Wal-Mart Salaries, Bonuses and Benefits.

What are the average starting salaries, bonuses, benefits and travel requirements like at Wal-Mart?

What do you like best about working at Wal-Mart? Are there any great perks or special treats for employees?

As of April 2007, most floor associates start out at $7.30/hr.

DO NOT LET THEM TRICK YOU INTO STICKING AT THE REGISTER DURING A CODE C (Attention all Wal*Mart Associates! At this time, we do have a code c! We need all register trained associates to the front end!)

The reason I say this is because W*M cashiers get paid $2 more per hour! You're doing their job for them and you're not getting paid what you should (unless you're full time, which most associates aren't)

I need to be working like yesterday

How much do a Store Manager at a supercenter make & a Customer Service Manager.

Different wages. My mom worked as Cash Office Manager and made 18.00 a hour.

i worked at wal mart in georgia. loved my job. the pay was great. i got 4 raises in 3 years. the bonus's where nice. the only complaint i have is the head manager in the hinesville ga wall mart.(ted sales), very rude man. dont no how he got that job. he is not a people's person. wal mart is a place to work.

WHAT IS THE SALARY RANGE FOR A STARTING ASSISTANT MANAGER AT WAL-MART? THANK YOU.

I will never ever spend any money in a wal-mart......ever. Or Sam's and I've told my friends, family and every cashier I do business with to boycott WalMart! They are not good for America. Target is better even though they're owned by the French. Don't patronize Walmart!

I have worked at Wal-Hell for 7 years. I fought my way up from grunt to meat dept manager. Now im going into the manager trainee program to be an assiant manager. I have been cussed at, punnished for standing up for my self, My hours changed and lowered to force me to quit. I did not. I fought them and worked my self to the bone for I take pride in my work even if does not take pride in me. I now have the best meat market in my district and I make around 17 an hour. That will double soon. What I am saying is the way that place works is "if your lazy and do good one day you have improved" "If you bust your butt and slow down for a day because your burnt and its your friday and you had to take a five hour lunch to burn overtime, your productivity has gone down" but the first you stay where you are, the later you start making the big money if you can handle the abuse. Not realy a good thing but if you can take it then it will be. Its the worst job Ive ever loved..

amen to that!!!!

We definitely didn't make $2 more an hour than floor associates, not there anyway.

I believe that Marketside is the future of the past where shoppers can not wait to shop and feel like they are in a small hometown grocery/cafe and everyone knows you. It has more potential then what has been advertised or announched. The best is yet to come. No more walking the entire store for one item as it is traditionally set with super giants of today. "This is not the future....the future is endless with Marketside"

WM cashiers dont get paid $2/hr more than salesfloor, it's only one pay grade up.
Which is about .30-.40/hr more.

A store manager's salary ranges from $80-$110K/yr, depending on sales volume. A customer service manager could make maybe $10-$12/hr. Asst Mgrs start at $43K/yr and cap at $63K. CoMgrs base is $65K/yr.

Asst Mgr starting salary now is $43K as of 2007.

Actually Customer Service managers start at $12.10 and cap at $20.

Wow, that's so negative..and false. They are just one pay class above you, as someone has posted and you work for Wal Mart...plain and simple. Customer service should be a team effort. If those customers don't get checked out and get frustrated and walk out because the lines are soooo long guess who that affects? You! There goes your bonus...

I dont understand Why sales associate get paids less but we do more work and have to deal with all the Management Bull stuff.

sales assciate start 6.60 - 7.20 big money

started as sales associate 9.30 phr
.60 raise 3 months, .40 raise 12 months, 1.10 raise promotion to department manager. .50 raise annual. now at 11.90.
9.3 was top pay for sales associate 2 years ago in vegas, what about your area?

Kenny W in Jacksonville, Florida said: And WHY is Wal-Mart bad for America???? I've got to hear this.

WalMart is BAD For America!! They sell crap and treat their employees like crap. Some butt kissers can work well there.....maybe, until a new manager steps in to disrupt their little crap world.

This is simply not true. Cashiers get paid only about .30 more per hour, and you are not doing their job for them. You are helping for a short period of time. If you want to get the extra .30, then you can sign up to be a cashier. But of course nobody wants to do that because a cashier's job is undesirable. That is why they get the extra .30 per hour.

