How does Walmart treat its workers?

Answer 1

Walmart treats it's workers much like any other multi-national retail business, usually low starting wages, part-time hours (Walmart has a strict policy of scheduling employees so they never have to pay overtime, this leads to more issues such as requiring employees to clock out early if they had to stay over on a previous day).

Due to the low wages, much of Walmart's management is not what would be considered 'the cream of the crop', which is one reason Walmart has such a high employee turnover rate (At any given Walmart store, on average by the end of one year over 50% of the employees will have left the company), this in turn leads to employee mismanagement and low employee moral.

Statistically, for example, the average Customer Service employee at Walmart makes up to a dollar less per hour than a Target store employee.

The average Department Supervisor at Walmart makes up to 10% less than the same position at a Target store.

Overall, it is much like any other company, you are expected to be at work on time, you are expected to clock out for lunch and breaks on time, and you are expected to remain busy always.
