Looking for a job at ? This is what the retail giant is paying its employees.
Walmart revealed its U.S. store managers are making an average of $175,000 a year while full-time hourly workers are earning about $14.26 per hour, according to the company’s 2019 Environmental, Social & Governance report released Wednesday. The company hires more than 1 million people in the U.S.
Newly hired employees, however, will start at $11 per hour or more — above the federal minimum wage rate at $7.25 per hour, according to the report. Key department managers can start earning as much as $24.70 per hour.
175k a year?????
Damn. I should have asked for a big pay raise before I retired.
Do you think I can get a job managing a store in just my thong?
After seeing so many…interesting…photos of the People of Walmart, I think they should stop hiring greeters and instead hire bouncers.
Retail jobs are very much needed in our economy. You need a good attitude, to show up for work and on time and do the job. People do not like the work because it is shift work and working on weekends. However, my nephew started working at Superstore here in Canada at the age of 16, in the deli department. He showed up for work, did the job, has great people skills and so was rotated through other areas of the store. At the age of 29, he is being trained up to become a store manager. He graduated with honours from high school, but could not decide on a course of studies for university. I think that is a good thing, as he is doing very well in the retail sector and has saved lots of money.
“175k a year?????”
😮 😮 😮
I’m in the WRONG line of work! 😳
Nothings wrong about working a Wal-Mart except I’d be going to Wal-Mart everyday…..I will, however, volunteer to refold jeans and T-shirts at home for 80K a year…..
There’s a sign in Key West that says
“We’re closer to Cuba than Wal-mart”
Havana..90 Miles…Homestead Wallyworld…135…I skip the Homestead
Store….Because…It’s a bit “too” interesting for Me.
just logged back onto FB…and Bamm!!! a Wal-mart Ad…Creepy.
Same as making $50k in 1979.
Yea, $175k today isn’t much.
Growing up in 1979 $1,000,000 meant something.
Today you’d have to have $3,500,000 to equal the same thing.
Unless of course your primary focus was 4k 80″ TVs back in 1979.
The article missed a few finer points. Like how the GM’s total compensation includes the annual bonus based on the business the store does. Same with ‘associates’ – at a lower level – who work there a year or longer. Tends to encourage stability (don’t laugh, any of you who’ve been at the mercy of a team leader deficient in logic) and discourages shrinkage. Really, it’s not a bad place to work. Like anywhere else, it’s what you make of it. Of course, picking a good area to work out of is pretty important. Some are like a capitalist version of Lord of the Flies with a customer base to match. Others are like downscale department stores. Local, local, local.
I did some time in a WM when I came off the road for a bit. I viewed it as the same kind of method used to incorporate cons back into society. Overnights is a weird shift. But employee discount. The manager was surprised and thanked me for turning in my discount card when I left. Apparently that was an exception.
They start people at just about $13 an hr here. But they have cameras everywhere. Even in the break room.
Beachmom, there could very well be a camera watching you right now. SmartTV, Smart Phone, computer, game boy, X-box, pretendo, they are all watching. The break room, that’s just a start.
I wouldn’t put down my tumbler of vodka for $175,000.
I make that every couple of minutes.
Everyone who works at walmart looks like they are wishing for death.
Oh yeah. i wanna work where it makes you look like that!
