What did I learn from my job? Though I have worked at Walmart for 3 Months. The job is great and sometimes fun with amazing people. Though these months I've experienced a lot of new skills, as, learning to socialize more, counting money, using cash registers, and more about how employees work together. This is helpful for me as it's beneficial to my future career. My manager and Team Leads are nice and are always helpful when I or other employees need help. I'm sure they are appreciated by all our hard work we put into our job.What is my goals? Lastly, what can I do to go above and beyond? I mainly have 2 goals. One of which is to hopefully learn more about the customer center as I think it's an interesting job. The second one is to get better memory to figure out why a thing isn't working on a register. A random one is to try out another position at Walmart. Lastly,I want to go above and beyond by doing my work and being hard-working throughout my time while I work at Walmart.#georgiawblworks #cherokeewbl

Was so sad to hear that Walmart is going back to the office and now hiring for in-office positions only again. If there is one large company I would work for in the ecommerce space, Walmart is it. They have made TREMENDOUS progress in the space and they have begun to prove to hundreds of thousands of third-party sellers that yes, there IS another option to grow your business online. THAT'S the team that I want to be a part of. After what that other company has done to my businesses and thus my family over the past decade, I want nothing more than to join their largest competitor to help them succeed. I mean, I am at banshee stage with this desire. I am at berserker level. Fanatic level. My family and my life, though, is firmly planted here in Charlotte. Wife has a long career here. Kids go to school here. There's 0 chance I could talk the family into giving up everything and move to New Jersey or the West Coast. I believe that many companies are going to go back to 100% in-office again. Luckily, there seems to be such an overwhelming flood of qualified people for any and every job posting that the odds of a candidate and a city match are good to excellent. Personally - and I don't like to brag - I am at 0 for 31 job applications for positions I am 100% qualified for and some even overqualified for. There are at least 200 applicants to every job. I am obviously doing something incredibly wrong in my search OR the job market is much, much stranger than it seems. Don't cry for me, though. I'm really, REALLY persistent. I don't give up easily and work hard at all times. That may be a trait of my generation, which is both a blessing and a curse in the job search. Oh Walmart.....what could have been.(sigh)#amazon #walmart #ecommerce

Today marks 16 years with Walmart, not a normal milestone but it has been half of my life! It’s been such an amazing ride that has almost come to end quite a few times over the years, and I can’t imagine what life would be like had that happened. There are a lot of friends that I have made over the years, a lot of people that I spent time in trenches with that I no longer talk with. There are a couple of things that they have left me with though:1.The reason we’re here is to support a life away from here. While I’m one of the biggest customer advocates you will find, every associate has a family, school, a vacation around the corner that they show up to support. Take interest in the reason that people work alongside you.2.The time that we spend here can either be the worst time and moments in our day/week/month, or it can be some of the best times we’ve had. Looking back, I realize that how I show up for the day dictates how the time progresses. I spent my entire 2 years as an Assistant Manager in the store answering the question “How are you?” with “Amazing”, and while they were some of the hardest times of my career, every second was amazing.3.The opportunities in life (for me that is at Walmart 😊) are endless and will never cease to surprise you. Through so many unforeseen circ*mstances I’m in my seat today. I happened to apply for a transfer to the wrong store in Colorado when moving from Wyoming and ended up meeting my wife at that wrong store. I applied for an Assistant Manager role at one of the toughest stores in Denver not realizing how tough it would be. That store ended up piloting Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery program (shoutout GHS crew!). I rolled the dice on travelling for work and missing my best friend’s wedding (she has since forgiven me) which lead me down the path of getting my first home office role. Opportunity almost always comes in the face of change and challenges, don’t ignore themIf you’re ever wondering if Walmart is a good place to work, This is That Place! Make the most of where you are at, own the role that you have, people notice and will show out for you.Tagging a few folks that have had a hand in shaping who I am and how I work today:Cassie Smith Marshall Deats Doug Lowe, MBA Sam Mullins Frank Grisby Ellen Deyoc Lisa Perez John Revill Monica Naegle Adam Elledge Adan Campos David Carr Jonece Hooper So many more that I'm know I missed!

