As an employee of Walmart for the last 4 years I would like to share what was told to us today.
All current associates who make more than 11 dollars an hour will not get an increase to match the bump in starting pay. Instead if you have been an employee for 5 or more years you will get a one time bonus of $1000. If you have been employed for less than 5 years you will receive a one time payment of $200. So as it stands right now I make 13.00/hr as a CSM I will not get a pay raise but will get a one time 200 bonus. Thanks Walmart you are starting new employees in my area at two dollars more an hour and not raising anyone elses pay.
PS. Before anyone says anything like get a better job or what not let me explain in the area I live in there are no jobs walmart is it buddy.
