Walmart

When I first started their it seemed okay, but I did get suspicious when they would hammer into us it's your walmart and we value our employees. They started me as cashier, which I didn't apply for because I knew that was a bad idea, but took that position anyway. After about 4 months the store manager and a former assistant manager called me in the back and asked me if would work in the sporting goods department because some customers were complaining that I don't smile enough or was to slow. A lot of times my slow service was a result of long lines, due to a lack of cashiers and customers squawking that prices were wrong and making me waste my time trying to get an answer from the departments, which also lack staff. Especially in the evening. When they told me all this I told the assistant manager who hired me I told you didn't I, to which he answered, yes you did I'm sorry you obviously know yourself well. So I was moved to the back area to cover not just sporting goods, but seasonal, pets, toys and automotive. Most of my shifts began at 3:30 PM, at the same time the department managers were getting off. I was also usually covering these 5 departments by myself. The department manager of toys was not pleased with my performance because it was not zoned to her standards and there are only about 10 people on the night crew, who don't have time to get everything done. When I complained about this department manager not getting things done before I arrived and the lack of staff, they just said "It's not in the budget and it's not the department managers job to stock the shelves. All I can say is then what are they their for? Another part was if I went to help a customer especially on busy days another customer would complain I wasn't in my department to help them, so the management told me to stay in my department, which I did. Then someone from another department would go on their break and a customer wanted something in that area. But I was told to stay in my area and yet they would say to me you're supposed to help them. In other words the managers didn't want to have to cover for people on break and expected me to be in 10 places at once. By my final year I was written up because one of the newer assistant managers said that I am argumentative and went and helped stock in the food department without being asked and left my area uncovered. It was stupid, but he would have asked me to come help over there eventually like he often did. They also didn't like how I would go to customer service desk to get returns, even though I often did that without being asked as well and they would have called me up to do the task sooner or later. Customers were also mad, mostly the old people, because the Saskatchewan Government changed the sale of Angling and Hunting tags to be sold from automated machines and online. They would just argue anyway when I explained that Walmart was not going to install a machine because it would cost a lot to do so. In other words they figured I could just snap my fingers and make things appear out of thin air. That and they were mad that I couldn't sell them ammo without a valid FAC card. Some of them would even say well gun registration was banned, so I don't need it anymore. Or they try to get sympathy by saying well I didn't know it expired, can't you make an exception, I'm going hunting tomorrow. Then of course they'd complain and management would give me a hard time about it, even though I was just doing my job. Finally I was written up 2 more times and then was fired after the third write up because a woman came to buy a microwave and I had to explain that it was out of stock, I didn't know when more would be coming, to which I told her tomorrow at the earliest. She also wanted to order one for herself, which I told her was not possible except on line and would have to use her credit card for that. I also explained if she did order online it would be delivered to her door. She also wanted to be able to pay for it before more came and I told her that's not possible because the store's insurance policy doesn't cover paid for items. I then told her the best we can do is give you a rain check and we'll set one aside when they come and call you to pick it up. She then went to customer service and said I just kept saying no. Another women and I think her daughter came in on Fathers Day to buy and patio set, which I had to spend 10 minutes searching for, as it wasn't marked. No surprise, I had to do that for plenty of other customers to and end up finding patio sets, swing sets, and other large items on the top shelf in the back and you needed the forklift to get it down. That and had to move pallets stacked with other items that had just been unloaded to get to them. A group called Walmart Watch calls this system organized chaos and they aren't kidding. I finally did find it and had to waste more time moving other items to get it out. Then of course the loader was on his break so I had to load it for the customer and she complained that I disappeared on her and kept her waiting, even though I told to wait by customer service and I'll bring it out as soon as possible. So finally a week later they called me into the office and said we're going to have to let you go. You're just not a people person. We didn't come to this decision lightly. Then one of them asked if was still looking to get into housing and construction and I said no I'm ready to blow right now. Naturally the store manager wasn't there to tell me himself, even though it was him that said I need to go.

Walmart is a decent company to work for. Depending on which department you work for and who your managers/coworkers are, it can be an enjoyable place to work. I worked in the Dairy/Frozen section and I have worked in this department for over two and a half years. These are important factors you should know before applying.

The work loads can shift between fast paced and slow paced. Sometimes you can show up for a shift and there won't be a lot of tasks to complete. There are also other days where you can show up to work and it is an absolute circus where you will be forced to work extremely hard in order to complete your tasks. The hard work is not worth the wage you receive.

