Checkout Team Associate

Role summary

Front End Checkout associates run our registers. They smile, greet and thank customers, ring up items, process payments, and keep a positive attitude. Always ready to help with customer questions and needs, this role may require standing for long periods of time. For complete job duties and requirements, see the Job Description.

You play a major role in how our customers feel when they leave the store. You might be the first, last, and sometimes only associate a customer interacts with. That's why it's so important to smile, greet, and thank every customer. You are an ambassador of Walmart.

The pace can be intense, especially in the evenings, weekends, and holiday seasons. There are times when you must juggle several tasks in a short amount of time while helping customers: scan items, explain a price, bag items properly, count cash back, and keep your area clean.

It takes a special person who is positive, can multi‑task, and has a passion for customer service and helping others.

At Walmart, we offer competitive pay and performance‑based incentive awards. Health benefits include medical, vision, and dental coverage. Financial benefits include 401(k), stock purchase, and company‑paid life insurance. Paid time off includes parental leave, family care leave, bereavement, jury duty, and voting. Additional benefits include short‑term and long‑term disability, company discounts, military leave pay, adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, and more.

You will also receive paid time off (PTO) that can be used for vacation, sick leave, holidays, or other purposes. The amount you receive depends on your job classification and length of employment. It will meet or exceed the requirements of paid sick leave laws, where applicable. For information about PTO, see
