From the very first contact I received from them, it has been such a nightmare! Just trying to reach the person in charge of hiring (who left me the message) was almost impossible (which she informed me at my interview she does not have a special ext # or other contact # or, a way to leave her a message, nor did she ever display her schedule so one could at least know when she'd be at the store. I am 57 years old and, I can tell you, getting a part-time job at Walmart has been the most stressful and down right confusing experience of my life! I applied at the Raymore/Belton Walmart (amongst other places) in October, hoping for just a part-time job to go with my full time job, to make a little extra money. But in all actuality, the worst customer of all could theoretically walk into any establishment on the planet, and contribute a "bad rep" to the companies face and name. A lot of people like to knock a company just because the people that shop there are not up to par, so to speak.

You will deal with great customers, and you will deal with the unruly ones as well. Additionally, the consumers in your specific area will also play a huge rule in the type of environment you will be working in, as this is a retail/customer service based employment. This can effect your quality of living so to speak while at your job. Now with all entry level jobs, you can only assume, and for good reason, that you will be working with others, and for others, that may not share the same high values and work ethics that you may share in regards to to working for any given company. Because Wal-Mart is so large, they are able to offer employment to a large amount of the communities they are built into, which is a plus. A corporate run company, offering entry level jobs for people of all backgrounds. I must say that, this place is what it is. Once, as a regular night time associate, and the other as a department manager on day shift. I have worked at Wal-Mart on two seperate occasions, totaling 5 years with the company. Wal-Mart is one of those companies that will get beat on day in and day out by previous employees who have worked there.
