Walmart

I get a paycheck.

Insurance is good for catastrophic accidents.

Work-life balance has gotten better.

Cost of living in the area is low.

Paycheck is not what it should be.

Base pay is low.

Annual increase is minimal, usually not even close to inflation.

Promotions are not based on merit; they are based on if direct management likes you and on diversity score. If you don't know what diversity score is, look up reverse discrimination.

Bonus is random and can never be over 80-85 percent based on new criteria. Before, this was listed as a selling point to make up for the below-average pay; now, it no longer makes up the gap.

Insurance is very expensive for preventative care. It really is only good for major accidents.

Work-life balance can be non-existent, depending on which team you are on.

Management never follows up on issues/concerns raised by associates.

Retention has become an issue in ISD. People are leaving like rats fleeing a sinking ship.

If you like to do the work yourself, go somewhere else. If you like managing contractors who do the work for you, come to Walmart ISD.