Department managers and upper management can be nice to you but can also be a nightmare to deal with. Some management will be there to support you throughout your career while others tend to make situations rougher than they need to be. I've had more negative experiences with department managers. Department managers are rather disorganized and struggle to communicate with associates when it comes to expectations and they do not give proper hands on training to new associates. They may often look down on you and belittle you behind your back. Some assistant managers may not support you and some may treat you like you belong at the bottom of a totem pole.

Beginning at this company can be challenging. There is a bunch of computer based learning courses you must take. Some are informative while others are outdated and unnecessary. Department managers are supposed to give hands on training when it comes to new associates however this task is thrown onto other associates who may not be able to teach you properly. 

Personally, I feel that the company does not pay enough for the work that needs to be done. Depending on the department you work for, it is very tough labor for minimum wage.

Hours may not be guaranteed and they will cut hours down to as little as 12 hours per week for part time/part time flex and can cut down to 28 hours for full time. Schedules may also be inconsistent and management can schedule you 3 PM to 11 PM and then schedule you 7 AM to 3 PM the next day. 

Career growth is a huge struggle within the company. I work as a part time flexible associate. My assistant manger told me that in order to get full time, I would have to "apply" for the position. He never informed me about the application process when it came to transferring and instead gave the position to someone else a couple of days later. I then tried going overnight as there were four positions available. However when I tried to transfer, I was denied and was not provided with a proper reason as to why I was denied the opportunity. The positions went to four new hires. I then tried to transfer and become a fulfillment associate. This time I was ghosted and wasn't given an answer if I was denied the opportunity or not. All of these were rather strange considering I was given positive feedback on my performance as a worker.

Communication is a significant struggle if you work evening shifts (3-11).
Most important meetings happen in the morning shifts (5 AM to 1 PM, 7 AM to 3 PM) when the store manager(s) are at the store. They will announce new policies and rules that do not get properly communicated to the evening team, leading the evening associates to get in trouble for not following policies they were unaware about. 

Your fellow associates can make or break your experience. Some associates are a nightmare to deal with due to their rude, careless, and lazy behavior. Some usually do the bare minimum when it comes to work. Others are very nice, efficient, and make work an enjoyable experience.

Breaks are pretty good and allow you to rest for awhile especially if you work long shifts.
4 hour shifts get one 15 minute break.
5 hour shifts get two 15 minute breaks.
6 hour shifts get one 15 minute break and one unpaid 30 minute break.
7+ hour shifts get two 15 minute breaks and an hour unpaid break.

The Omni department at Walmart Bridgewater is severely understaffed, despite handling a high volume of orders daily not just from the Walmart website, but also from platforms like DoorDash and Uber Eats. The current workload far exceeds our staffing capacity, yet management has consistently failed to address this issue.

The Pick-Stage-Dispense system is inefficient and outdated. Associates have voiced concerns for over two years, but our feedback has been ignored or dismissed. On most days, 6 to 12 vehicles arrive at once, yet only one associate is expected to handle all orders within five minutes, an unreasonable and unsustainable expectation. Repeated requests for at least two people on dispense have been denied, with the focus clearly placed on metrics and profit rather than operational support or employee wellbeing.

What makes matters worse is that the pay for this position does not reflect the level of responsibility, pressure, or stress placed on associates. We are asked to perform beyond capacity without appropriate compensation or consideration for the physical and mental toll it takes.

Training is another serious concern. Our current team lead is unreliable and unprofessional, often providing incorrect information to new hires. As a result, it falls on experienced associates to train newcomers properly, which not only slows productivity but also undermines team morale. When mistakes are made, blame is frequently deflected onto new associates instead of acknowledging poor leadership.

Scheduling is also highly problematic. Despite claims of flexibility, schedule adjustments are nearly impossible to make. Associates have waited months, even over a year, for basic changes. While our department manager gives the impression of being supportive, there is a clear disconnect between what’s said and what is actually followed through.

In terms of leadership culture, there is a troubling pattern of intimidation and dismissiveness. When concerns are raised, associates are often called into the office with multiple managers present, an obvious tactic to discourage transparency. The store manager has responded to requests for help with outdated and dismissive remarks like, “Back in my day, one person did all of this,” showing a clear lack of awareness of how operations and customer expectations have evolved over the last 25 years.

Employee turnover is high, and it's easy to see why. Associates are regularly overworked, under-supported, and subjected to a culture where appearances take priority over real issues especially when higher-ups visit the store. We're told to smile and wear vests, while behind the scenes, conditions are overwhelming and unsustainable.

