Walmart Stores and Clubs

Bakery Associate

June 2018 - August 2019 • Winchester, VA

What I liked

The people that work here were incredibly kind and helpful. I was able to be given a non-official leadership role over a couple of associates as we attempted to meet deadlines and provide the customer with a memorable and inviting experience. Throughout the summer, I had the privilege to create friendly and engaging relationships with not only several associates and with upper management but also with many customers that frequented the store.

What I wish was different

Honestly, it was a very ideal job. The physicality involved was not very taxing; the work was fairly monotonous but this made the work easier before it ever made altogether boring.

Advice

No job is too menial for you not to try your best, to shine into others' lives (whether associate or customer), and to learn from the work and the conversations, really the experiences.

Cashier

November 2016 - September 2019 • Alcoa, TN

What I liked

I enjoyed working with my coworkers because almost all of them were very friendly. It also helped me become more comfortable around new people and people I had never met before (people skills).

What I wish was different

I ended up having to quit because they weren't very flexible when I needed a day off for something like finals, going out of town for a holiday, etc. I requested a Sunday off for finals week 7 months in advance and it got rejected, but I got about 3 solid years out of it so it was probably time for me to move on anyway.

Advice

If you are also in school at the same time, try and find a department that has a strong manager that can fix your schedule if you need a day off due to an exam/final/etc.
