What did I learn from my job? Though I have worked at Walmart for 3 Months. The job is great and sometimes fun with amazing people. Though these months I've experienced a lot of new skills, as, learning to socialize more, counting money, using cash registers, and more about how employees work together. This is helpful for me as it's beneficial to my future career. My manager and Team Leads are nice and are always helpful when I or other employees need help. I'm sure they are appreciated by all our hard work we put into our job.What is my goals? Lastly, what can I do to go above and beyond? I mainly have 2 goals. One of which is to hopefully learn more about the customer center as I think it's an interesting job. The second one is to get better memory to figure out why a thing isn't working on a register. A random one is to try out another position at Walmart. Lastly,I want to go above and beyond by doing my work and being hard-working throughout my time while I work at Walmart.#georgiawblworks #cherokeewbl

Today marks 16 years with Walmart, not a normal milestone but it has been half of my life! It’s been such an amazing ride that has almost come to end quite a few times over the years, and I can’t imagine what life would be like had that happened. There are a lot of friends that I have made over the years, a lot of people that I spent time in trenches with that I no longer talk with. There are a couple of things that they have left me with though:1.The reason we’re here is to support a life away from here. While I’m one of the biggest customer advocates you will find, every associate has a family, school, a vacation around the corner that they show up to support. Take interest in the reason that people work alongside you.2.The time that we spend here can either be the worst time and moments in our day/week/month, or it can be some of the best times we’ve had. Looking back, I realize that how I show up for the day dictates how the time progresses. I spent my entire 2 years as an Assistant Manager in the store answering the question “How are you?” with “Amazing”, and while they were some of the hardest times of my career, every second was amazing.3.The opportunities in life (for me that is at Walmart 😊) are endless and will never cease to surprise you. Through so many unforeseen circ*mstances I’m in my seat today. I happened to apply for a transfer to the wrong store in Colorado when moving from Wyoming and ended up meeting my wife at that wrong store. I applied for an Assistant Manager role at one of the toughest stores in Denver not realizing how tough it would be. That store ended up piloting Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery program (shoutout GHS crew!). I rolled the dice on travelling for work and missing my best friend’s wedding (she has since forgiven me) which lead me down the path of getting my first home office role. Opportunity almost always comes in the face of change and challenges, don’t ignore themIf you’re ever wondering if Walmart is a good place to work, This is That Place! Make the most of where you are at, own the role that you have, people notice and will show out for you.Tagging a few folks that have had a hand in shaping who I am and how I work today:Cassie Smith Marshall Deats Doug Lowe, MBA Sam Mullins Frank Grisby Ellen Deyoc Lisa Perez John Revill Monica Naegle Adam Elledge Adan Campos David Carr Jonece Hooper So many more that I'm know I missed!

This is my Walmart story, marking my 2.5-year milestone.I joined Walmart as a part-time associate in 2017, shortly after immigrating to Canada. Hailing from a small town with limited job opportunities, getting a position at Walmart was a stroke of luck amidst uncertainty. My journey has been one of profound growth and transformation.Over the years, amidst life's ups and downs, in 2021, I found myself drawn back to Walmart, where I embarked on a career journey filled with diverse experiences and invaluable lessons. From the front end to Omni, fresh to general merchandise, fashion to core grocery, I've traversed nearly every department, gaining a comprehensive understanding of Walmart's retail environment.Beyond the confines of a typical store, I've embraced unique challenges such as driving the forklift to move freights or empty containers—a task that both fascinated and enriched my skill set. Grateful for the opportunity presented to me the day I applied to Walmart, I've encountered many great people and learned from them (both knowledge and mindset), fostering a sense of belonging within the Walmart community.As I continue along this path, I remain committed to learning and growing, both personally and professionally. Each day brings new opportunities for development, and I eagerly embrace them with gratitude and determination. Last March, I was humbly nominated for “Shining Star of the Month”—just a small achievement that I've gained. But I consider this experience one of the greatest milestones in my career journey because it signifies that my dedication is heard and seen. As someone once said, “JOBs can be TAUGHT. SKILLS can be TAUGHT. EXPERIENCE comes from OPPORTUNITY. Start giving people an OPPORTUNITY to learn the SKILLS to gain EXPERIENCE to do the JOB."Walmart Canada Walmart #walmartcanada #walmart #thisisthatplace #selfdevelopment #selfgrowth #personalgrowth #careergrowth #oppotunity #teachandlearn #mindset

Interesting to see more and more companies trialling a 4 day week, especially a large organisation such as Asda.Do you think more places should trial it?If you are one of the lucky ones who are at a company that do 4 day working weeks, let us know in the comments how're your finding it? ⬇ #fourdayworkweek #structuralengineering #civilengineering #flexibleworking #worklifebalance