There is also increasing concern over inter-departmental interference, bias, and cultural insensitivity from some managers. These issues further contribute to a toxic and demoralizing work environment.

Lastly, customer aggression, especially from impatient shoppers and DoorDash drivers is a growing safety issue. Management takes minimal preventative action, despite clear steps that could be implemented (e.g., tracking delivery drivers via account info or communicating with partnered platforms). This puts front-line workers at unnecessary risk and must be addressed immediately.

 The challenges in our department are longstanding, well-documented, and serious. We are committed to doing our jobs well but we need real leadership, proper staffing, and accountability at all levels. Without immediate changes, the department will continue to suffer, and turnover will continue to rise. Managers need to realize employees don't quit their jobs they quit the management. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone is welcoming and supportive. I work CAP3 at store 1165. Within a 2 months of my hire I got my Mechanical Lift license and shortly after a CPR certification. Everyone on "our team" is there to get the job done (refreshing). Our Management is very supportive they "walk the talk" and openly look for feedback and ideas to strengthen our ability to function more efficiently and safely. We Rocked this year!! Finished the year on TOP!!
Maybe your looking for your very first job ( perhaps your first job after coming to Canada).Perhaps you've decided you are too young to truly retire. Are you just looking for a place to be "you". Are you just looking to simply "earn" a paycheck - Walmart is looking for "you". 
Do what I did - simply walk into the Walmart with a location that works best for you - go to customer service - and ask if you can speak to someone about applying for a job at "this Walmart". 
Get hired = Get appreciated

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
People leaving items all over the place - Especially garbage like coffee cups - eck!!!
Told my friend about this - now she can't help but notice while she's shopping anywhere - all the junk people think is ok to just leave somewhere random - instead of looking for or asking one of the many Walmart associates for a place to dispose their garbage.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is super supportive - Mgt. are really there to help an associate thrive and grow.
Everyone is welcoming. I have worked with such an eclectic range of peoples - sharing their diverse cultures and perspectives. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I work 11pm - 7am 
I arrive 20-25 after 10 - This is so that I can arrive when the last city bus generally arrives at the Walmart I work at - associates are leaving and arriving at this time and a manager is at the door to provide access - and therefore I don't have to call a manager and wait at the door for them to just let "me" in.
I go up to the staff room to organize myself and relax until we start.
we clock in at 10:45 then go down to get all of the equipment ready we need and get organized (starting a bit early could mean a little bit more $ or a little bit of flexible time for the end of the shift - time to check shift schedules, finish CBL's such as WHMIS or just be able to know you don't have to scramble to catch your bus home.  
we meet with our managers to get the play for the night - often we will all work in foods as it really is our focus on CAP3 and makes breaking it down much faster - but many times we may divide and conquer by branching out and then circling back. Other product we stock regularly is Health and Beauty , Infants and Pets. Other than stocking incoming product and binning the overstock in the back we also CAP the stock area, reset shelf quantities and create picks when needed, bring all claim items found to the back and make sure all shelved product is customer ready. throughout our shift we will breakdown all the cardboard and separate all the plastic etc.. for recycling. 
If you like to be busy, just do the task ,have time fly by , and nights are convenient for you - then CAP3 could be right for you too. 
All pallets , rocket carts and break boxes of product are given a combination of working hours and sorting hours - Our goal as a crew is to - not only meet - but - to exceed this expectation - safely. Yet we are fully aware that sometimes there is just not enough hands to work all the product in the time that we are on shift.
We have two 15min breaks and a 1/2 hour lunch on CAP3 - this will differ from other teams and individual associates - dependent on their hours of work. Some working short shifts having less breaks and some working more or different hours having longer breaks.

I had the privilege of working as a cashier at Walmart for two years, and it was an overall positive experience. Walmart is an enormous retail giant, and being a part of their cashier team gave me valuable insights into the retail industry and provided numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. Here's my review based on my time at Walmart.

Job Satisfaction and Work Environment:
Working as a cashier at Walmart was an engaging and fast-paced experience. The work environment was generally friendly, and my colleagues were supportive and helpful. Walmart encourages teamwork and promotes a positive atmosphere that made it easier to tackle the daily challenges of the role. While the workload could be demanding during peak hours, it offered a sense of accomplishment and kept me motivated.

