Well, Walmart is so far out the door it's in China. Where they manufacture everything.
I went for the interview, and they were offering $8/hr at full time right off, which is a lot better than Sears for a starting pay. BUT... you cannot work for ANY other photo studio NOR be selling your own photos on the side, and like, the girl who was interviewing me said she even kept her hobby with photography hush-hush because she didn't want it to get her fired.
What? D:
So like, when she saw on my resume that I knew Photoshop and Lightroom, she was really excited about that because she could learn from me, but she didn't DARE let me really talk about it there because, once again, not allowed. Could get ya fired.
What the hell Walmart.
And like, me having my own business would be a HUGE no-no. She said she'd pretend she didn't hear that, but like... I'm not risking that. Because then I would have been fired for breaking my contract should they find out. NOT COOL.
Damn Walmart... they're going to ruin the reputation of photographers now.
Right now they have this promotion going on that you can get 30 portraits for $4.95, PLUS, if you do it THAT DAY, you get a free 8x10. But THAT DAY ONLY... all week. vv; I'm sorry, but that's just shit production. And it just goes to show you that Walmart is such a rich franchise that they don't have to charge a lot.
And like... if I'm a THREAT to them because I'm doing my own thing on the side... just wow. Basically, they want to stop small business... which I already knew from the Walmart video.
I didn't want to work for them before, and I REALLY don't want to work for them now. I'm sorry, but you are a BIG FREAKING FRANCHISE. You do NOT need to prohibit competition that way. I wouldn't even be able to work at Sears part time and stuff.
So, even though they would do a bit better pay and hour wise... screw it. it's just not worth the hassle and contracts and bull shit.
And if you're interested in the Walmart video: http://www.walmartmovie.com/
So if I knew Walmart sucked, why'd I apply?
Because the assholes tricked me. I saw an ad on Craigslist for Picture Me Portrait Studio... and it said NOTHING about having affiliation with Walmart.
DAMN YOU FOR THE DECEPTION WALMART! *shakefist*

That sounds like a really bad deal, Saki. I wouldn't have taken the job with them either. WalMart is an evil, evil corporation that operates more like a cult. My husband's brother works for them and I've heard some stories... Hopefully something else will work out for you, even if it has to just be the Sears job for now. Don't let anyone take away your creativity and stop you from pursuing your dreams. It's just not worth it.
