According to Wal-Mart, about 75 percent of store management teams start as hourly associates.

The retailer says it paid the average full-time hourly associate 12.82 per hour in California as of July.

The 78,000-square-foot supercenter will take over the former Mervyns building at 2655 Saviers Road, which has been vacant since 2008.

Eligible associates also can receive quarterly merit-based incentives.
