Yeah Wal-Mart supposedly treats their employees like dirt yet literally millions work there.

Somehow that doesn't compute. All the plants around here supposedly treat their employees like dirt yet there is a waiting list to get hired.

After talking with folks that do the hiring at the local Wal-Mart and the local food processing plants apparently "treated like dirt" translates to requiring employees to actually show up on time AND actually put in a full day's work.

I guess all them folks actually thought a liberal arts degree translated into getting a cushy job where you do nothing all day and get paid for it. You know like being a U.S. Congressman or Senator.

Yep. Exactly.

I will say that what turned me off regarding Amazon was the actual experiences of my friends. The actual stuff that caused them to quit. In one case I told my friend the problem was that he had a REALLY bad manager. But that is probably because good help is hard to find for really low wages.

I remember working at Radio Shack for a few months while I went to computer school. I was shocked at the pay scale. The rank and file were very low paid, but the store managerse were very well compensated (if it was a fairly high volume store). It did mean the employees were treated well by a professional.
