Odds of Walmart Job Transfer To a Small PA Town From Out-Of-State (Pittsburgh: college, income)

[eclipticX]

Wonder what the odds are of a walmart job transfer to a small town in PA from out-of-state.
Maybe a transfer to a small walmart in Corry, or Meadville...a 1 entrance walmart?

Been considering a transfer from an out-of-state walmart to a small town walmart in say Corry, Meadville, or some other small town in WPA or SWPA--yeah I know it isn't a glamorous job, but it's a job.

Given the small towns size and smaller size of walmarts that take residence in them, I would assume a small walmart would not have jobs open for transfer, as a small town job is probably coveted by the locals, even if it is walmart, bar disagreements with mgrs and other circumstances.

Just wondering because I can pick several walmarts for transfer and don't want to waste a pick on a walmart that is never hiring or taking transfers.

Thanks for reading and perhaps someone has always wanted to ask this same question but hasn't.

Yeah I kind of expected no responses.
A snide remark or even a hunch would be better than nothing I guess...oh well.

I would imaigine the reason you haven't had a response is that most people don't know Wal-Mart's transfer policies. And you posted at damn near Midnight.

I would reconsider Corry and Meadville, or really any place in the northern part of PA. If you're from North Carolina you have no idea about what winter in PA really means.

as for policy,NBP is right-you'd have to ask Walmart.


If you do get a transfer, make sure you also get a raise. PA costs more than NC.

And don't ever apologize for doing honest work . There's nothing wrong with working at Walmart. Or McDonalds or any of the other places people make fun of.

Agreed. I have a college degree and deliver food. My partner has TWO degrees and is a mailroom clerk. Until the recession ends we're going to have a lot of underemployed people in this country doing whatever it takes to survive, and it's noble that people are willing to work at Wal-Mart, McDonald's, etc. instead of sitting in their boxers on the couch collecting government assistance. Many of the same people who would look down at someone for working at Wal-Mart are the same ones who have never had to struggle financially.

I'm not from NC, but do live here now.
I'm from Rome, NY area and I miss LE snow.

I think Asheville, NC can be pretty expensive too.
But heating costs are much lower.

Well said, but even people working these lower income jobs often need some additional assistance from the gov nipple. Sucks too.

If you were to transfer to a Wal-Mart somewhere like Waynesburg or Uniontown, you could easily live in a small city or a small town not far from those two areas. Plus cost of living is relatively low. I don't imagine jobs would be difficult to get at either location and you would be about an hour or so from Pittsburgh if you ever wanted to go to a larger city

Thanks.
I think there is 'super-max' prison in or just east of Waynesburg. I wouldn't want to be near that kind of vibe. Uniontown looks nice, though.
