What are the hours of a department manager at Walmart?

Answer 1

hourly mgrs work 40-50 a week, assistant managers work 45+ co/store mgrs work 55+

that doesn't count lunches, salaried mgrs usually just get a 9 hour(not counting lunch) day added on so they work 6 days during peak time

UPDATE: Wal-Mart has recently changed the structure of how managers work. They now are required to work 3 days from 7:30 to 8:00. That shift applies to both day and overnight managers, so that there is a half hour overlap for exchange of information. That's 12 1/2 hours a day, but they is a SCHEDULED lunch hour in there.

After that 3 days, they are supposed to get 3 days off. This would be a good plan, as it rotates their days off and they could plan a life around the rotation. However, store managers have decided that the "intent" of the new plan was that asst managers should work 60 hour work weeks and so feel free to schedule their assistants shifts like 3 on, 2 off, 1 on and 3 on. Saying that they are sure that asst managers are still expected to work 5 days a week, even though the official rotation would have them working only 4 days a week, or 48 hours.

The problem with Wal-Mart is that Bentonville headquarters has some great ideas, but once the "ideas" become working models in the field, the Store Managers are allowed to alter these great ideas and use them to abuse their employess.

Did I mention that this new shift and rotation was implemented without a single pay increase and that they have recently made it nearly impossible for employees at new stores to ever receive a management bonus.
