A strong emphasis in this overnight role is on labelling and placing merchandise in backroom bins, which sets it apart from day and evening shifts. You’ll also be expected to uphold Walmart’s safety standards, complete safety sweep logs, and maintain a clean, hazard-free work environment at all times.