How long do you have to be at Wal-mart to get the bonus that is going out with the next check. I've been here since last may and I didn't get the one in September so..........

TClarkeWasHere in Burnt Hills, New York said: Thank you and I know my store is getting the bonus, and is it 6 months from when they actually hire you or six months from when you actually start because they hired me and i didn't do the orientation for like two weeks because of finals for college and a death in the family.

i believe it is six months from when they hire you and you have to be at that six month point before the begining of the quarter.

I have been working at walmart for a year now I make 9.60 an hour as an sales assoicate and your right no matter what you do if you dont do everything they want your productivity has gone down ... OMG I am sick and tired of this lil fat beast of a woman wobbling to me telling me about my productivity!!! And the Co - Manager says the same thing productivity SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! What do you expect I'm doing your front end , working freight in your departments, zoning, picks and answering the damn phone!!! You have to run when you work at Walmart and abuse customers because the task at hand is more important ... Lord and the holidays were hell!!! The store I work at just opened this year and I don't know if it is new Management but it horrible!! But like eveybody who had been there for so long just accept the abuse and you will get paid! Plan and simple!! Just accept the fact that they will degrade you and bring you down and make you feel like poop!!!

HA! I am sick and tired of all these employers. So, I went and got a CDL, now I make $1000 a week, full bennys and retirement with nobody watching over me. And the $$ will only get better as I am still "green" (Under 6 months) So go ahead and stay in your narrow minded occupations, get crapped on by corporates. I have had it. My degree means nothing in this economy anyway. I should have done this long ago. Sick of the layoffs, family BS, attitudes, all of it. So I drive, and will continue to do so.

I got a call from wal-mart yesterday and got an interview today however I got to the interview and they didnt tell me what it was for till almost the end and its for isc? or something basically the inventory supervisory person... I assumed i was going to the interview for asst. manager since that is what i am currently and I applied for it onlien thats the only reason they even have my contact info... I have a MBA... i mean do they even look at the stuff i put online because it says how much i want to earn and I am guessing this position is going to be paying 11 maybe 12 a hour... or am i wrong?

does anyone know?

kabooki19 in Albany, New York said: actually I didn't even apply for this position I applied for asst. manager but since they dont hire outside (which they told me) they told me about this job. The reason I don't remember is because they only told me it one time when I was there.

Besides, why do you have to be so rude? I asked a question and just because I typed fast and my figure hit the e before n on one word I can't spell?!

I was hired as an Assistant Manager from the outside - they lied to you....

gojohnnygo in Kansas said: I have been reading the Walmart threads because I am trying to get a job there. I love doing manual labor and like to get along with people in a team sort of way.

I was layed off from the engineering field last Dec due to economic reasons(employer lacked orders and was forced to lay off - common in my field and this is probably the 4th time in 25 years for me). The engineering field is not all bed and roses. You sit behind a computer all day and tend to go stir crazy. Co-workers can be very critical of each other, often times come off as condensing know it alls, and very hard to get along with on a personal level. It all cycles into low morale creating an non-productive enviroment. I'm sure my inabilty to sit behind a computer all day and get along with know it alls while remaining a happy camper has some to do with me on the layoff lists.

I'm curious if working at Walmart means getting to work with people who are easy to get along with. I mean do you guys meet after work for some fun? Stuff like that? That to me means a productive enviroment.

I'm in the engineering field as well and I'm looking for a career change as well. I could have written your post myself. Good luck in your search.

I actually got started at 7.40 a few days ago as a cashier which is 80 cent more then associates on the floor. Cashiering actually isn't that bad, I didn't think so at first but I'm actually starting to enjoy it. I like talking to the customers and helping them with their merchandise.

I've worked for Wal-Mart four years and I earn almost $12.00 an hour. Im in school and that is the only reason i stick it out. I hate my job. The customers are the boss and can talk to you like crap, but you have to take shut up and take it. The managers are also very rude and will fire anyone over any little thing. I have personally seen wemon get fired because men flirt and they refuse to flirt back, so it becomes a customer complaint. Also, there is so much butt kissing that its simply ridiculous. This particular company will use you then trow you away, like trash. Wal-Mart is a career strickly for under acheivers who don't have high school diplomas because they don't need an education to move up. Many associates are friendly, but it's the customers,management, and company rules that make this job undesirable. If you want a life time of being talked down to by customers and management, working every weekend, threated at every moment to be fired (due to your availability, sick time, opinions, ect.), scratching and struggling to move up and stay up in the company, being physically drained every day, and not appreciated then walmart the career for you.

