Wal-Mart is an abusive place to work
I am an educated person with working experience in the law field. Once my contract was over in that field, I thought a change would be nice and I figured that I could work my way up to a fabulous career with the biggest and most impressive company in the world. BOY I WAS SO WRONG!!! After six gruesome years working for the biggest bully in the universe, I finally had my fill. My self esteem was so low. How many people do you know has had to go on sick leave because of a burnout? I was overworked. Wal-Mart asks the impossible. I had three departments to myself. No one to help me. When my evaluation came around, I considered myself lucky to get a full 10!
Over a six year period, I got $2 more in pay. Not only were we belittled by the customers, it also had to come from our supervisors as well. I once complained about the way I was treated and I was told not to, because they were the ones putting food on my table. And when I would try the open door method, everything would get worse. In 2007, I switched from department manager to loss prevention agent and I realized quick enough that my well being and safety weren’t worth the money nor the time. I was harassed so bad by the management that I got physically ill. I spoke to my immediate supervisor and the regional manager and they showed no concern. I am home now recuperating from my emotional experience that will take a very long time, if I ever do. It’s a very abusive place to work and shouldn’t be happening. I complained about the pay, but I don’t think any amount of money is worth being treated and spoken to like we’re less than nothing.
