1. Applied by application
2. Received Phone call about one week later to schedule an interview
3. We agreed on Wednesday at 4:00pm, I showed up wearing a suit because I just left my court sentencing
4. They were interviewing about 5 other people, and so mine didn't take place until roughly 4:10pm
5. I was led in by an HR rep. who seems like she has dealt with enough non-English speakers for one day
6. I was told to take a seat by a table which had a folder on it
7. The interviewer asked me which position I was applying for, my experience etc.
8. He had me fill out a criminal record check, and a medical check. He photocopied my license and SIN card
9. Up to this point the time would be about 4:30, he told me it would take a couple weeks for the checks to come back
10. I received a phone call a couple weeks later for orientation
11. Orientation consisted of meeting the new employees, filling out tax forms, and touring the store.
12. This was also day 1 of what they call CBLs (Computer Based Learning) which is a nauseating computer program featuring animated corporate toons bending over for the customer :)
FYI: There is no way to skip the video, though all you need to pass it is common sense.
13.CBLs complete, now they tell me Wal-Mart Full Time is actually 28hrs per week.
14. They insist I have experience (I was a 2nd year apprentice) only to find out the TLE techs don`t know what a gear ratio is
15. A union shop would have paid me 70% of Journeyman wage, not $9.40
16. Quit, almost 2 weeks later. But what an experience!
