According to store manager Deryk Cogdill, the store will be hiring both full- and part-time associates. “Walmart jobs are more than just simply ‘a job’—these jobs can lead to great career opportunities,” Cogdill said. “Walmart will work with you to help you excel. I started out as a cart pusher and now I’m managing a brand new Walmart Neighborhood Market.”
Walmart provides a benefits program to eligible full- and part-time associates. For example, it provides a variety of affordable health and well-being benefits including health-care coverage with no lifetime maximum. Walmart also offers eligible associates matching 401(k) contributions of up to 6 percent of pay, discounts on general merchandise, an Associate Stock Purchase Program and company-paid life insurance. Additionally, eligible associates receive a quarterly incentive based on store performance.
The majority of new associates will begin work in August to help prepare the store for its grand opening, a spokesman said.
Veterans must be within 12 months of active duty and meet Walmart’s standard hiring criteria, according to the spokesman.
