I'm a Walmart store manager at 23. I worked hard to get this life and started as a cashier — here's my career journey.
Walmart's youngest US store manager shares her succession plan and the biggest lessons she learned throughout her career.
Kiley Pulley began her career at Walmart as a cashier at the age of 16, motivated by the desire to earn her own money. She progressed through various roles, including stocker and online fulfillment, before becoming an academy trainer and digital team lead at 18. At 19, she became an operations manager, and just before her 22nd birthday, she became the youngest store manager in Walmart's US history.
Pulley emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and adapting to new challenges for career growth. She advises teenagers to stay focused on their goals and seek support from mentors, such as her former store manager and current market manager. Pulley also stresses the significance of work-life balance, delegating tasks, and being a servant leader to foster a productive and happy work environment.
