I was an employee at the photo-center at walmart. I had no problems training any of the new employees until about December 2010. We got a new member to our team but her mother was the personnel manager and at least half of the assistant managers, including the one who interviewed her, were family friends. So of course she got the job. Training her was very hard. She fought us and didn't listen. She wouldn't help customers or answer the phones. She would make us do everything and when she got left alone, when things went wrong she would call other Photolab employees at home, even once they have quit their job. She gets very irritable around customers and isn't clear when she answers their questions. She gets away with a lot of stuff that everyone else in the lab would get in trouble for. She has more freedom in her work schedule than any of us did as well. For the first 3 weeks she came in whenever she wanted to, whereas everyone had gotten their schedule the first week they got there. I don't believe that she should be allowed to work their unless she gets treated like other employees. Customers had complained about her a couple times, normally a manager would have confronted the employee for this concern and even coached that employee.
