I am a current Wal-Mart Associate only have been working for them for less than a month. Phone Interview with 2 Sam's Club Store Managers. When I went to orientation I was told you can be promoted as soon as tomorrow. I have an Associates Degree which is one of the qualifications to obtain the position. I also have 5 Years of Manager Experience Running a Small Business which was completely undermined. I am extremely upset because I really wanted this job. I sent a Thank You Letter and 2 Follow Up emails to Hiring Store Manager and called twice. You have to work for them for however long they feel you need to in order to get into the Manager in Training Program. It's 2018 no one is waiting for to get in a program with a company they already work for it is too many companies hiring Managers In Training now.
