When I talk about Walmart treating their people badly I speak from my brothers experience with them. He told me many things that were done by management. One example is that if they did not at least match the sales of the previous year on that given day then they were to cut employees hours to compensate for the loss in revenue. They don't take into count other contributing factors as to why sales were off that day. I fully understand that Walmart is a business and as such they are there to make a profit first and foremost. I am just not a fan of some of their pratices. The benefit package that my brother had was nothing that impressed me. He was in the management program and was offered a little better package than standard employees. I guess for the type of work it is the benefits are ok.
There are many problems in our country right now that has contributed to the poor state of our economy. Walmart just happens to be one piece of that puzzle.
