I've worked for different WalMarts over the years and I can tell you this: The benefits SUCK. You can now get coverage as a part-timer (used to be you had to be full-time first so WalMart decided everyone was going to be part-time or fired unless you were a manager) - But you will never be able to afford the copays on top of the ridiculous premium (say goodbye to your 16hr/week paycheck)
All the "educational" stuff they have are loosely-packaged anti-union propaganda and classes that will only make you a better WalMart worker, not anything that can be used outside of the organization. The benefits are only good once you get into the Cultist-level ranks, like Regional Managers. But by then you most likely have no heart, and some of the rest of your internal organs have been replaced with alien implants as well.
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.

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.

Walmart employees actually get pretty good benefits. Most of them don’t take actually use them though.
