WTF?! Walmart Orientation is 9.5 hours?!

[MBSowards]

Why in the world do I have to be at orientation for 9.5 hours? At walmart do you get two 15s and an hour for lunch? WTF? 9.5 hours? Here's how you hit the cash register button and here's how you...wait...9.25 hours later...here's how you smile to the customer.

Should have been a greeter

I told you to get a job @ a VS on even a GNC...

I bet their orientation is exciting. Here's how you staple the bag together and point towards the customer service desk. Don't forget to say, "Welcome to walmart" when the customer comes in AND "Thanks for coming to walmart." when the customer leaves.

That would take more time than explaining to me how to be a cashier.

1) Scan item.
2) Bag item.
3) Press button in relation to payment type.
4) Repeat.

The manager of the GNC doesn't like me because I like Redline's better than Spike shooters.

I disagree. Orientation would be shorter because most of the people in it would be so old that they wouldnt be able to remember 9.5 hours ago.

You get overtime for 9.5 hours???

[MBSowards]

You get overtime for 9.5 hours???

I doubt it. My guess is it's 8 hours work with two nonpaid breaks and a long lunch?

Walmart = teh suck


Target FTW!

[An Inconvenient Bro]

every time I have ever visited a wal mart (no lie) I have never once been greeted upon entering

I feel ripped off

Overtime is over 40 hours in a week, not 8 hours in a day.

The Target around here gets terrible reviews for having awful management.

Come to my Walmart (bring UP 2.0) and I will greet you (and take the UP 2.0)

Overtime is over 40 hours in a week, not 8 hours in a day.

I got overtime when I worked at Kroger for over 40 in a week or for over 8 in a day.

I like Spike Shooter better personally. It helped me make a drive from Colorado to Texas in 2 days. I wish they sold it at the kwik e marts here in texas...

I'm not surprised. I work for Walmart and my orientation was scheduled for that amount of time. It probably won't last that long though. Basically you get info on company policy, medical benefits, etc. If I remember right you get snacks and breaks. You might even get pizza if they do it 9 hours straight.

The normal spike shooter was good, the lime was nasty, the new Spike Shotgun (like Redline Xtreme with BA in it) was orange flavored and it was alright.

That doesn't sound too bad, and is pretty much what I expected. Would be cool to get to leave early. Is orientation paid, and also, how do you like WM?

This is true, but Walmart is subject to the federal regulations, which states 40 hours in a week.

I got overtime when I worked at Kroger for over 40 in a week or for over 8 in a day.

That's a company choice then, one I would be seriously surprised if Walmart extended to their employees.

You are saying Walmart doesn't treat their employees like good bros?

Same here, WTF

I cannot speak from experience, but from what I have read and heard, some of the stores have less than stellar employee/employer relationships.

You do get paid, and pretty much everyone I've spoken to says they got done early.

I don't mind it, but then again I don't work in a store. I'm at one of the distribution centers. They pay a little better

I've got a buddy who stocks the dairy products on the night shift at WM. He said it's the easiest job he's ever had and the benefits are great

Lol, that's WV for ya. That's the only place I have ever seen a Shoney's still in business

They need to teach you how to treat customers, and not complain when they give you just enough hours not to qualify for their health benefit packages.
