I just got a job at walmart because I didn't have one and then when the time came to get a new job I couldn't because everyone I worked with was my friend and I really really loved my job and they treat their employees incredible.

I appreciate the way they treat their employees with respect and create opportunities to advance and make a better wage.

Be adaptable and friendly and willing to go the extra mile. It is a great company to work for

Been around my team which I loved dearly. Coaching and motivating them to success was a daily task that made everyone eager to grow. I loved every minute of my 25 years at Macy’s. It was my second home away from home ...., #motivation #retail #worklife
