Reply to comment by [deleted] in Ontario Walmart turns into 'hotel' as storm-stranded shoppers get stuck for the night by jormungandrsjig

The problem with Wal mart is that they don’t give full time jobs. The manager and assistant manage are typically the only people in a store that are considered full time. Once you’re a full time employee, they need to start providing you with benefits.

Everyone else is part time. It makes it easy to fire them and they don’t get any benefits.

Wow. I just looked this up. They’ve made big changes over the last 5 years because employee retention was so low. That’s a huge step, they’ve also increased their minimum wage in most places as well.
