General Merchandise Associate – Walmart Canada – Richmond Hill, ON

Walmart Canada is hiring a General Merchandise Associate at their Richmond Hill, Ontario location — a temporary (fixed-term) retail position suited for people who enjoy staying active, working with customers, and being part of a busy store team. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and take pride in keeping a clean, well-stocked sales floor, this role is worth a closer look.

Day to day, you’ll be on the floor helping customers find what they need, restocking shelves, zoning merchandise, and making sure the general merchandise area stays organized and customer-ready. It’s hands-on work that keeps you moving and engaged throughout your shift.

About the Role: General Merchandise Associate

As a General Merchandise Associate at Walmart Canada, your main focus is delivering a great customer experience while keeping the general merchandise area fully stocked, organized, and ready for shoppers. You’ll handle everything from greeting customers and assisting with product selection to completing stocking, zoning, and modular execution tasks across assigned areas of the store.

This position also involves maintaining a safe and hazard-free work environment, following company policies and procedures, completing safety sweep logs, and supporting front-end coverage when needed. Schedule flexibility is important — you should be available to work mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays based on business needs.

Benefits and Salary

The minimum rate of pay for this position starts at $17.75 per hour. Walmart Canada also offers a range of benefits including a store discount, stock options, deferred profit sharing, EQ Health, and access to the Live Better U education program. Comprehensive benefits, life insurance, and paid time off are available based on hours worked or employment status (full-time or part-time).

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll split your time between customer-facing service and behind-the-scenes stocking and merchandising tasks. Both sides of the job are equally important — a well-stocked, organized store directly shapes the experience every customer has when they walk through the door.

• Deliver customer service by greeting shoppers, helping with product selection, promoting items, locating merchandise, and resolving concerns professionally
• Cover assigned areas of the sales floor and assist with front-end coverage as needed to ensure all customer needs are met
• Zone and recover merchandise across assigned sections to maintain a clean, organized, and customer-ready sales floor
• Stock shelves and complete downstocking, apply product protection when required, and move feature merchandise to its modular location
• Set and complete modulars, including flex modulars and new shelf caps, with accuracy and attention to detail
• Maintain a safe environment by following company policies, completing safety sweep logs, and ensuring displays and fixtures are secure
• Work flexible shifts including evenings, weekends, and holidays based on store needs

Requirements / Skills

Walmart is looking for someone who is adaptable, team-oriented, and customer-focused. You don’t need a lengthy résumé — what matters most is a positive attitude, the ability to stay organized under pressure, and a willingness to pitch in wherever the team needs you.

• Flexibility to work a variety of shifts including mornings, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays
• Physical stamina for standing for extended periods, bending, and lifting up to 20 lbs. regularly and up to 50 lbs. occasionally
• Attention to detail when completing repetitive tasks such as stocking, zoning, and product organization
• Communication skills to coordinate with team members and provide helpful, professional service to customers
