The position offers competitive pay with an hourly wage range of $18.00 to $26.00, which may include additional performance incentives and premiums depending on specific work conditions. Walmart provides an extensive benefits package that includes medical, vision, and dental coverage, 401(k), company-paid life insurance, paid time off, and education benefits through Live Better U.
