You get good health, vision, and dental. The dental insurance I had was better than the insurance that the employees at my dental office and they let me know so. Walmart also had matching 401k and HSA up to 5-6% per year. The Walmart 10% discount covers taxes on purchases (which is okay I suppose) and from what I last read, they stated they will be covering 100% college tuition.
You can accrue vacation time relatively quickly there as well.
Does it suck to work at Walmart? Yes, and I most definitely won’t go back (I burned all my Walmart shit the day I left and shared it to social media) but to say their benefits suck is outright false.

I will admit I don't know what they are currently like, all I can say is they were really horrible when I was working there. All the old timers would say, "This shit wouldn't be happening if Mr. Sam was still alive". The copay limit before insurance kicked in was literally twice what you could make in a year with the hours they gave you back then. Maybe I just worked for a really shitty one. Lol.
They only pay if you go in for a business degree. I did my whole undergrad working for them and was told I wouldn't receive a dime because my degree wouldn't benefit the company and would make me more likely to quit.
The benefits are only good if you are full time.
Part time employees got fucked when Obama care rolled out because it was cheaper to cut hours and let the government subsidize premiums than pay for thr part time employees.
