According to store manager William Venable, the store will be hiring both full- and part-time associates. “Walmart is a company with many opportunities for professional growth, and we are looking for hard-working associates to build our team."
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 six 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 September to help prepare the store for its grand opening.
