• Customer Interaction: Greeting every guest with a smile, answering questions, and providing a sincere “thank you” as they head out.

• Transaction Management: Accurately scanning items, processing various payment types, and bagging merchandise with care.

• Problem Solving: Being ready to assist with price checks or directing customers to the right aisle.

• Physical Stamina: Staying active and standing at your station for the duration of your shift.

What’s in it for You?

• Competitive Pay: Starting between $16 and $29/hr, depending on experience and specific shift premiums (which can add $0.35 to $3.00 extra per hour).

• Performance Bonuses: Eligibility for annual or quarterly incentives based on store and individual success.

• Debt-Free Education: Through Live Better U, Walmart pays 100% of your tuition and books for everything from English Language Learning to Bachelor’s degrees.

• Health & Financial Security: Access to medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, and a discounted stock purchase plan.

• Time for Life: Paid time off (PTO) and Protected PTO (PPTO) for sick leave or vacations, plus paid parental and family care leave.

Compensation Breakdown & Premium Potential

Your hourly rate is just the starting point. Walmart utilizes a tiered premium system to reward associates for working specific shifts or high-demand seasons.

• Ergonomic Scanning: Use the “power zone” (between waist and chest) to scan items, reducing strain on your wrists and back.

• Spill Management: Quickly identifying and flagging spills in the checkout lane to prevent slips.

• Fraud Prevention: Staying alert during payment processing to protect both the customer and the store from unauthorized transactions.
