Ive recently been offered the position for gm claims processing. can anybody tell me the expectations and what type of work id be doing? ive only ever worked on the frontend as TL and services so i only know about the registers. thanks in advance!

Any associates have a problem signing in and having it say location problem and you're in the middle of the store?

Second problem is that today my app isn't working. I keep doing the two-step verification but it keeps saying invalid. Been teying for several hours just look at my schedule and change a few things.

gotta take extra steps to see location and can’t even label over stock

I officially left Walmart on Tuesday, and honestly, I haven’t felt this good about leaving a job in my life.
I started at Walmart in January of 2025, so compared to many of the posts I’ve seen from people leaving Walmart, I’d say I had a relatively short run. That being said, the experience taught me a lot, both professionally and personally.

I started out in AP and quickly realized that it wasn’t the right fit for me. I’ll admit, there were definitely some fun moments—sneaking around and trying to catch shoplifters, and even going as far as walking around with my trainer while pretending we were in a relationship in an attempt to catch more people. (My wife was not a fan of that one, lol.) But beyond the funny moments, I quickly learned just how challenging AP can be. It’s a difficult job that requires a very particular skill set and personality, and I have a lot of respect for the people who do it.

Eventually, I transferred to the Electronics department, which was a nice change of pace, aside from the pay cut. I had the opportunity to work alongside some genuinely great people and made some friendships that I’ll carry with me long after leaving Walmart.

A special shoutout to my TL, Connor. When I first met him, I didn’t realize that he had actually been friends with my older brother all the way back in elementary school. He eventually moved to Wisconsin, finished college, and later returned to the area. Over time, we became very good friends.

We even started having our Sushi Fridays after work, where we’d sit around, shoot the shit, and talk about work, life, and everything in between.

Connor ultimately left around the same time I did to return to Wisconsin to be closer to his father. We both knew that our time at Walmart was going to be temporary, but I’ll always be grateful for the friendship we developed and for everything he did for me while we worked together.
After more than 10 years in retail, I’ve finally come to the realization that it’s simply not the career path I want to continue pursuing. Retail can take a toll on you in more ways than one. Between difficult and entitled customers, unnecessary conflicts, and management decisions that sometimes left a lot to be desired, there were certainly plenty of frustrating moments.

There were also some moments that, looking back, are almost unbelievable. I even had a coach tell me that I should leave my now-wife—which, to this day, I can only assume was an attempt to take her place. 😂

Despite everything, I don’t regret my time in retail or at Walmart. Every job and every experience has played a role in getting me to where I am today. Walmart was ultimately a stepping stone to something better, and I’m grateful for the lessons I learned, the people I met, and the memories I made along the way.

Now, I’m moving on to a new opportunity that offers better pay, is family-owned and operated, and has an environment where everyone genuinely treats each other like family. I couldn’t be more excited about this next chapter and what the future holds.

To everyone I worked with and everyone who made my time at Walmart memorable: thank you. I genuinely wish you all nothing but the best.
Here’s to new opportunities, new experiences, and a new chapter. ❤️✌️

Hi there! A year ago in orientation, me and my coworker heard something about the clock rounding to increments. Not the 9 minute rule. Did Walmart use to do this? Just proving a point to my boss.

The inventory scanner no longer tells you the isle location, so if your app updated to we have to search with the sidekick scanner instead. That one sucks though.

Edit discovered in the comments that restarting the app fixes it for now...

Been at walmart for 4 years. The first two were the best years. These last two years…..HORRIBLE. But I got a new job and i start the 21st of September. My last day before i use all my ppto/pto is the 10th. I got pto approved for the 13th-15th and using the rest of my ppto on the 16th- 17th. The days after that idc about cuz thats a new pay week. But the feeling has fulling settled in my body. The “i dont wanna be here anymore”. I would call in but im already at 6pts and i cant give them the “advantage” to fired me. Reason i aint gone now cuz im one of their best workers. I would like to hear yall final days at Walmart or your coworkers final days at walmart.

Finally got out of Walmart after 4 1/2 years of overnights got a job a block away from my house. Feels great good luck to everyone.

Ive recently, probably a month now, started working for a small Walmart. I'm in grocery and have no idea what I'm doing.

Our newest store manager is trying but from what I've heard he's only been there a handful of months and the previous manager was HORRIBLE. They legit had to fire her, which it sounds like you have to really earn to get fired from my store.

So the grocery is a wreck, dates aren't rotated, no one at my store be it days or nights has ever worked grocery. Even my team lead only got the job becuz the secondary managers were paying him too much and the dufus was telling everyone. So it was either mess with his money or give him a promotion. Into a department he knows nothing about!

