Like many other retail store jobs, as long as you pass a background check and have nothing which presents a potential problem to an employer, you will eventually get hired at Wal Mart if you are persistent enough.
Here, if you play your cards right, you'll have an excellent chance at moving up the ladder of success fairly quickly. For example, it isn't uncommon for an associate to work their way up to assistant manager, then eventually store manager within 4-5 years if they work hard and prove themselves worthy.
If you're hoping to become a Walmart pharmacist, they make it easy for you through their excellent internship program which is tailored to each student's level of education.
Be on the lookout in your hometown: WM periodically holds recruiting events to fill their company needs and to provide job opportunities to communities at a totally different and much more efficient level. These usually take place before and during store openings.
The job benefits at Walmart are pretty standard but there are a few extras.
As a WM associate you get:
A ton of discounts on their website, walmartbenefits.com such as movie tickets, etc
A ten percent discount on vegetables and fruits
A ten percent discount on all merchandise
An excellent 401 k profit sharing plan - they contribute by placing money into your plan even if you don't contribute any of your salary to your own 401k
You can submit a Walmart job application either online or by visiting the store in person and using the computer kiosk usually located in the front of the store or near the employee service areas. Need an hourly job? Search over 100,000 part-time and full-time hourly positions on SnagAJob.com.