Forbes reports that Walmart is rewriting job descriptions at its corporate headquarters, signaling a shift away from requiring a #collegedegree. Now, applicants can showcase skills through prior experience or alternative learning methods. This move places Walmart among the growing list of companies embracing 'skills-based hiring,' driven by #talentshortages, rising college costs, and a commitment to diversity.Check out this article to learn more 👇 #JenniferTardyConsulting #TeamJTC #WalmartCorporate #Forbes #SkillsBasedHiring #WalmartInnovation #DiversityandInclusion"

10 years at Walmart ☕️It hasn’t been what I expected, in the best ways possible. I’ve learned a few things along the way. Some from the scope of the roles, many from the individuals around me, and an even greater portion from falling on my face. Here are several that I’ve come to appreciate: 1. Decide and define the things that matter to you. Pursue them & protect them fiercely. 2. It’s you vs. you. Don’t compare your path to anyone else’s. We’re all on different journeys, fighting different battles, celebrating different victories. 3. Have convictions, but be open minded. 4. Who you work for can be a life changing decision/experience. 5. Be inquisitive. Ask questions when you don’t have the answers. We all know less than we should. 6. Be humble. We are where we are, in part, due to things apart from our own doing (luck, help from others, etc.).7. But go get what you deserve. It won’t be given to you. 8. Be discerning about who you ask advice from. When you do ask, chances are that you will get a response, whether or not the advisor is qualified or has your best interest in mind. 9. Trust and respect are fragile. Handle with care. 10. The way things are definitely aren’t the way they could be, and probably aren’t the way they should be. They’re just the way they are because it’s how far it’s come. There’s always opportunity to improve. 11. Scope > title & pay. Scope leads to experience and experience leads to skill. At the end of the day, what matters is whether or not you can do the thing that needs to get done. 12. Yes, there’s a lot that has to get done, but you don’t have to be the one do it all, and it doesn’t have to all be done now. 13. You have little control over what happens to you. You do have complete control over how you respond. Looking forward to being able to add to this list in the years to come 🍻.*For kicks, here’s a picture of me on Day 1, having woken up 3 hours late for orientation after driving through the night because I missed my flight to Bentonville.*

The retail job market is evolving, with some companies cutting jobs while others are in high demand. Walmart is leading the way by increasing compensation for their superstore managers, offering larger bonuses and stock awards, potentially totaling over $400,000 annually for top performers. Store managers oversee sizable teams and revenue streams, often advancing without college degrees. With the added responsibility of managing e-commerce orders, the role has become more complex. Walmart is addressing concerns about turnover by recruiting and training college graduates for managerial roles and increasing pay and bonus incentives. The new compensation structure includes automatic stock grants, with supercenter managers receiving higher grants compared to those at smaller-format stores.

Retail Today / Retail Renaissance: The Holiday/Xmas Season is weeks away, all the “big boys” have announced their plan to hire thousands of seasonal workers. Amazon, Walmart, Target, even Macy’s and hundreds of other small businesses will be putting on additional staff for this exciting holiday season. Normally they are part timers who supplement your existing staff and organizations. I’am a little confused since many companies have complained about the lack of availability of potential new hires. So how do you attract these valuable new employees? What incentives are available? Pay? Benefits? Holiday Discount? Potential full time position? Training? My gut tells me, we will start hearing that no one wants to work? As the attached article states, think about the Costco way, offer a potential career, not a job. #retail #holiday2023 #newhires #seasonaljobs #organisationaldevelopment #training #customerexperience #shoppingexperience #stores #retailtrends #retailindustry #retailstrategy #retailexperience #costco #amazon #walmart #target #macys

[No spoilers, and I won’t take someone else’s spotlight or post]One of the best things about being an Engineer at Walmart is working with some very talented people who are driven and have lots of opportunities. One of the difficult things about being an Engineer at Walmart is working with some very talented people who are driven and have lots of opportunities and when that drive means they take advantage of moving to other opportunities so they can continue to use their talents. The only thing that is constant is change, and we’ve had some changes in people and processes and I’m sure there’s more changes at some point. This a profession and it is great professional development and advancement, but it’s also a people business which means home team is always family.#walmart #engineers #changeisconstant #hometeam #family

My Walmart Interview Experience! 🙂 Many people have been asking me about my interview experience with Walmart, so I decided to share the journey. The interview process was a challenging yet immensely rewarding experience that spanned over two months. Each stage of the interview was meticulously designed to assess my skills, cultural fit, and passion for the role.#walmart #Interview #product #product #management #usecase #job #masters #walmartinterview #interviewexperience #productmanagement #business #supplychain #automation #innovation