Training and Development:
Walmart has a comprehensive training program for cashiers, ensuring that new hires receive the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their duties efficiently. I received thorough training on operating the cash register, scanning items accurately, handling cash, and providing excellent customer service. The training sessions were well-structured and equipped me with the tools needed to succeed in my role.

Customer Interactions:
Interacting with customers was one of the most rewarding aspects of being a cashier at Walmart. I had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of customers, each with unique needs and requirements. Walmart's emphasis on customer service excellence empowered me to provide exceptional assistance, resolve issues, and create a positive shopping experience for customers. These interactions helped improve my communication skills and boosted my confidence in dealing with various situations.

Career Advancement Opportunities:
Walmart offers numerous opportunities for career growth and advancement. The company has a robust internal promotion system, providing employees with the chance to move up within the organization. Through their training programs and internal job postings, I witnessed many cashiers transitioning to higher positions within Walmart, such as department managers or supervisors. The company values hard work and dedication, rewarding employees who display commitment and a strong work ethic.

Benefits and Compensation:
Walmart offers competitive pay and benefits packages for its employees, including healthcare options, retirement plans, and employee discounts. As a cashier, I received regular pay raises based on performance evaluations and length of service. The benefits package was comprehensive and helped ensure the well-being of employees.

Improvement Areas:
While Walmart provided a fulfilling experience as a cashier, there were a few areas where improvements could be made. During busy periods, the workload could sometimes be overwhelming, requiring additional support or staffing adjustments to ensure efficient customer service. Additionally, there were times when communication between management and frontline employees could have been more streamlined to address concerns or share important updates.

Conclusion:
Overall, my time as a cashier at Walmart was a positive and fulfilling experience. The company's commitment to customer service, extensive training programs, career advancement opportunities, and competitive compensation and benefits make it an attractive choice for individuals seeking employment in the retail industry. If you enjoy a fast-paced environment, value customer interactions, and appreciate a supportive work culture, Walmart is a great place to build a career as a cashier.

During my time at Walmart, I've encountered amazing coworkers, managers, and customer. I've also seen the shuffling of management, the apathetic team of coworkers, and being ignored by management.

I would say that this position offered to a lot of opportunities to learn how to help and handle customers, how to work under pressure, and how to keep your eye out for ways to improve your environment. However sometimes these ideas will be shut down without a second thought, others can and will be looked into. The idea of growth when walking into Walmart feels great, however, once you're faced with associates who've been trying to make their way up the ladder for 5 to 10 years, with little success, it hurts your dreams. It seems the system is very bureaucrat, as it most likely must be with the size of Walmart.

The work-life balance in my position as a Customer Experience Sales-floor Associate is terrible. You can have weeks where you're working 7 am to 3 pm for half the week, then 3 pm to 11 pm the other half. Or work 3 pm to 11 pm one day, then the next 7 am to 3 pm. The shifts switch all over because of Walmarts CustomerFirst approach. This makes developing a healthy routine nearly impossible. 

Like any job, your coworkers and managers will vary. You may have a few great managers, a few awful managers, it all depends on their situation and how they feel about their job. For the most part co-workers and managers come in with the desire to assist and make a positive impact, however slowly many associates at Walmart become apathetic towards the job, this is highly evident by browsing the internet, or talking to people who work there.

As a Customer Experience Sales-floor Associate I've interacted with thousands of customers, sometimes nearly a hundred a day. From simple directions or questions for solving tasks, searching information for them, calling other Walmarts and businesses, to simply saying hi. My absolute favorite part of the job is to interact with customers, sometimes they're upset because they're running late, or we don't carry something for them but its all because of the situation. Most customers are friendly and respectful in my experience.

Training followed Walmarts CBL's, which are videos on quizzes on Walmart policies, ways to interact with customers, and how to operate certain equipment around the store. You, however, will find yourself being tasked to do jobs that you have not been qualified for by Walmart, however, sometimes management doesn't care because sometimes the "rules" can be silly. However if you let them know you don't feel comfortable doing something, or that you can't because of a health concern, they're fully accepting. There are obvious rules in place that no manager will ask you to break because it would be foolish. I use the word "rule" very loosely here.

You can never be on downtime in this position, you're always required to be doing something, be it helping customers, fixing stuff, cleaning, or making a department look pretty. Downtime is considered bad work ethic at Walmart.

Being short staffed is a daily occurance.

Overall I give the job 3 stars because it provides a safe opportunity for just about anyone to find a role in customer service or warehouse operations. If you dedicate yourself for years to the job, and constantly let management know you want to move up the ladder, you'll be able to move up in a few years as long as your attendance, and reviews are perfect.