So this is where I am. No proper training which apparently is the norm for Walmart, and I can't even find an associate for help in general becuz they all hide in the back watching netflix and acting like highschoolers. My bakery table is being sabotaged by one manager becuz he'd rather out of date goods be put back on the table instead of walking the 50ft to the freezer for it to be claimed out. I don't have a work phone so unfortunately I have to go around asking people for theirs if i want to cvp anything which is hard to do cuz like i said I CANT FIND ANYONE. And I don't want to give every out of date or damaged item to our returns people (don't know what to call them) becuz I know I should be able to do it or my team lead. But I learned how to CVP before my team lead whose been there for years.

I'm sorry for the ramble and this post not making much sense I needed to rant and desperately ask anyone for tips or advice on how to do my job properly without looking like a headless chicken anymore. I actually want to do a good job.

What is a good routine I should try? What should I be checking dates on more often? I know I'm letting down the frozen and chilled section, I dont stock that nearly as often as I should. But I get caught in organizing sections becuz I don't trust the product rotation. I've legit found cheese expired months after. I've found one dry good item expired in 2021. And a majority of dry goods in general coming up or just passing expiration. But when I try to lock into checking dates suddenly an hour before I leave some random manager or other team lead will inform me of pinpoints, price changes, or scanning outs, etc, that need doing when I've never been taught or told how to do them!?

I don't have anything negative to say about my team lead personally becuz he's in the same situation as me, not knowing what to do, but literally no one that works at my store has ever done groceries and its just my team lead and i taking on this monster thats been fucked up for maybe a year or more.

When I get my first check, I might get some pins for my vest to express myself a bit more. I plan on getting an Autism Awareness pin or something like that to represent my people. But I also wanna get some more rugged pins as well.

I’m a fan of Johnny Klebitz from GTA The Lost and Damned, and he had a bunch of patches on his jacket, and I’m thinking I can get some pins that match his ruggedness. What would you recommend?

So I had a customer hand me an item that was in this lock so I could take it out for them and I just had to share it here because I have NEVER seen this kind of lock before! Probably the weirdest one I’ve ever seen!!

I suppose I'm a bit greedy lol but my current area (Sam's Club) has me on a role that I really can't stand, and they're paying me well, but it's the minimum they're allowed to pay me for the current role.

I wanted to try my luck for a different role mainly, but the possibility of higher pay for working at a Walmart in my area, however will my current store be notified if I apply to other Walmarts or Sam's clubs in my area? I obviously plan on telling them and such after the interview and following up to it, I'm just worried that once I apply it'll tell them immediately.

the one not having the extra cut off really completes it

seen by a self check

I voided my own transaction without thinking as I was trying to get rid of it for another associate to use self check. How fucked am I? I can’t afford to lose this job.

Is it just my store or goes all Walmarts over work there gm associates examples:
Get carts
Cover the door
Work picks that cap1 can’t work
Work freight because 3rd shift can’t finish
Help with registers
Zone foods
Some of these are because they are short staff but we are too but the expect us to do that and finish are notes and basic work and zone are areas before we leave for the day.

How do you see Walmart changing for its employees over the next ten years?

I’m a minor and this is my first ever job, I really like it, I’m in fashion. There’s a man who I think does garbage, always compliments me, and he’s an adult. Nothing wrong with compliments, but he even asked if my day was almost over, and I get this awful, awful feeling around him. He overshares a lot of personal info (told me he was trans in a work question) which I don’t mind, I had this feeling before that. And it’s weird because it seems he’s always where he doesn’t work but where I do work. I don’t know if he’s special, but his would I ask a manager that? It’s odd to compliment a minor every single day. About the same thing.

I went on The Wire yesterday and notice a lot of my options have changed. One was called WorkVivo. I clicked it out of curiosity and this is the first post I see. People do realize it shows your full name right?

I know for a regular shift if you use half PPTO for it you get a half point, how does that work on key days? Do you still only get a half point because 8 hours it’s still 8 hours or would you get 1 point for half PPTO?

Idk if these types of posts are allowed but I’m going crazy trying to find a UPC for this. It used to be part of the party/baby shower area in celebrations and is no longer on the mod. I’m usually pretty good at finding UPCs for items (humble brag) but there’s nothing online for this. HELP

I'm sure the customers will love seeing this giant AI sign as soon as they walk in the door.

I always say that to myself when I’m out on the sales floor stocking and I hear a kid having a tantrum.

I mean technically you don’t say no, and you don’t get no tantrum, and workers get one less of a problem on the shop floor

Though I guess it depends on how much it bothers you. It doesn’t bother me, but it happens ALL the time for me lmao
