“The richest family in America is the Walton family who are worth $152 billion “
They brag about the fact they’ve hired 60,000 veterans, but they won’t pay them more than $9.00 and hour.
That sounds so whiny and liberal. At least they have jobs and if they have the gumption they won’t be working anywhere for long at minimum wage, they will go onward and upward.
For most, Walmart is not a career, it is a stepping stone for the ambitious and a dead end for those who can do nothing else.
glad you joined FR - july 8th
So... Macdonalds?- big O’bummercare subsidies- think

reid,pelosi ,GORE etc
Welcome to FR.
Why do you have to make such a snarky remark about the Walton family? They’ve done a lot for veterans and they’ve provided jobs for thousands of them. You sound like a liberal. You’d want Waltons to give them hand-outs?
“They brag about the fact they’ve hired 60,000 veterans, but they won’t pay them more than $9.00 and hour.”
That is pure BS...
That is for someone who starts as a sales associate with no work experience.
Pay scales differ in each state, and even by area within a state. The pay is also based on the how much the Walmart store makes. The more money the store makes, the more money you make.
Some cashiers make as much as $18.00 an hour based on number of years worked.
A cash office manager makes $18.00 a hour also based on number of years worked.
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.

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.

No one forced those veterans to take a job at Walmart. I’m a veteran. I don’t expect any special treatment. Don’t want a minimum wage job? Get more schooling, certificates, qualifications, etc. and get a better job. Don’t blame the Waltons for maximizing profits. That’s what you do in a Capitalist system.
