This might of changed since way back when i used to pay there, but they used to start out your pay a dollar over minium wage with a 5 cent raise withing 2 months, and a raise a quarter a year after that. Not great, but not awful compaired to other like retailers. |
The real killer is the lack of hours they give to most of their employees. They would rather have more part-time than full-time employees.
"Wal-Mart says that "Wal-Mart's 'full time' status begins at 34 hours per week, not 28, for associates hired after 2002." Before 2002, however, Wal-Mart's definition of full-time WAS 28 hours per week, and was raised in 2002 to 34 hours per week in order to raise the bar for healthcare eligibility for their employees - as the raise in hours coincided with the increase in eligibility requirements for healthcare."
"5. Capture savings from current initiatives to improve labor productivity. These initiatives include reducing the number of labor hours per store, increasing the percentage of part-time Associates in stores, and increasing the number of hours per Associate."

It is easy to see what Walmart's real thoughts are towards their own employees by looking through the facts from the Walmart documentary. Everyone knows in the USA that full-time is 40 hours and any company stating otherwise obviously is looking to short change their workers.
