"It's a far more complex job today then when I managed a store," said John Furner, President and CEO for Walmart's US division, announcing a new stock grant plan for US store managers.
  • Walmart store managers are set to receive annual stock grants ranging from $10,000 to $20,000.
  • The amount of the grant will depend on the size of the store, from hometown stores to Supercenters.
  • The move follows significant increases in salary and bonuses that kick in on February 1.

It's a good year to be a store manager at Walmart.

Fresh off the announcement earlier this month of substantial pay and bonus increases, the company said Monday that it is adding annual stock grants of up to $20,000 to the store managers' compensation packages.
