- Written Up Unfairly For “Altered Checks”I worked for 3 1/2 years at customer service. I was frequently told to cash checks from CSS and management; they never initialed on them most of the time. I would still get written up for having “altered checks”. You could argue the policy all you want, but you would get yelled at by CSS or management. | Read More

- The Effects of Wal-Mart’s ‘Family First’ PolicyI worked for Wal-Mart about 15 years ago… part time to supplement our income when my three girls were small. It seemed a perfect fit; [the store] was located close to home and we supported Wal-Mart with much of our shopping (diapers, kids’ clothes, toiletries, etc). When Wal-Mart came to town they paid just slightly better than other retailers and they were sought after by many as an employer. During the holiday rush, one of my girls became ill with a flu that nearly hospitalized her. | Read More
- Managers Messed With The Time Clock, Allowed Dust Problem In Store To ContinueI am a former Wal-Mart employee. I worked for Wal-Mart for 7 ½ years as an overnight stocker with a final hourly wage of $12.32. My 40 cent/hour yearly raise didn’t even come close to covering the increases in cost of living and health insurance and gasoline and heating oil. Every year it seemed they wanted us to work harder and harder and more shorthanded all the time for less money. | Read More
