Wal-Mart loses trademark on smiley face

March 28, 2008 7:54am

I am one of the many who used to work for Wal-Mart. When I signed on they said after 90 days that they would roll you over to full time status. That never happened. According to the higher ups who ran the store and according to company policy, full time meant anything over 35 hours. They claim to be family friendly but again that is not the case. I missed out on alot with my two boys because I had to work every weekend and odd hours during the week. And forget taking the day off if your child became sick! You were instructed if you wanted to keep your job find someone else to take care of them for the day. Not to mention the insurance policy. It's only offered to full time employees and good luck becoming one of them. When I hired on, they had said that they offered good pay and a pay raise after 90 days. I made $6.15 an hr and after 90 days that was bumped to $6.75. Needless to say I left in search of a better job. They don't keep promises, not to mention if someone in a higher up position(store manager) doesn't like you, you are given the option of quitting or being transfered. I am forced to shop there now because unfortunately Wal-Mart is the only game in town. It's sad that that is the way of things now. No one else could compete with them so they had to close up shop.

No friends yet.
