Working at Walmart

Nothing against people working at Walmart, but Walmart is probably not the most rewarding place to work at, especially if you're a woman. There has been law suits alleging that some store managers force employees to punch out at the time clock, but continue working after their hours are over without being paid. They would also lock their employees in about 10% of their stores overnight and force them to work. Walmart encourages the outsourcing of American jobs and also uses hundreds of illegal immigrants to clean its stores. They also have been accused of discriminating against women. Females held only 1/3 of the managerial positions and 15% of the company's store manager positions, even though they make up most of Walmart's hourly employees, 2/3 to be exact. They also make $14,500 less than male managers.
