According to store manager Tony Budgewater, the store will be hiring both full- and part-time associates. “We are excited to add a new Walmart Neighborhood Market to Garland and bring good jobs with great career opportunities to the area,” said Budgewater.  

Walmart provides a benefits program to eligible full- and part-time associates. For example, it provides a variety of affordable health and well-being benefits including health-care coverage with no lifetime maximum. Walmart also offers eligible associates matching 401(k) contributions of up to 6 percent of pay, discounts on general merchandise, an Associate Stock Purchase Program and company-paid life insurance. Additionally, eligible associates receive a quarterly incentive based on store performance.

The majority of new associates will begin work in December to help prepare the store for its grand opening.
