A crafting friend of mine works at Walmart. The employees are treated like absolute CRAP, and not just during the holiday season. There’s no particular reason; it’s just because they can.
It’s almost like emotional abuse, and the employees are the victims of Stockholm Syndrome. I’m no bleeding heart, and hated whiners when I worked in H.R., but there’s a line and Walmart corporate has crossed it.

Amazon is the same way. A guy in my hometown was delivery drive. They would keep upping his delivery production so it was near impossible to meet. He never took a break or lunch.
He said it was a relief when he backed in to a woman minor fender bender and he was fired. Amazon after any accident no matter how small you are fired.
Our daughter worked for Walmart for years and loved it. She took advantage of many perks that were offered to her, such as being able to transfer to a different store when they moved, educational benefits, and also many promotional opportunities. they also offer employment to people who other places will not hire. It is a big corporation and obviously not all of her coworkers and supervisors were exceptional people to work with, but the system and organization was great which is why the company has thrived.
My nephew worked at a Wal-Mart distribution center. No holiday pay, though the pay is much better than the stores. Also, believe it or not, there is no heat and no air conditioning in those places.
