Walmart & Sam's Club

Supply Chain Intern

June - August 2020 • San Bruno, CA

What I liked

Everything about Walmart was amazing. The way they included their interns in all events and then how everyone went out of their ways to help each other! I even got a chance to talk to the CEO Doug Macmillan 1:1 to play family feud game. The whole experience was amazing!

What I wish was different

I wish COVID did not happen and I wish I got a chance to go to the office and attend the internship in person.

Advice

Definitely take the risk of doing things it only makes you stronger! Never feel scared to ask questions as you never know what mark are you making on whom.

What I liked

I like the managers who watch out for me, and the co-workers who are always willing to help when you need it. The relationships I’ve built with management have made working there quite easy.

What I wish was different

I wish that certain people in management people learn to step up past their own feelings towards individuals and act like the leaders they are suppose to be. I rather them act like a leader than a child that does not get their way because someone does not like them.

Advice

You need to have tough skin when it comes to this kind of position. Sadly, you will be mentally abused by these customers when they do not get their way. But that is how it is with every job. Be ready to find information on your own sometimes because people don’t know the answer.

April 2020 • Hudson, NY

What I liked

I loved the hours and flexibility given. They are understanding and patient when it comes to this and I think that is something important to have at a job! I also loved working with some of my coworkers!

What I wish was different

I wish the training was different. I think their training isn't efficient. If I weren't a cashier at my previous job, I would definitely have a hard time since their training wasn't great. I also notice other new cashiers struggling and it shows the training they do isn't efficient. I also think the CSMs should be around the cashiers more often. Sometimes a problem arises and we need them in order to continue and they are nowhere to be found. It really slows everything down and customers get frustrated.

Advice

I would say don't be too hard on yourself if you don't get things down right away. It takes time and don't forget to have patience. There are many times where you will run into angry and frustrated customers. If you stay calm you'll get through the day.

Customer Success Associate (Wholesale and Manufacturing)

May - July 2020 • Rexburg, ID

What I liked

It was full time work in the garden center, so my job was tending to plants and helping (mainly) old people plant their gardens during the virus.

What I wish was different

Some of my coworkers gathered to gossip and avoid work, which I wish was different.

Advice

Wear comfortable shoes!! The floor is made of concrete, so being on your feel for 8 hours can be taxing! Wear good shoes with cushion so you're not sore!

June - August 2020 • Noblesville, IN

What I liked

The coworkers were really nice and helpful during training and making sure I knew what was going on.

What I wish was different

The managers did not know everyone's schedules as much as the workers themselves and did not interact with us or listen to us as much as the workers would have liked. We ended up managing our own break times and lunches to make sure there were enough workers and that there were enough workers even if someone was 20 minutes late. The managers also put us on edge because they were all trying to please the main boss, but since they weren't managing us, they couldn't do very well.

Advice

If your managers aren't doing a good job, do a better job than them, and then do their job. That way when you bring up issues with the manager they will understand how good of a worker you are and can do multiple positions.