I knew little of employment with Walmart before I started. As my first job, I was just excited to have something to look forward to each day, and surprisingly enough, the excitement for my paycheck came afterwards. I had felt like I was suddenly part of a big family, and all the associates knew each other, it was awesome. Everyone was so friendly and helpful during my first weeks there, and even years into my employment, we had each other's backs.
Now, the fun didn't last for long.
See, Walmart is a company that likes to undergo structural/operational changes, quite frequently I may add. So, partway through my employment Head Office made the decision to fundamentally change how the Walmart stores operate. Some of you may have noticed that over time, less and less staff were in departments, with more people generally through the store. This was detrimental to the operations of the store, as less and less people knew what was going on, small teams in charge of price changes were over-worked to the point of half the store not getting done regularly, skids were left on the floor covered in stock, resulting in poor working conditions, and the availability requirements of most associates resulted in minimal staffing during peak business hours (made worse by frequent call-ins from other staff members.) In addition to this, a well liked manager was notified of her termination moments after the meeting explaining this to the management team was started.
This was the start of the WoW program.
After this, employees became bitter, distrustful of management, who consistently lied to district and market leads in an effort to show that our store was functional. Shelves became bare and what little stock was there was messy. When staff was short at the front, you can bet your bottom dollar that management would page the few associates on the floor to help customers up to the checkouts to help scan through people... this happened at least 5 times a day... all while management would sit in the back office and drink their coffee. Good luck trying to get a manager to deescalate a customer issue during this time, as they'd "be too busy."
Oh, also worth noting that management loves to play favorites and reprimand overweight associates for wearing certain clothes, but more "attractive" associates never get spoken to, and instead, are sometimes encouraged to wear what they like.
The strong workers are never rewarded, only pushed more.
The weaker workers are never shown how to grow, only have their tasks taken away to be given to the stronger ones.
I remember when self-checkouts were put in this location, and despite saying "I'll be up there talking to customers and explaining to them the benefits of self-checkout," the store manager... STORE MANAGER, lasted 5 minutes, and went to the back office after getting yelled at ONCE. Meanwhile, young cashiers are yelled at, harassed to the point of tears, yet managers seldom do anything. "Well, we can't kick them out."

The ONLY good person that worked here when I left was the HR manager. Shout out to her. Did anything and everything she could to help employee retention, going as far as even letting associates vent to the point of tears in her office. Was a huge help when I was working there, and I know it was a huge help to others. She deserves way better than what she gets... by which I mean the managers making her cry on a near daily basis from never-ending gaslighting.

A typical day at Walmart, would look like me swiping my card before every shift, heading to the customer service desk and assisting the other workers as they end their shift. I would put away the merchandise that people have refunded or exchanged. Then I would open my cash and count it to make sure it balanced $100.00 and that I had enough proper change. I would then greet the next guest in line and assist them with their request. Typically I would do refunds, exchanges and correct errors on receipts such as correct change, gift card errors, cheques and many more. Occasionally I would also help some of the customers send money through Western Union because our Walmart location also had that option. I would also promote and sign customers up with the Walmart Rewards MasterCard. At the end of the night, I would add up my cash register and close it completely and then clean and tidy the store.

What I learned from this position is definitely, the ability to multitask because it was such a fast paced environment and most times I was dealing with more then one customer at one time. This position also helped me with communication and problem solving skills because of the many creative requests that the customers wanted and me having to try my best to solve their needs as well as follow our store policy. I also learned to be attention to detail because I was constantly handling money and also inspection of the merchandise when it was refunded to make sure they are refunding it the same way they purchased the item. 

The management team here was very positive and helpful, there was a lot of people that we could go to if we felt more comfortable talking to a certain person. They made sure that everybody was working as a team and being treated fairly. 

The co-workers became like a family to me because everybody helped one another achieve their goals. Seeing these happy faces each day was a nice feeling going into work. Each day we all had to compete with how many people signed up for the Walmart MasterCard and the co-workers were very positive and encouraging to one another. 

The hardest part of the job was when a customer wanted to refund an item that was non-refundable. For example, the store policies state that you can not refund underwear even if it is not opened. A lot of customers were upset with this policy, and it made this hard for me because I love to satisfy every customer and sometimes its uncontrollable. I would empathize with each customer and explain the policy in a positive manner and sometimes you can't please everyone no matter how hard you try. I am a people pleasure, I love to help people so this was the hardest part of the job. 

