Deliver for a Great Holiday Season and Beyond (Graphic: Business

To help busy families focus on what matters most this season,
we’ll be welcoming approximately 40,000 additional associates in a
variety of seasonal and full-time roles across our business. That
will include:
- Seasonal store associates to provide an outstanding experience
for customers however they want to shop, whether that’s in-store or
using our pickup and delivery services.
- Full-time, permanent truck drivers, who keep our company moving
year-round.
- Customer Care associates to make sure there’s a knowledgeable,
friendly voice on the other end of the line in our customer call
centers this season.
As we prepare to serve customers this season, we’ll begin, as
usual, by offering additional hours to current associates who want
them. In fact, it’s never been easier for part-time associates to
pick up extra shifts and build their own schedules with the
flexibility they want. After that, we’ll offer the opportunity for
those who want to earn extra money working on a temporary
basis.
Whether an associate begins working at Walmart during the
holidays or at another time of year, they can count on finding
opportunity and benefits at every turn.
Merry and Bright Futures: Career Pathways Like No
Other
Many associates begin working at Walmart thinking they’ll be
here for a few months, only to find that our culture of training,
development and growth can’t be beat.
Whether it’s Walmart paying 100% of the cost of college tuition
and books through Live Better U, skill development through our
Walmart Academies or our focus on promoting from within, one thing
is clear: There's a path for everyone at Walmart.
And we’re committed to helping you get going – on average,
entry-level associates promote to positions of higher wages and
more responsibility in just seven months.
In fact, 75% of our U.S. salaried management team in stores,
clubs and supply chain began their careers as hourly associates,
including our CEO Doug McMillon and Walmart U.S. CEO John Furner,
to name a few. We have a long history of promoting from within, and
I’m proud that it continues to be a core part of our culture.
Spreading Cheer All Year: Walmart Benefits for Total
Well-being
For associates who choose to build a career here, working at
Walmart means access to a package of benefits that allow eligible
associates and their families to take care of their physical,
financial and emotional well-being. A few examples:
- Medical coverage starts at $31.40 per paycheck and includes
virtual health care programs and access to some of the best
specialists and facilities in the country.
- No-cost, confidential counseling sessions with licensed
professionals are available to all associates.
- Walmart offers a PTO policy that allows associates to plan for
life outside of work, including paid sick leave.
- For qualifying associates, we also offer a 401(k) match and an
associate stock purchase plan match.
At the end of the day, it’s about providing peace of mind for
associates and their families. You can learn more about Walmart
benefits here.
‘Tis Always the Season for Investing in Associates
We invest in associate pay year-round, including in roles that
help us deliver a great holiday season.
Our U.S. average wage is more than $17 an hour, with many
associates earning more based on role and market.
In the last several months, we’ve raised pay in areas ranging
from Pharmacy technicians to truck drivers, not to mention we’re
building a path to the driver’s seat for our associates through our
Private Fleet Development program.
