Assistant managers and above are salaried. Department managers(aka sales associate who runs a department) are not salaried.

QFT, they really are that bad, ive never seen a company mistreat employees the way walmart does.

She can easily find a job that pays almost 1.5-2.0X the wage that she gets now just by using a temp agency. Or she could use those skills she acquired and work for another retailer, no problem.

**EDIT**
But she shouldn't have gone for a demotion, that is just bad business sense anywhere you work. If you don't like the job, quit and find another one. Demotions look bad on your resume. Quitting as a Manager looks okay.
 
Ok, just to clear this up a bit..

Chain of command at walmart:

Associate => Team leader => dept manager => co GM (doesnt exsist at smaller stores) => GM

You left out assistant manager, who falls right below the co-manager, and above department manager. I worked in a 24 hr supercenter for 3.5 yrs, trust me, I know how it goes and works.
 
Wow that's pitiful! Why doesn't she look for another job? So she's not even making $20 a week more than the sales associates! I would expect better in China!

I worked in a sams club, that position didnt exsist.

Youre not talking about MIT are you?
 
Sam's club positions aren;t the same. Wal-Mart doesn't have team leaders either.

I know exactly what I'm talking about.
 
Think of it this way:

Because she stepped down, Walmart is going to have to pay a lot of money to train someone to fill her position.

LMAO, walmart doesnt really train anyone below managment level. Its just "omg you got promoted, good luck".

Why do you think their service is so awful?

Ok, youre walmart jesus, i get it!

Its a crap company to work for, that simple.

LMAO at getting into a pissing contest over this.

To me it looks like the exact same structure, only they dont call them the same thing, dont get your panties in a bunch.

Thats just crazy, even with my rabid hatred for walmart i make it into one once a year or so.
 
I'm just saying, I know what I'm talkign about. Working in the stores BLOWS at any position, there is no doubt. I now work at one of the grocery distribution centers and it is like night and day.

Yeah i actually heard the DC jobs were a lot better, i was thinking about getting a job at our local DC before i quit.
 
When I left the store, after 3.5 yrs, I made 8.10 an hour.

I've been at the DC for just over a year, and I make 16.05 + incentive + quarterly bonuses. Night and day.

Its amazing how retarded walmart is about cost control, but once you leave the stores, their wages get competitive again.

I was making $9.55 as an hourly associate at sams, i had my 1yr 3 days before i quit.
 
Yeah murphy knows what he's talking about with store positions, 5+ years at walmart myself. I may end up at the new grocery warehouse soon if I can't find a job here shortly.
