I have three neighbors who work for Walmart, all love their job; one
is a retired NYC detective, during the past five years he's been
steadly promoted, he's now regional head of security at Walmart, one
is an accountant, and one is a young person who works in their
warehouse driving a fork lift. They all say that Walmart's pay and
bennies are better than the same jobs at the competion, and all are
very happy with how they are treated. My neighbor who's head of
security says that those who are down on Walmart are those who have
been dismissed for cause, have a family member who has been dismissed
for cause, or don't shop Walmart because they were caught shop lifting
so are legally barred from the premises. I don't know of any company
that tolerates theft and/or druggies. Those who are most vociferous
about bashing Walmart and ranting about how they never shop there you
can bet your bippee that they did something illegal that prevents them
from working/shopping there.
