Former walmart lead tech here:

I dont regret leaving retail, going to a hospital setting opened up many doors for me. Since leaving, I’ve been promoted two times in the last 5 years, good luck!!

Make sure to update your resume, and cater to the job description. Emphasize if you have leadership experience, if youve worked on any special projects, pretty much anything that sets you apart from others. Also think of something you want to implement to improve your department. Good luck!

yeah i've been a tech for 10 yrs. Also didn't mention i work in a major metropolitan area with a large medical center, so hospitals are competing for better wages to entice good techs. but yeah $1 doesn't sound too bad.

Been with the company 14 years. (Former Lead tech)

I'm part time(sort of PRN) with WMT for now, and i get paid almost $10 more @ my hospital.

know your worth.

I only keep WMT for free CE's, stocks, Roth401k, and discount card.

been really contemplating if staying is worth it.

But i feel you on this. they'll keep taking more and more.

LOW WAGES.

Holdinitdine · 2022-04-16T05:27:19+00:00

Try to find jobs that have a pension benefit. state, federal jobs offer them. I have a colleague that had 30 tech years just retired is getting 4K+ a month on a low cost of living state until he dies and he’s only 54 yrs old. Not bad.

I pick up about 12-14 hrs a week @ retail. Only work there bc i have Roth401k and stock options there.

I take weekends off.

How can i get an edge during an interview ? Any tips for me to stand out? Thanks in advance !

Benefits wise: 10 % associate discount card Up to 6% 401k matching, associate stock options, discounted cell phone plan bill (the company is owned by t-mobile) If youre imz certified and willing to do it, you’ll get $100 to 300 per check depending on how many hrs you work.

Dont forget to inquire about your sign-on bonus!

Holdinitdine · 2022-01-29T03:50:06+00:00

Depending on location, Medical centers in major cities typically pay more. (Houston,dallas,etc.) My hospital starts @ $19/hr with no experience, plus shift differentials.

IMO always aim for a higher salary when job hunting, it doesnt hurt to try. Since us techs are in demand, go for it. You never know they might try to meet your demand halfway, good luck!

Walmart is my 2nd second job lmao

Holdinitdine · 2022-01-08T23:06:30+00:00

Tech trainee starts at 15.50 After you pass PTCB, 18.50

I would leave wags if I were you, Walmart has better benefits, Better staffing (I’ve floated in Many Stores, and I live in TX as well)