I been with WAL*MART for 1 year. I started as a tech in TLE with no experience. My pay $8.20 I was promoted to Service Manager after 2 months. I got a 80 cent raise. When I got the position our bay time was right over an our per vehicle and our add on sales were almost non existent! After a month our bay time was at 22 minutes and our add on sales were at %19 month to date. We were never recognized for our improvement! I just got my evaluation. I was told that I only meet expectations because of bay time and add on sales. My store has one of the best baytimes and add on percentage in the market! I was only given a 40 cent raise! THE IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN OUR SHOP OVER THE PAST YEAR HAVE MADE WALMART THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A DAY! I DESERVE MORE THAN 40 CENTS PER HOUR RAISE!

I have been with wal-mart for over 25 years. I used to really believe in the company and their beliefs. Walmart does spend a lot of time and money to do good for their communites. However I do believe all these horror stories are true-I have seen it. I dont think associates are being treated fairly. The field pay classes with caps suck!!!! Taking pay away from associates sucks!!! You can actually have 30 above standard evaluations in your personnel file and never get another raise!!!

AllyO in Arizona said: First of all, I have to say that no one can make you go into debt other than yourself. If you are so unhappy at a job, then leave! It's very frustrating when people act like their jobs are holding them hostage. You can leave at any point that you want. You have that choice. You had the choice to apply for a job, interview for it, accept the job, and continue working there. So why stay if you're so miserable?

And just an FYI for anyone who is that ignorant...but Target is not owned by the french. It was started and still is an American based company. It was started by two brothers, which originally started Hudson's/Marshall Fields, and eventually Target. Some people will believe anything that gets spread on the internet...do your research.

Well first of all you can go in debt faster than you think and it may be no fault of your own! Try not working for 6 months after your employer closes and live on unemployment and see how out of debt you are allyo ! I made over 50 grand a year and can't find fulltime employment! Now my wife is unemployed also we made a combined income of almost 80 grand a year with 3 children under the age of 6 it's really tight! Welcome to the real world ! I had a union job before we closed ! I hear a lot of unions bash walmart but bottom line is i have to feed my family ! My union with the exception of our local lodge, did very little at the international rep. level but raise our dues and garuantee us a 3% raise every year of our contract ! There are good unions out there don't get me wrong but most have become big businesses with coporate greed

Wal Mart seems a good place to work. Often I see workers on break, enjoying a smoke. Sometimes I've seen the men have a good old fashioned arse slapping on the women, but I'm sure all in fun.

Actually store managers can see closer to $200k anually

I retired from Walmart Dec 3, 2009 after retiring from the US Army,
A ford dealership. (retired 3) I was a sales associate in the Garden Center ($11.31 per hour) Not the most money I ever made.
However, I enjoyed working there. I was treated fairly and would recommend Walmart to someone looking for a job and survive on their wages.

a CDL is a Commercial Driver's License. It's what you need to drive a semi truck.

I am currently a cashier in Kansas, but plan to move to the Tampa Fl area this summer. What do cashiers make down there?

Retired3 in malone, Texas said: I just retired from WM my store starts sales associate with no work experience @ 7.80 per hour.

What would the salary be for a store manager in the New York / New Jersey area, let's say volume of between 35 million and 60 million?

Oh... and I have received 2 raises so far. Both have been above average. Though I know how to rate high in a job as a cashier, and a job as a electronics sales associate... I am still trying to figure out the problem solving techniques that woudl make me a good leader.

:-)

I hope my post helps others the way that 5th, GraySkyGuy, Steve Walker... and Retired 3 helped me.

No job will give more to you then what you put into it. A buisness that does otherwise will not stay successful!

I just got hired by Walmart and I will be doing dairy on 3rd shift 10-7
I am just looking to be productive & stay busy....I'm 47 and have had higher paying jobs to only have them shut down.

I hope it's everything I think it CAN & COULD be.
Sure....I would like to make as much money as possible if the opportunity is there for me.

Anyone else ever work dairy / frozen goods stocking shelves ?
Any pointers ?
I also love being able to transfer to another store if need be.

