So... apparently WalMart has a large majority of employees full-time. Didn't know that.
Apparently WalMart is one of the better places to work in retail. Didn't know that.
This is ludicrous and, at least in my area, is DEFINITELY not the case, here's a quote:
He also said that employees can get health insurance for roughly $17/week. Anyone know if that's true?Tovar stood his ground, saying that full-time associates on average make $12.40 per hour, or more than $25,000 per year, about $10,000 more than the poverty-level figure cited by Costello. “We’ve got some of the best jobs in the retail industry and our associates appreciate that,” Tovar said.
Quarterly bonuses? 82% of eligible employees got the bonus, according to him.
I especially loved this one:
Tovar told Costello in the interview that the complaints were coming from a small group of workers and that “the vast majority of our associates like working at Walmart.” The retailer took home $3.63 billion last quarter.
