There is a narrative that Wal-mart pays low wages, I think its quite apt as most positions do pay quite low, I worked at Wal Mart while in college and saw it first hand. A few things to note, certain positions do pay well, store managers for one, I know for a fact that over 20 years ago certain store managers would see over $300k in yearly compensation. In addition once I got into tech after college I worked with a few walmart.com ex-employees, and these employees stated that part of their bonus was tied to a percentage of sales walmart.com made and they said the bonus pay was wildly lucrative. So Wal Mart does pay well in fact if you are in the right position. Considering keeping your shelves(and online distribution centers) stocked is the lifeblood of the company it behooves them to have a healthy circulatory system and not have drivers who do not deliver on time or get into accidents.
