To whom it may concern,

I would like to give feedback on the current at . I was called into an interview at the Burbank location, and was offered a part as a that I was very excited to receive. I had stated on my application and verbally that I have a position, and that my availability was in the evening, and anytime on the weekends. When I had finished filling out my , and was told I had the job, the said that was everyday from 10-7 for a week or more at times and there was no during this time. I don't understand how can require this from people who apply for . Most people applying for these positions are in school, work another job, have personal obligations like family, and children, and so forth. I was very disappointed to receive the position that I had hoped for, only to have to give it up due to the strict .

Anon19375: I know what you mean about those questions. Thankfully there was only one person there when I interviewed, but I was incredibly nervous. It is ridiculous how they ask the questions! I had two interviews on the same day, then signed papers for the background check and went to take the drug test. Now I am just waiting for a call.

I don't know why you all continue to lecture this person. She is in the wrong, but if she did not understand this three years ago when she wrote this review and if she does not understand this now what makes you sure she will every understand that she is in the wrong here?

You do not deserve the job, and with your attitude you will not find any job. If you cannot make it to orientation how are they to know you will not blow off work. GROW UP, the world does not revolve around you. If you want the job that bad you make arrangements. You don't get to choose when to work. They do.

I woke up this morning early and decided to go to school like 4 hours before class started because I had some work I really needed to get on top of. I got there at 10 and looked at my phone and noticed a missed call and a voicemail. It was walmart telling me to call back about a job. I did and she was like "Hi Karlee, Kyle referred your application and i was calling to see if you would like to interview for a job in the meat department. I said sure and she was like great can you come like...now. I said sure i am right down the road and can be there in 5.
All I was thinking was *** *** *** *** wtf, why would she call last minute like that, meanwhile im in my royal blue scrubs looking like a dork.I got there and she gave me my application and told me to initial and sign it. I was like ok and I am so sorry about what I am wearing because when I got the call I was at school right down the road and came straight here. She said oh its fine and its actually better then what a lot of people come in here looking like. I then had a sigh of relief almost.then she dropped the bomb,she said we do our interviews a little different here, it is a panel of 3 people in there including me and we all ask you questions. She said but dont be nervous a lot of people are and i was like toooo lateeeee.
And of course I am super ADD (diagnosed and all) so my memory is just not there like everyone else's is. The questions were like she gives you a situation and asks you like 6 questions... Show more

I apply the form and check mark on the date/time which I can fit that day for work. I got an interview and they offered me for work from six pm to ten pm from Monday to Saturday. I realized that date and time won't fit for me, because I have college class in the morning and free time is in the afternoon, then why they want me to work evening hours and Saturday night? My girlfriend hate that hours and no time for date for us. She said drop that and forgot that! My manager said final offer and no change. I walked away from that store and never come back.

I think management at Walmart's in almost every department in every state need to be checked out. I think that complaint forms need to be made available every paycheck by employees without fear of any flack. My son had a heart condition and they changed jobs for him but then he ended up going from the tire place to loading and unloading trucks and was ridiculed by workers when he wanted to work and not drink or smoke on the job. I am so sick of this kind of ***. Not the only complaint I have there are several more but they all have lawyers and are being taken care of. When people are hard workers why would be mess with their livliehoods. If this is a serious site than stop making silly comment like the one above. When my son was hired they knew about his condition and should have made any kind of accomadations for him. When he complained to the management the manager actually called him a puss. What kind of *** is that? Now they are all being investigated but it is a little late and my son has to worry about how he will keep a roof over his daughter's head and how he will pay for his medical bills.

That is absurd... You can't hire someone and schedule them for times they are NOT available!!! Why did they even hire you in the first place if they KNEW you had a full time day job, and wouldn't be able to attend the mandatory NON FLEXIBLE orientation. That is ridiculous. You should report that to their union, I'm sure they are not allowed to schedule workers for times they have stated from the beginning they will not be available.

PS- I recently learned Tasha is still a kid. I thought she was just a very unreasonable adult. Since then I have just been ignoring/not reading her comments, and it's been much easier. Can't expect an emotionally unstable youth to use logic or reason.

"Why call them in if they...have conflicting schedules, or whatever the case may be. Like everyone knows, there are people in line behind them waiting for that same job...This all just seems like common sense...."

This was Muffypuff's point. It makes common sense to me too. The time wasted in interviewing someone that would not be available for orientation could have been used in choosing someone whose hours fit and really needed a job. The store may have been taking a gamble in hoping that you would adjust your schedule for the orientation after finding out that you were hired. However, you probably would have appreciated knowing these orientation hours before taking time off your day job to get to an interview that was going to cause you to have to take more time off from your day job to do the orientation. I think anyone would agree that putting your day job in jeopardy for an evening job is not smart. It was one thing to make sacrifices for the interview, but a whole week for an orientation. I don't see how that would have worked unless you have a VERY understanding boss and even then it may not be wise given the job market today. No one wants to give their boss a reason to let them go, and missing days at work would have been a red flag. Your hirees should appreciate that you offer them more flexibility with orientation hours. I think a great many people commented negatively because they may feel that you should have been happy to get offered a... Show more

Seriously, it's like surreal performance art. I think it's also indicative of how the internet can be a very bad thing. This person aired a grievance and was called a two year old? What is wrong with you people? It's not his/her fault you're too lazy to read what was written.
