Walmart also offers other benefits for students like the Home Office internship program and a 12-week private fleet development program. Though Walmart has been the heart of much backlash from customer service to cleanliness, the company is trying to move forward with younger generations. 

Fox Business adds that Walmart employees account for 2.3 million associates worldwide, with 1.7 in the United States alone.
