Walmart is hiring up to 50 associates for order filling positions to support its Hammond distribution center.
The company is looking to fill the positions after reporting very strong sales increases, both online and in stores, during the company’s February earnings announcement.
Tim Cooper, senior vice president for Walmart’s U.S. Supply Chain says their grocery distribution centers are critical to helping ensure local stores have what customers need to feed their families. Across the country, the company is planning to hire thousands of new Walmart Supply Chain associates, including up to 50 at the Hammond distribution center. Some applicants will have the opportunity to receive on-the-spot conditional job offers.
Wages for full-time hourly associates start at $17.05 per hour and can reach more than $18.40 an hour based on position, shift and schedule. All positions are considered full time- qualifying for benefits, including medical, vision and dental insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, a quarterly incentive program and access to a college degree for $1 a day.
