i have worked at 3 wal marts before. i worked there for 2 years in college, part time for a while after i graduated, and at another one when i was between REAL jobs.

so what if they offer insurance to part time workers. if you work 20 hours a week and make $6/hour u might just decide to not get the insurance so u can keep more of what little money you make. wal-mart is big about getting into your mental and making you beleive it's a great place to work. when they have meetings they do the wal mart cheer and shit like that.

they do have the employee stock plan where you can buy wal mart stock thru payroll deductions. they have a retirement plan, 401k and so on, but how much shit can you take out of your check if u ain't makin no money. i remember working at wal mart for 5.50/hr reading about them breaking the $100 bilion mark for the first time, and going outside when it was 100+ degrees to round up them damn shopping carts.

it worked out for me when i was in college because they were flexible with my hours and just scheduled me around my school schedule. as somebody trying to survive tho, it's DEFINITELLY NOT a good place to work. pretty much unless you are a student, someone who is trying to suplement the breadwinner's income in your household, or someome who is just looking for a job becasue you have nothing better to do with your time it's not the place to be.

the only good thing i can say about my expereince working at walmart is that with that experience i can almost always find a job in retail when things get tight. that's what i'm doing right now. having worked at wal mart makes it easier to get a job at most any store, but retail in general doesn't pay very well until you start getting into management.
