Pros

• Easy work, heavily tech-influenced, to make it easy to focus on customer experience and loss/theft prevention. • Attendance was set in stone, simple and easy to understand. • Bar set low for shift tasks expected to be done.

Cons

• Thrown to wolves but nitpicked for winging situations. I wasn't told how to handle the "Walmart" way until after the issue was completed, usually with a "You're wrong" tone. • Cliques within the store determine your status, performance, and growth, regardless of work ethic and tasks completed. • Hired with a promise to switch to full-time and management training due to 10+ years of management experience. Never got more than 20 hours a week and forgot the management training was even mentioned. • Management was spread too thin, so they couldn't follow the book on what a lot of expectations were for the front end. When being evaluated or coached, it's hard to actually grow the way the company wants you to because they refuse to compromise in order to better fit employees.

Advice to Management

Don't hire too many people before quarter numbers need to be reported. Then, treat employees like expendable pawns that don't have bills and commitments to pay for. This is with the job promised to develop into management and full-time, due to an impressive resume and work ethic.
