Walmart reviews

-The pay was a little low for my position and I do not like the smoke-and-mirrors type pay structure where your stock becomes yours after 5 years etc. I like cold hard cash every two weeks. A bird in the hand beats two in the bush. I understand that this structure is designed to prevent turnover, but it makes me feel like they think I am a fool. You can't count something I MAY get five years down the road as compensation today. -The company is what I would call cheap. I think making employees supply food for parties and taking collections to pay for a venue for a Christmas party is absurd for a company like Walmart. -Every get together for IT they make you watch all of these homemade skits with lots of toilet humor etc. It drives me nuts. I find it very distasteful. -The vents in the men's bathrooms in the David Glass building are above the urinals, so if you have to urinate, you have to smell the bowels of 20 of your coworkers. Please move the vents above the toilets! -Parking can be a pain, but there is not much they can do about this. You may have to walk almost a mile and in the summer or winter this can be a royal pain!

Not a great place to work if you want to write code. Most of Walmart's software development is "remote sourced" to contractors in India. Walmart programmers mostly review code the contractors have written then at times have to fix it because the quality is poor. The company lacks any real direction in ISD. They change constantly but use outdated hardware, software and tools. The EDLC cost model is outdated and stale. Non of the systems in stores work right due to the constant drive to lower costs. The pay is at least 10% below what other companies pay for in house IT talent. The benefits are awful. The health insurance is a joke.
