Thank you, Walmart

One thing people often fail to mention when bashing WalMart is that their health insurance has no lifetime cap whatsoever. It is geared more towards taking care of catostrophic illness instead of just running to the doctor every time you have a little sniffle.

Now, Walmart does not provide wages or benefits as good as Costco. But they do give more pay and benefits than the other discounters. Walmarts pay and benefits are much, much better than Targets. Just as an example - Walmart pays up to $2.00 an hour extra for working the overnight shift (depending on locations) while Target does not pay anything extra for working overnight.

Target is just as evil, or even more evil than Walmart. They just don't get all the publicity that is focused on Walmart because they are the 800 pound gorilla.

I worked at Target for three years in high school. When I worked over night, I got paid $2 more an hour. Not to mention they bent over backwards to get people to sign up for health care, held employee seminars and picnics to get people informed about their retirement and healthcare plans.

Oh, and they also gave us cost of living adjustments three times in the time I worked there. I also got scheduled raises so that by the time I left after my three years, I was making nearly 10 bucks an hour.
