Why Does Walmart Pay So Much?

Salaries at Walmart have become insane. Software engineers are able to earn nearly half a million dollars per year. Product managers are also able to earn nearly half a million dollars per year. And, even data scientists are able to cross $400,000 in total compensation. This is nothing new for big tech companies like FAANG but Walmart is very much a legacy retailer. But, despite their industry, it looks like Walmart is very much trying to keep up with the modern tech industry. In fact, Walmart has a full-on tech subsidiary called Walmart Global Tech that employs 8,000 tech workers. It wasn’t always like this though. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Walmart was very much resisting the tech revolution by suing up-and-coming competition and refusing to embrace tech. This led to about 16 years of stagnation in their stock price until they finally decided to go all in on tech. Today, Walmart is still definitely a retailer but they’re very much a retailer who’s based in tech. This video explains the history of Walmart’s tech endeavors and how Walmart become one of the top payers in the world.

    ​@desenagrator Just an FYI, Walmart has been phasing out the SMART system for a few years now. It's mostly done on apps that Walmart developed so that employees can use them on company supplied smart phones ($300+ Samsung Galaxy smartphones), instead of $1000+ telxon's and tc70's. It's cheaper, and much better, and now all employees have access to the correct inventory related apps so they can do their job better, and faster, instead of having to go look for a handheld. Also the SMART System is barely even used anymore, it's slowly becoming obsolete and getting phased out completely. I've worked for them for 8 years and since I got hired in 2015 I have seen Walmart go through a lot of changes, mostly for the better. Except for getting rid of valuable jobs and putting more stress on people who are over certain departments, all so they can save money, and look like they are giving more raises to store workers 😒.

    The base pay for a 3rd shift stocker at my Walmart is 18.50 including the shift difference. This means without missing if this was salary, a 3rd shift stocker at my Walmart would. 38,480 per year. It’s pretty insane considering all we do is put items on a shelf and cardboard into a baler. Walmart also only allows hourly employees where I work to carry 80 hours of PTO I to the new year and multiple guys will often end the year with well over 100 hours so they make over 40k per year working at Walmart. You add in their wife making make 20-35k at their job and it’s not surprising to see people making it at what use to be low wage dead end jobs that were only for the retired or college kid.

    I was a Director of Data Science for walmart last year. Your salary and stock numbers are way off. For the Distinguished level it is more like 170k + 75 stock per yr + 30% bonus. The bonus was chopped to 60% of that so call it 20%. The stock includes a hiring bonus and will fall to 35k per yr if they even continue to award it. All in all you could be as high as 270-300k or as low as 160-170 but around 210-230k is the most likely. These would be for the headquarters location in Arkansas, the San Francisco office may have a cola adjustment.

    Well, maybe Walmart can pay high level employees competitive salaries because they pay their “worker ants” only $14.00 per hour. However, the most disturbing salaries are made by the workers who have worked for Walmart for over 10 years, 15 years, even 21 years. Such employees make a little more than $17 per hour!! Unfortunately, as their years of employment increase Walmart as a company has plummeted. Most workers have found themselves in a position where they have too many years with the company to leave. Retirement is a real concern.

The ethnicity or race at that company is about 95% one race. They seem to need to churn contractors with different races in order they have good "diversity". The way they did it was hire a contractor for 4 months, let them go, and hire another one, so in one year, their "diversity" is 3x more diverse

    I got more raises job hopping in 6 months than i did working my ass off for 7 years at wally world, they do not pay well. Not to mention that they dont give raises on merit, more than once i heard management discussing who to give raises to and never was merit a reason. They even said one of our hardest workers didnt need one because "young people don't need money". They had two kids. They needed money. Then they were shocked when it got back to them that they were denied a raise based purely on age, effectively taking food from their childrens mouths, and they quit. Imagine telling somone on they ground they have good pay because the ceo is paid well, so their pay is irrelevant. That's not how that works. Walmart pays like shit.

    To all of the current Walmart (retail) employees that clicked this wondering what kinda BS they were going to spread, USE THE EDUCATION BENEFITS. You can get a bachelors at ZERO COST while working there. It’s not easy to be a student and work full time, but it’s a benefit that (if completed in 4 years) means another $15,000 a year. Use this while you can. If you leave in the middle of the program, you do not owe anything, and your credits are still valid!
