Walmart

At Walmart, our commitment to the military runs deep, inspired by our founder, WWII veteran Sam Walton. We celebrate the dedication and leadership of our military associates and their families. There’s a path for everyone at Walmart. You can find just about any job here and our culture of promoting from within means you can move up fast and still have plenty of room to grow.

Why Walmart?

• Veterans and their spouses can build their careers with Walmart or as entrepreneurs. In the past decade, we’ve hired more than 500,000 U.S. veterans and military spouses.
• Whether you’re taking your first steps into the civilian workforce, returning after a career break, or seeking a new direction, we’re here to support your journey. At Walmart, we offer opportunities tailored to where you are now and where you aspire to go. We will help you reach your goals with our military skills translator tool.
• Our commitment doesn’t stop there. We recognize that military spouses and families also seek meaningful career paths. Through initiatives like our Military Family Promise policy, we ensure that trailing spouses can continue their Walmart careers, no matter where their servicemember’s duty takes them.

Advancement Opportunities

• Walmart U.S. associates receive their first promotion in nine months, on average.
• Approximately 75% of our U.S. salaried store, club, and supply-chain management started their careers in hourly positions. Associates in these roles earned an average of more than $117,000 in FY2025.
• Industry-leading experts in tech, marketing, merchandising, operations, people and more help support our frontline workforce and drive our success as a people-led, tech-powered omnichannel retailer.
• Over the past decade, over 115 former Walmart leaders have gone on to be CEOs at other companies. People gain exceptional experience and transferable skills by leading here.

Training & Education

• Walmart Academy: Teaches associates the skills they need to succeed in their current role. With over 3.5 million associates trained, we’ve got you covered for leadership and technical skills alike. 
• Pipeline programs: We’re filling key jobs by giving associates the opportunity to grow. The Associate to Driver program is a pathway for store, club and supply chain associates to join the Walmart private fleet, where they can make up to $135,000 a year. The Associate to Technician program is similar, creating an entry point to jobs that pay up to $45/hour.
• Live Better U: Associates can learn critical skills and create pathways for promotion into in-demand jobs within the company. Whether earning a college degree, certificate or high school diploma, Walmart pays for tuition and books. Associates have saved over $812 million and we’re always adding new offerings, like OpenAI training certificates.