A few things I’ve learned while working at Costco Wholesale is that I have to stay consistent, focus on working, and finish all my tasks. The reasoning for all this is to leave a good impression on managers and supervisors so you can be their first pick for anything that can come up. I think I would be happy with my performance if I was my manager, because I am always trying my hardest to do my work. Three career goals I can set for myself is to continue working hard, help out the company in a positive way, and influence those around me to do better. Some things I can consider doing to go above and beyond at my job is to push more carts, see if there’s any other job positions I can use training in, and do my best work. #RiverRidgeWBL #GeorgiaWBLworks

10 years at Walmart ☕️It hasn’t been what I expected, in the best ways possible. I’ve learned a few things along the way. Some from the scope of the roles, many from the individuals around me, and an even greater portion from falling on my face. Here are several that I’ve come to appreciate: 1. Decide and define the things that matter to you. Pursue them & protect them fiercely. 2. It’s you vs. you. Don’t compare your path to anyone else’s. We’re all on different journeys, fighting different battles, celebrating different victories. 3. Have convictions, but be open minded. 4. Who you work for can be a life changing decision/experience. 5. Be inquisitive. Ask questions when you don’t have the answers. We all know less than we should. 6. Be humble. We are where we are, in part, due to things apart from our own doing (luck, help from others, etc.).7. But go get what you deserve. It won’t be given to you. 8. Be discerning about who you ask advice from. When you do ask, chances are that you will get a response, whether or not the advisor is qualified or has your best interest in mind. 9. Trust and respect are fragile. Handle with care. 10. The way things are definitely aren’t the way they could be, and probably aren’t the way they should be. They’re just the way they are because it’s how far it’s come. There’s always opportunity to improve. 11. Scope > title & pay. Scope leads to experience and experience leads to skill. At the end of the day, what matters is whether or not you can do the thing that needs to get done. 12. Yes, there’s a lot that has to get done, but you don’t have to be the one do it all, and it doesn’t have to all be done now. 13. You have little control over what happens to you. You do have complete control over how you respond. Looking forward to being able to add to this list in the years to come 🍻.*For kicks, here’s a picture of me on Day 1, having woken up 3 hours late for orientation after driving through the night because I missed my flight to Bentonville.*

I used to work at walmart. At one time I took on the role of the Inventory Supervisor (CAP Team Lead).I walked into an already well established crew who knew how to do the job and was working quite well together.Yet the upper management felt they weren't doing enough and were leaving too much for the other shifts to finish.I spent months going over how the plans were drawn up and the times given for doing their tasks. What I found was typical for most corporations. The expectations were set up by people who don't do the job and often times haven't even gone to see what the job looks like.It took me almost a year and a ton of resistance from upper management but I finally got them to step aside and let me do the scheduling.Within 3 months we had already started increasing productivity. Within a year we had started to break all the old records for speed, accuracy, and moral.I held the position for 5 years, not only did we do the work with less people than any other store (we had staffing issues), but we also had the lowest rate of product loss in the district.By the time I left the position I had also managed to help 4 people promote to leadership roles and one to upper management.The only thing I changed was I gave every one of the crew 15 minutes of unknown time.When they didn't have to watch the clock to make sure they were always hitting the unrealistic time expectations, they would instead just focus on their work and relax. Less stress means more productivity.So give yourself 15-20 minutes in your work schedule for the unknown. So you can be more present in your work, rather than worrying about the time.

Love the sincerity, casual and natural way in which ALDI USA approached this. Retail has so much talent with so many different skill sets. The industry has a huge potential to leverage even more their stores talent... many times they don't have access to corporate positions when, ironically, they are the closest to the business and their customers!Swapping positions is definitely worth trying. We are all reading about "re-skilling" talent, and quite frankly, test and learn in this area can be a huge competitive advantage for retail.Have you ever swapped talent from your teams? What was the impact?#HumanExperience #CustomerExperience #EmployeeExperience #EX, #CX #HX

31-year-old former teacher now works at Costco—and boosted her income by 50%: ‘I’ve never been happier’ — CNBC apple.newsRetail Today / Retail Renaissance: The Holiday/Xmas Season is weeks away, all the “big boys” have announced their plan to hire thousands of seasonal workers. Amazon, Walmart, Target, even Macy’s and hundreds of other small businesses will be putting on additional staff for this exciting holiday season. Normally they are part timers who supplement your existing staff and organizations. I’am a little confused since many companies have complained about the lack of availability of potential new hires. So how do you attract these valuable new employees? What incentives are available? Pay? Benefits? Holiday Discount? Potential full time position? Training? My gut tells me, we will start hearing that no one wants to work? As the attached article states, think about the Costco way, offer a potential career, not a job. #retail #holiday2023 #newhires #seasonaljobs #organisationaldevelopment #training #customerexperience #shoppingexperience #stores #retailtrends #retailindustry #retailstrategy #retailexperience #costco #amazon #walmart #target #macys
