It depends on the area you are in... like the ones in Alaska make way more than the ones in Arkansas.... I would have to say that based on the store in Fairbanks Alaska, they offer a fair wage and yes there is insurance and other benefits for all their employees .. If i remember correctly full time employees are eligible for benefits a lot sooner than part time... Im a school bus driver and worked there last summer when school let out .. i was very tempted to stay and not go back to school bus driving but i couldnt refuse the offer i was given... good luck

How much they start out thier cashiers at depend on a couple of different things. When I started, they started cashiers out with a "base" pay of $5.50, then they added about 60 cents for every job that you were at for 4 or more years prior to starting Wal-mart. (which in my case put me at $6.10) And of course if you would over night, you get more. I would assume that every Wal-mart has different starting pay depending on where it is located. I live in the deep south where typically pay is lower than most parts of the country. I would bet that in places where cost of living is higher, the starting pay is higher.
As for insurance, yes they do offer is, but you have to be employeed there for a certain amount of time and work full time. (which I was told that they don't hire ANY full time employees... you have to work your way up to it.)
There are a couple of perks to working at Wal-mart. There is the discount card. You're also given the option of purchasing stock every pay check. And if you work hard you can move up in the Wal-mart ranks.
I hope this helps!!!!

Depends on the location. Here in South Florida its usually

They make about $7.00 an hour and you have to work at least 32 hrs. to receive insurance. That's in South Carolina
