tazinib1 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 This program is actually a good idea. Works perfect for the student who is working part-time and is a nice career changeover incentive for a person approaching there 1st retirement. I don't see anything wrong with it?

I still don't understand how working at walmart should/could help you earn credits towards your education?... actually, it makes sense for the new america....we hardly make anything anymore, so we might as well award college credits for spending a certain dollar amount since we're a country based on spending/consumption..... walmart has the right idea, but their heart is in the wrong place....they should be offering college credits to customers who keep supporting the filthy monster that they have become.. all hail walmart...

westvirginia Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 what do people at Walmart do other than that?... you said retail like I was targeting all of retail and not just Walmart How 'bout personnel management, supply chain management, inventory management, marketing, all the people who manage the properties/buildings/fleet of trucks/etc. You have some pretty narrow blinders on about Wal-mart, dude.

Yup - their supply chain is world class - has to be to make money in a business with thin margins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
