Used to work at Walmart in Commack NY as part of their Maintenance team, but they had the issue of understaffing where there was only a single maintenance person essentially doing the entire store with no form of back up, whenever they got a new person, they only work for a few day before they then decide to leave and they didn't even try to do anything to improve the condition.

Everything seemed to to fall on deafs ear with them. Even when working my hardest, nothing ever pleased them.

Sounds like you’re in a position to ask for a raise or promotion. They won’t likely fire you, despite their complaining, if you’re the only maintenance guy. Just shrug off their comments and work through your tasks efficiently. It’s all you can really do.

They refused to give anyone promotions and they had a set pay amount. The only one who got a promotion was someone was a favorite by the management despite the fact everyone else that worked there thought it was unfair she got it.

In my experience if you disliked the politics at Walmart try Sam’s Club you get paid more and the people are much more willing to listen and change things.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

What is a fair salary/hourly for a kitchen manager in Tampa FL? Small kitchen with 3 to 4 kitchen assistants. Kitchen is open 50 hours a week. Manager has full creative license and has no one above them in the chain of command outside of owners.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
