According to store manager Deryk Cogdill, the store will be hiring both full- and part-time associates. “In addition to bringing Walmart’s everyday low prices to the Argentine neighborhood, the new store will also provide valuable jobs to the community,” said Cogdill. “I look forward to meeting interested applicants who want to build careers at Walmart.”

For example, it provides a variety of affordable health and well-being benefits including health-care coverage with no lifetime maximum.