The most enjoyable part of this job was developing personal relationships with each customer and putting a smile on each of their faces. Being apart of making their day even just a little bit easier made this job give me complete satisfaction each shift.

I started as a Store Standards Associate, who pushed carts and cleaned the store, for 8 months until I was promoted in to the electronics department. My job now, as a sales representative, is just to give information on a variety of products and put stock out in the mean time. Since we don't work on commission, we can give customers our honest opinion on products.

The coworkers I have are fantastic and we are a tight knit family back there. Most of them are my age and in the same position in their life as I am - recent University graduates looking for jobs elsewhere, so we have a lot in common and stick up for each other whenever we need to. The workload is decent - you're never really bored but you're not running around all the time (unless it is a special event like Black Friday or Christmas). Obviously, one will encounter "Walmart customers" and you will get yelled at your fair share - but my coworkers have always been there to comfort me and laugh it off.

This is where my main problem with Walmart lies however. Every single department manager, duty manager, and our store manager have never once stuck up for any associate when a conflict gets out of hand and the customer asks to see a manager. Through two and a half years, managers have continually thrown associates (whether its myself or others), under the bus although we have done what we have always been told to do (we don't have any stock left, we're not allowed to sell a display model, etc.). I have not once seen a manager stand up for an associate which is my biggest complaint about this company.

Since all managers are power hungry for advancement, which is not entirely their fault since Walmart is a great place for career advancement, most do not listen and do not want associate feedback, and if one were to give it, we would probably get verbal warnings. I have, on several occasions, also been given three or four conflicting tasks to do at the same time all from different managers. I usually tend to do the one which my department manager gives me directly, but it can still sometimes result in a talking to about "helping the greater good of the store" and "there is no such thing as "not your department.""

Outside of the disorganization of managers, the salary is good (more than a dollar over minimum wage) and most managers are pretty forgiving when it comes to scheduling conflicts. I've never once had any problems taking time off work or adjusting my schedule for school and exams.

If it wasn't for my wonderful coworkers, I'm not sure if I could still be at this store. There are plenty of good things, and I sure have gotten my share of experience, but it's time to get out. It's been an excellent beginning job, but any longer and I find I might get caught in a rut. I would not discourage the pursuit of a part time job at Walmart, but I would encourage a healthy amount of awareness while working to ensure that your managers are not taking advantage of you and that you get out while you still can.

My typical day at work includes photo sessions (for those sessions that bother to show up), do photo consultations with in 72 hours of the customers session, 24 hour confirmation of sessions, editing portrait sessions and selling images. During the day I will do about 80-90% passport photos. 
I have learned that it doesn't matter how much effort and creative spin I put on something, people hear Walmart and they hear cheap. I have learned that the odd person that comes into the studio will think my photography and my time and effort is worth more than $8.00. This customer is rare and I appreciate all the kind words that they have given me over the years. 
My staff is amazing. They are hard working and I couldn't ask for more from them. 
Hardest part of my job comes in 3 parts. Part 1 - Rude, ignorant parents that are only concentrated on getting the perfect picture that they see in a magazine even though their child may be too young to achieve this look. These parents refuse to let me do my job. If they bothered to let me do the job I was trained to do, they would see that I will surprise them
Part 2 - Parents that verbally abuse their kids and expect me to sit there and let them do it. It doesn't happen. You want to act like that in my studio, get out. 
Part 3 - getting little compensation for the time away from my family as I work 6 days a week and haven't had a Saturday off in 3 years. I do not get to plan weekend trips away with my family unless it is near the end of the summer and it turns out to be 1 Saturday a year. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing all of those families smile, and all the new babies. It makes me appreciate my family more. 
Management. As I am a manager I will talk about my higher ups. Although I understand the job that they have to do, I do believe that they need to have more wiggle room for certain things. Times are changing. There are fewer people who want to come into a studio for portraits. Most people these days either have their own camera, or pay someone to come to a location of their choice to get portraits done. I would. I do not feel that they give me the appreciation that I know I deserve. I don't ask for much, just a full weekend off a month and a raise wouldn't hurt. They seem to talk me up so much to each other but give me nothing back in return. When I don't do well I get the third degree, even when I work tirelessly to get the task done.They always talk about how our 7.99 package is what brings people in. This 365 day a year coupon does bring a few people in, but it locks the customer in a price point that they won't get out of, making my job of selling the portraits very difficult. I have mentioned to the company several times about changing the introductory offer, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
