How common is it to switch departments or teams at Walmart?

It depends on the store manager, I'm a good employee, been there over 6 months, no call outs, never late, work over when needed, and constantly praised on performance throughout the store. I put in for an open position I wanted, no one else put in for it, the assistant manager and department manager have requested me for that department but the store manager refuses to transfer me, always has an excuse, all the while he has given transfers to others and the position remains vacant, I can fill in at times there but that is it. Needless to say I am looking elsewhere for employment.

Dept head asks assistant mgr for current employee to be sent to his dept to work daily. Told no employee on nights right now, sent another person. Not fair to employee, unbelievable so looking for another job I thought Walmart wanted to keep good employees not just Amy employee like 10 years ago! Guess I was wrong

As a cashier, I have been in my position for over a year trying to switch departments but have been denied every time. Looking for employment elsewhere because of this

If the manager/coach has a problem with you and you feel threatened or intimidated can you change shifts fast within a day or two to fix the problem

Do I have 3 days to switch from a position I don’t like to be able to go back to my old position?

People change all the time as they want the experience in different departments

Very common Walmarts turnover is really big

It depends on the associates status
