Financial Perspective Wal-Mart

I need a response to this discussion post:

The company that I chose to research on for this discussion week is Wal-Mart, the financial perspective is second nature to them. Customers perspective would be their number one perspective. This was Mr. Sam Walton vision from the very first day. If I had to put Wal-Mart perspective in order I would say that customer perspective, financial perspective and business perspective. 

The down fall for this company is the raises or the lack there of. Giving all their new employees a jump in raise was outstanding, but in the same stroke they cut hours really drastically in order to equalize or offset the big raises. This step really damage a lot of the warm fuzzy feeling that use to be there from their older employees. Wal-Mart has been considered one of the most hated companies in America and money issues did not help change to many minds.
