    Hard to tell you. Rates are different for each state. For me its about 68 going up to around 76 for family. We have three different style of plans to choose from that fit our life. Again this is what is offered in Texas so I am sure it will be different in Cali. You will be better appreciated here form verbals to food to awards.
     
    newbieatwalmart Thanks this.

    After 16 years with the company I realize what you say is true, my point was don't count on it. Yes you may get lucky, but chances are you won't. Again it does depend on the DC and who the GTM is as to whether there is even an outside chance if getting weekends off. The guy said he was off every weekend where he is at now.......I'll bet a paycheck that ain't gonna happen at Wal-Mart!:biggrin_25519: Oh by the way, at our DC they are not continuing the week on/week off, or the 6/3 anymore. Our GTM likes 5 on 5 off with rotating days off....two guys on the truck. And, the Regional Manager is backing him up on it. He also likes the 3 day work week, as in Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
