Empowering Our Associates

Our Associates make it possible for us to deliver great values to our Customers every day.

Associates are central to our success and growth, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive work environment where they can thrive both personally and professionally.

At the forefront of our commitment is a focus on welcoming and valuing the diverse range of backgrounds, identities, and ideas of our Associates and our Customers. Creating an environment where our approximately 108,000 Associates and the Customers who shop with us are treated with dignity and respect is at the heart of everything we do.
