two weeks! Something needs to change in a BIG way! I also miss getting paid for Sundays and time and a half! I don't like that they take PTO time away for holiday pay like y'all are a billion dollar company and real stingy with your coins! Y'all need to fix this ASAP before you have no employees!
They count minimum wage increase as a raise... So after 6 years I make as much as the starting employees when I work twice as hard...
Started in 2019. And yet still no petty .24 cent raise. Worst company ever. And if a co worker has covid they will not inform anyone. I understand the privacy law but your at least supposed to to be notified you were exposed.
How common is it to switch departments or teams at Walmart?

Bunch of bs was hired as cashier and m doing something bs here m looking for better work hurry better job out there bs hereI am here right now c
Walmart will hire from outside instead of moving an existing employee 9 times out of 10 unless that employee is a favorite of management for whatever reason. If you don't play the yes man and brush off the blatant violations of the law and human rights, you'll never move anywhere. They will pigeonhole you with a friendly smile and feed you excuses ad nauseam.
easy if qualified and there is a position available
