Experiences at WAL*MART

interaction with customers and associates, sense of accomplishment, customer satisfaction

customer complaints, personality conflicts between associates,

I first started as a part time cashier. i then had an opportunity to upgrade to full time in the photo lab. there i learned photo processing. i decided this i preferred cashiering , so transfered back to the front end, i was asked to work in the garden center, so i wwent to that dept for the season. i then transferred to sporting goods, learning alot about various outdoor activities. i was a bit uncomfortable with the hunting aspect, i then went back to the front end. i passed the customer service test, so accepted that position. it requires managing cashiers, handling customer issues as well as maintaing the balance of cash register readings. i also schedule lunch times and breaks for front end perssonell including cart pushers, door greeters, cashiers and service desk associates....
