“Consistent starting pay results in consistent staffing and better customer service while also creating new opportunities for associates to gain new skills from experience across the store and lay the groundwork for their career regardless of where they start,”
Ok miss PR person. Please explain your rationale cause that shit makes no sense.
I worked somewhere that was killing off their QA department and in a company wide meeting explained it by saying
“when you go to a store a pick up a part, you expect it to have gone through QA”
Lots of head scratching that day.
They still don’t QA their products. They just ship them and let the customers complain if something is wrong.
probably went something like this: someone at a low paying store complained about the store 4 miles down the road paying more. so they're addressing that 'issue'.
I'm actually surprised they were paying what they pay. My nephew got hired to move carts around for $19 an hour. Sure, it's part-time, but that's a crazy starting wage for a big box store in Indiana.
Edit: Before you think I'm pro-Walmart, fuck Walmart. I hope every store closes down and the Waltons go bankrupt.
Edit 2: Also, minimum wage should be $21 an hour everywhere, so it's only a crazy starting wage because Indiana is a fucked up red state.
I once listened to someone who managed a walmart-esque store complain how to get their cashiers who earned slightly above minimum wage to go above and beyond their required duties
