Yes, I've worked for Walmart twice within the past 10 years and I absolutely hated it. The first time was from January 1996-July 1998. I didn't want to stay, but the reason I did was because I couldn't afford to quit. Plain and simple. I worked there for almost 3 years before I finally got fed up with their crap and said, "To heck with it!" and quit whether I could afford it or not. I had gotten so tired of the way that the associates were being treated that I couldn't take it any more and had to leave the company in the dust. The sad thing is, I had an evaluation on the same day that I quit and they were going to give me a .25 cent raise. It was the only evaluation that I had and would have been the ONLY raise that I would have gotten from them in the almost 3 years that I had worked there. Now, that's just sad!!

The second time I worked for Walmart was from September 2004-June 2005. I really didn't want to go back to work for such a horrible company again, but I had moved away from my hometown to a much smaller town and it was the only place that happened to hire me. Besides, I thought that since it had been such a long time since the last time I worked there that maybe it would be different. Boy, was I wrong! It was the same sorry company that I had worked for before it was just in a smaller town this time.

Walmart may have good prices and be a good place to shop, but your health and overall well being is more important than the stress and hardship that you have to go through while working for Walmart. It is NOT a good company to work for by all means and I would not recommend for anyone to apply for a job there. Heck, if I had a choice I wouldn't even shop there any more. But until a different retail store is built in my hometown ,hopefully that will be soon, I'll just have to deal with it. I don't like to shop there, but I do it anyway.

My husband works at Walmart and he says you have to be in your position 6 months before you can get moved and it also depends on your evaluation. And no he is not crazy about Walmart.
