It depends on the job. If you're the nice lady cooking and handing out those delicious little samples to customers in the stores, you'll start out making $8.20 an hour. If you're a cart person (the ones who gather all the shopping carts), you'll start at nine dollars.
The Tire and Battery technicians probably make the highest non-management starting wage. However, that is a skilled job, and one that is very physically demanding. They can make up to 11 an hour depending on experience, cashiers can make 11 an hour too actually the 1st sentence and the last sentence of the 1st answer is true.
Maybe its an outdated answer or their club is different. It does depend on which area you get hired into. However the starting pay is $8.40.
And you get "x" amount of cents extra an hour per year of retail experience you have (usually $.25/hr for up to 5yrs exp. Then goes up from there). The guys doing the absolute hardest physical job, pushing carts, make the least at $8.40 (the minimum offered @ sam's).
Then other areas go up in pay per the "Wal-Mart Pay Scale". It goes from level 1 to level 7. With 1 being carts and 7 being hourly supervisors ("Team Leaders").
Meat Cutters are also at level 7. Tire & Battery have SOME positions at level 6. Photo Techs and "Fresh" areas have level 6 positions as well as a Pharmacy Tech and a "COS" (Check-Out Supervisor or Lead Cashier).
Level 5's are scattered around the club but some examples are cake decorator, claims associate and eye care tech. Level 4 is (as far as I know) only 1 position which is audit team (inventory counts/adjustments). Level 3 is the most common.
They are all the floor associates (except electronics which is a level 4), stockers, membership desk associate (although some get level 4 or 5) and some positions in the "Fresh" areas. Level 2 are cashiers. For each "level" you rise you get extra cents added to your hourly rate.
You start at $8.40 and go up to whatever level the job your getting is listed under. The difference between levels varies from $.10 to $.25/hr. All these figures are based on the club I work at so they may not be like this at all clubs but I was told they all were SUPPOSED to be the same.
However I have heard of associates at other clubs being paid different wages such as the 1st responder to this question. Hope that helps!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
