Benefits
Wal-Mart’s success is the direct result of the dedication of our associates, and we reward their hard work with benefits that work for them. Our benefits include more than medical coverage and a competitive pay package: we offer associates retirement savings plans, pharmacy benefits, the opportunity to share in bonuses and valuable discounts at our stores. Take a moment to explore the many benefits that a position with Wal-Mart affords.
Medical Coverage
Every associate who works in the United States can become eligible for individual health coverage costing as little as $5 per month in some areas and as little as $8 per month nationwide. As soon as an associate becomes eligible for benefits, their children become eligible too.
Today, more than 92 percent of associates have health insurance—either through us or through other coverage. For our associates who choose coverage with Wal-Mart, we also offer more than 2,400 generic prescription drugs for $4. This includes prescription drugs to treat everything from diabetes to heart disease.
Wal-Mart associates will find more than 50 ways to customize their health coverage. They can select from a menu of deductibles, health care coverage options, and health credits and premiums.
We want associates and their families to have the peace of mind that their healthcare needs will be met, especially when they need it most. To ensure that peace of mind, Wal-Mart’s health coverage includes no lifetime maximums on most health care expenses.
Exclusive, Everyday Savings
We save Americans thousands of dollars a year. And our associates get even more. Every Wal-Mart associate receives:
- 10 percent off regularly priced general merchandise in Wal-Mart stores or on www.walmart.com with the associate discount card
- 10 percent off of fresh fruits and vegetables
- An additional 10 percent off eyewear at Wal-Mart Vision Centers
- Over 100 discounts on walmartbenefits.com—our associate-only website—for everything from new cars to movie tickets.
Grow Your Future
We believe in our associates’ futures. Last year, we put $870 million into associates’ Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan accounts. We do this whether or not an associate chooses to contribute.
We also make it easy for associates to have an ownership in the company. The Associate Stock Purchase Program allows associates to purchase stock without most brokerage fees. Plus, we match a portion of their purchases.
Wal-Mart Success = Your Success
Every associate is eligible to receive performance bonuses based on the performance of their store. We also offer a long-term service award, which rewards hourly associates and assistant managers who have been with the company for 20 years or more with an extra week of pay.
