Why Does Walmart Pay So Much?

  • Salaries at Walmart have become insane. Software engineers are able to earn nearly half a million dollars per year. Product managers are also able to earn nearly half a million dollars per year. And, even data scientists are able to cross $400,000 in total compensation. This is nothing new for big tech companies like FAANG but Walmart is very much a legacy retailer. But, despite their industry, it looks like Walmart is very much trying to keep up with the modern tech industry. In fact, Walmart has a full-on tech subsidiary called Walmart Global Tech that employs 8,000 tech workers. It wasn’t always like this though. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Walmart was very much resisting the tech revolution by suing up-and-coming competition and refusing to embrace tech. This led to about 16 years of stagnation in their stock price until they finally decided to go all in on tech. Today, Walmart is still definitely a retailer but they’re very much a retailer who’s based in tech. This video explains the history of Walmart’s tech endeavors and how Walmart become one of the top payers in the world.

      You're just forgetting the fact about that 10x+ productivity boost. Jobs will of course remain but do you think they'll pay 10x as much as they do now when there are 10x fewer of them. So 1-5+ million USD per year? I guess it's possible but that's not how history has worked.
      What'll happen instead is an absolutely massive explosion of hyper niche products and services. I'm already seeing it start. When a single person (or more accurately a team of 3-6) can run a service that scales to thousands or millions without the need for additional manpower, that's exactly what will happen.

      ​@desenagrator Just an FYI, Walmart has been phasing out the SMART system for a few years now. It's mostly done on apps that Walmart developed so that employees can use them on company supplied smart phones ($300+ Samsung Galaxy smartphones), instead of $1000+ telxon's and tc70's. It's cheaper, and much better, and now all employees have access to the correct inventory related apps so they can do their job better, and faster, instead of having to go look for a handheld. Also the SMART System is barely even used anymore, it's slowly becoming obsolete and getting phased out completely.
      I've worked for them for 8 years and since I got hired in 2015 I have seen Walmart go through a lot of changes, mostly for the better. Except for getting rid of valuable jobs and putting more stress on people who are over certain departments, all so they can save money, and look like they are giving more raises to store workers 😒.

    I was a Director of Data Science for walmart last year. Your salary and stock numbers are way off. For the Distinguished level it is more like 170k + 75 stock per yr + 30% bonus. The bonus was chopped to 60% of that so call it 20%. The stock includes a hiring bonus and will fall to 35k per yr if they even continue to award it. All in all you could be as high as 270-300k or as low as 160-170 but around 210-230k is the most likely.

Walmart also only allows hourly employees where I work to carry 80 hours of PTO I to the new year and multiple guys will often end the year with well over 100 hours so they make over 40k per year working at Walmart.

Not to mention that they dont give raises on merit, more than once i heard management discussing who to give raises to and never was merit a reason. They even said one of our hardest workers didnt need one because "young people don't need money". They had two kids. They needed money. Then they were shocked when it got back to them that they were denied a raise based purely on age, effectively taking food from their childrens mouths, and they quit.
    Imagine telling somone on they ground they have good pay because the ceo is paid well, so their pay is irrelevant. That's not how that works. Walmart pays like shit.

The same is true with companies like Home Depot and other retail. The get a bad rap because they employ mostly entry level people with entry level skills and that’s how they get portrayed. My mom works for home depot, she started there in 1996. She got to a point where she stopped taking promotions, but as long as you show up and do more than other people you can rise is those companies.
