Why is Wal-Mart so admired when they treat their workers so poorly?
Low pay, crazy hours, people that do not understand your job deciding if your good at it or not, and what pay raise you should get if any for doing your Job!

I hate that corporation! Don't worry, there are people on your side. I NEVER shop there purely for those reasons. There are numerous studies showing that Walmart could raise employees' salaries and give them better health benefits without damaging their profits or raising prices. It's just cruel for the corporation not to do so.

since walmart is considered as a store between big-box /retail store its loved... they purchase large amounts of the same products in order to sell it individually cheap to us... and since the variety is so great. we naturally admire walmart... keep in mind they also preform consumer research to figure out ways to make us love walmart even more

People want stuff cheap, no matter who it exploits. So that's why people shop at Wal-Mart, despite their history.

That's why sweat shops exist in the garment industry. That's why undocumented immigrants are often limited to low-paying jobs. Supply and demand.

I think they are not admired, but people like that store because they sell things at low low prices, and it's family friendly. I go there to get just about everything, and honestly I would figure if they treated the employees like that than they wouldn't be one of the largest retail outlets around? That's just my opinion.

Because they have low prices. Always.



Mainly because the American people only worry about problems that apply to them. If they don't work at Wal-Mart, then they don't care how the people that DO work there are treated. Just look at how we handle Global Warming: nobody is doing anything because it won't really affect them in their life time!

If that were true, why are people working there? Looks like they could walk out the door anytime.

Because it is the definition of the american dream. Wal-mart started out as a small corner store in Arkansas in the 1960's. Now its a global empire that employee more people then any other company. Only the US government employ more people.


kristeena911
most people do not know the way WM treats the employees. they also shop there because its the one-stop shopping place. its just easier and more convienient. i dont think it would make a difference in peoples shopping habits if they did know the behind the scenes action. i have relatives that work for WM. i know how it is.


arthur.krill@sbcglobal.net
Why do you think Wal-Mart is admired? The stock is discussed quite a bit since years ago it rose in price dramatically.

Work is work. If people want better pay, better benefits, then they should go back to school/college and study for a better career.

because of their low prices, and the elderly greeters. (the people that work at the one near our home is very polite)
