What is it like working at Walmart?

 Note: Experiences differ from person to person. I was hired as a front end cashier during the summer of 2008. My interview process was very professional and gave me the opinion that I would be a valued employee within the company. I spent the first three days taking various different tests of knowledge about Hazards and Wastes; Alcohol and Tobacco Products; Blood Pathogens; etc. I spent the next seven days as a trainee. The first day I could only watch another Cashier and help bag, but afterwards I was allowed on the register. Initially I thought that I wouldn't like working at Wal-Mart. I was wrong. I won't lie though. I had open availability and asked to be full time from the very beginning; however, I rarely worked more than 32 hours per week unless it was around the holidays. Overall my management team and co-workers treated me well. It was the customers who could be a problem from time to time. I had to deal with getting cussed out and being yelled at on a regular basis.
