[QUOTE="walker, post: 1645797, member: 4359"] I'll bite. I have worked for Wal-Mart for over 12 years now. I am a home office field associate. I go from store to store through half of the state. Some stores have lousy managers and their attitude trickles down, some are still good. The whole company is under alot of pressure from saled being down because people just dont have the money to blow now days. The new operations director we have is trying to turn things around from what the last guy did. The last one came from Target and he is the one who had the shelves lowered and isles widened to make it look more open like target. That means you cant carry as many products that people are used to buying. Walmart is like a giant ocean liner, it takes alot of work to turn it around. Government regulations are killing us as well. We are forced to spend billions of dollars on energy saving schemes just to save a few million in energy costs. Its still a good company. We have given billions to charity and are the leader in retail and energy innovations. All the bad press the company gets for crappy insurance and low wages are from the OWS types that were lousy employees and needed to be fired. Nobody is going to start an uneducated checker at $10 bucks per hour, thats an entry level job, get real. The insurance ceartianly isnt what it used to be but nobodys is, its all gone up in price. I'm not a company man. i'm blue collar and try my best to just do my job and stay out of others buisness. If I found a better job I would take it, the fact is I havent. Walmart sells the products people need for an affordable price and they employ alot of poeople in all communities. Capatilism baby. [/QUOTE]
