    I found your comments weird but the Wal-Marts in the US appear to be garbage.

    Just read that average ASM makes $40k a year. The Wal-Mart Canada average salary is $60k. All of the ASMs that I kneel about at the store I worked at made over $100k.

    The amount of other shit that you have to do and the long hours makes the US ASM position very unappealing.

    The Wal-Marts in Canada also do not have a top threshold for wage. You continue you get you little wage increase each year.

    Costco Canada does have a wage cap based on role in Canada. It’s only 3 dollars above min wage here. But you reach that 3 dollars much faster than you would at Walmart

      My ASM showed me his contract. It was for 55k/year. He expected to see a 6k bonus as well. That’s it, and yeah, his hours were and are shitty. He works 10-11hrs per day on average, 6 days a week. One stretch he worked 23 days straight.

      At Costco Canada, and I’m reading this straight out of the Employee Handbook right now, my wage will top out at $28.45/hr, as a front-line employee. Every 1,040 worked (26 weeks @ 40/hrs per week) I am getting a 1$/hr raise. Those amounts are set and not discretionary. There are 8 steps from starting wage to topped out and I’m at step 3 atm. This means that in roughly 30 months I will be making $28.45/hr.

      When I reach 12,000 total hours worked I also start getting a payout of 3k every 6 months. I keep trying to convince my ASM to quit Walmart and sign on with Costco…
