yeah, the remodel team is totallly different. I have worked at
Wal-mart for a little over a year and in Grocery, its hard but keeps youbusy. It started off great but the management had gone down hill and they are trying to implement too many new things that Corporate says needs to be done NOW so we are totally in a screwed up mess. I am currently on my 4th department manager and our stores survey I am sure will not be good. Morale is low, too much work for too few people- my store grocery has all grocery, also candy department and all register items and clip strips hanging around the store (impulse items) I am often the only one there during the day as every other week my Dept manager is on overnight shift to reset shelf mods. We are remodeling the store in August....they say it will get better but I doubt it. We will see. Most dept managers in my store have stepped down from their positions and some others have been FORCED into taking more than one department or a differnet one than they have had all along.
But if they would straighten out the management issues, things would be better. Otherwise, I do enjoy the work and the pay and benefits are better than anything that I have had before.
LOL...how're you liking your routines? Do you have the electric "hub" yet??
Remodel team is completely different, are they going to keep you for another job after the remodeling is done in the store? Kudos on the new job! It is a blast to work with friends in the store, but the work can be hard, and VERY frustrating at times
Edit: If you do stay on for the Christmas rush, PLEASE take time for yourself. The stress level increases 10 fold and many associates lose their cool easily (everyone does at some point). So take some time to chillax and recoup yourself, whether it be on your days off or whenever you can at work. You are the most important thing. Try to make friends with your fellow associates, it will help you. It's kind of like having a big extended family, but you get paid to deal with them!
