The wages aren't that good at Walmart, which means there are a lot of unhappy employees. Walmart has been the subject of much controversy over the years. People who shop at Walmart seem to think Walmart is a wonderful place, but some Walmart employees look down on the company. Sometimes consumers never know what's going on within a given company, other than what they hear, but they have no idea how unfair the company that employs them may be. The controversy at Walmart had sparked lawsuits in all directions. Walmart is being sued or has been sued for many reasons, including gender discrimination, racist comments, price discrepancies, and failure to provide safety and security.

Benefits at Walmart are difficult to obtain, meaning employees can't get insurance or health benefits to cover their medical costs. In recent years, Walmart has been sued by employees as well as customers. Some employees claim they have been discriminated against. for gender, race and a number of other reasons, so they filed lawsuits against the company. Walmart claimed it did no harm to its employees or customers, saying they thrive on making employees and keeping their customers happy.

Lawsuits seem to surround Walmart in every sense of the paper... due to the fact that Walmart employees sometimes have access to the credit cards and PINs of people with disabilities.