I was recently hired as a cashier at Walmart and despite my previous reservations, I'm rather optimistic. I've been out of work since July and am happy to finally be earning an income again, as well as working third shift which better accommodates my children's school schedule and eliminates the need to pay for babysitters/daycare. I can sleep while the kids are at school and they're in bed by the time I leave for work. Sure, I'm not making what I used to, but the cut in daycare expenses helps a great deal. Plus, the store is much closer than the 40 minute commute I used to make. Also, I don't have to deal with higher ups who have no clue or don't care what it means to have children, let alone consider how costly and frustrating it is to maintain a 9-5 job with kids in grade school! Not all of us can afford to be stay at home Mom's!

There's a lot of room to move up within the company, something that I've always found difficult in smaller organizations. I'm a Navy Vet, and I loved the continual advancement opportunities that were available, so long as you followed the rules and exceeded the status quo. You don't always find that in the corporate arena and advancement usually would mean an advanced education, or having to move from one company to the next. With the recent job market, not having a degree can really hurt you, but having one can't guarantee a job either; and I can't justify getting into a huge debt for an education that may not pay off. After reading the posts about salaries for managerial positions, I'm pleasantly surprised and think I might actually give it a chance. Sure, it sucks being the new guy, and you have your butt kissers, your malcontents, etc. Those are everywhere, and in every work environment. What I do know: Walmart pays better than a nearby factory for entry level third-shift positions, and they have no Union involvement. They can't be all bad. I just wish I had considered it sooner.

I've been working for Wal-Mart for nearly six years. Started out as an overnight dairy stocker. In less than two years became dairy department manager. In less than another two years I applied for a store planning position and became a Field Project Supervisor (salaried with per diem and great yearly bonus) on remodels. It's been another two years and I decided that was enough traveling for me, so I applied for the assistant program when an opening came up at my home store. Just Friday I was offered the position. In the end I'll probably make less total pay as an assistant than what I get now, but I'll be home and there's no place . . . You can make a good living once you get into salaried management and if you work hard and follow policy you can advance quickly. Working conditions will vary from store to store. For me, the company has been great. I have teaching degrees and a long time ago worked for UPS. It's not a place for slackers, complainers or people who just live to be negative. I'm very happy to be where I am with this company and would honestly recommend it to anyone willing to work and learn.

Hello:
I was a Store Mgr for WM until last year. I lived for that company, but I noticed that the company did no longer lived for their associates.
The Store Mgr Salaries vary depending on the store volume. I noticed some people published some numbers that are closed to the real ones but it seems that they heard them from someone else.
Now you get to hear this form the horse's mouth (Who made most of those salaries).
Store Mgr <$40 million $73,000/yr
Store Mgr $40-$80 million $88,000/yr
Store Mgr >$80 million $104.000/yr
the bonuses vary by tier if you do threshold of your plan (95% avg), plan (100%), Max(102.5%) and Super Max (105%).
These bonuses also vary depending on your pay scale, for example a Store Mgr under 40 million will have a Super Max (105 % performance ) of 85% of the salary, while the $40-$80 will have 105% and the over $80 will have $115% (Thats a bonus of 119,000 approx taxed at a 41%).
The values vary by metro locations, if you work at a nationallly considered metropolitan area you make $10,000 more per year and you are eligible for RPZ (Regional Pay Zone) for cost of living.
Shift Mgrs (Formerly Co Mgrs) Make $60,000 per year non metro and $65,000 per year metro with a super max bonus of 45%.
Asst Mgrs start at $38,000 and are able to get raises till they reach $54,500 with a super max bonus of $15%.
I began my career as overnight stocker and unloader while attending college. Once I graduated I became an ASM (back them the salaries began at 32),then Co and Store Mgr. I stayed 10 years and moved on to other ventures.

NIcholas Owen Harris in Nashville, Tennessee said: Actually store managers can see closer to $200k anually

Yes, but that is if you make your bonus to the super max. You will get $219,000. If not you will live with $104,000 if you are at a high volume store....

Tim said: What would the salary be for a store manager in the New York / New Jersey area, let's say volume of between 35 million and 60 million?

Under 40 million is $73,000, if you are metro it will be $83,000 plust RPZ.
Over 60 to 80 it will be $88,000.
