It's a mini vacation away from the store it's a joke
I do the ordering for my store and I find it strange that they will pay a fortune to train us on things that have nothing to do with the job we do, but won't pay for simple things like toilet paper and paper towels. We have to use claimed out tp and paper towels. They won't even buy mop buckets for our maintenance because we are over budget! They make the floor cleaning crew wash out scrubber pads and re use them over and over. Yet they will pay $1350 for a hotel for our pharmacist to work at another store. I also do the MTR's so I see how much money is wasted paying $450 per night right on the beach for 3 nights. I also see the MTR's that the district manager makes each store pay for Starbucks whenever there is a meeting 2-3 times per week. A lot of wasted money that could be used to pay their associates better.
Our Academy is wasted payroll. A big joke!!
Big waste of money it's a joke
When I was with the company I had CBLS that had nothing to do with me either!
Waste of time and money! Good job WM!
I learned how to do stuff that has NOTHING to do with my job in claims. Not one thing pertained to claims when I spent a week at the academy. I agree it is a huge waste of money and time. Then you get to come back to a huge mess because no one does your job while you are there. Go Walmart!! What a joke!
Just that the company likes wasting money
