By Julie Murphy, Chief People Officer, Walmart U.S. and Christopher Shryock, Chief People Officer, Sam’s Club

Coming to work at a Walmart store, Sam’s Club, Walmart distribution or fulfillment center is about more than just having a job – it’s about building a career. We’re focused on providing a ladder of opportunity, so people can build a career at Walmart, no matter where they start.

Like everything at Walmart, careers are evolving rapidly and on a big scale, which means new growth opportunities in roles that might not have existed just a few years ago. In fact, between our stores, clubs, distribution and fulfillment centers, more than 500 U.S. associates, on average, are promoted every day in our company. That’s more than 500 associates daily who are growing their skillsets, developing their careers and building their dreams.
