Last week, Ollie's Bargain reported second-quarter fiscal 2021 results. The company disappointed investors with its performance as both the top and the bottom lines not only declined year over year but also fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Shares of this Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) company have fallen 13.2% in the past three months against the industry’s growth of 0.7%.
Apart from Ollie's Bargain, the retail behemoth Walmart (WMT - Free Report) announced plans to appoint 20,000 new workers at more than 250 distribution centers, fulfillment centers and transportation offices. These job roles will be permanent, including order fillers, lift drivers, freight handlers, technicians and management positions. The positions will be offered in part-time and full-time options.
Walmart is focused on strengthening its supply chain, which plays a vital role in catering to customers. It has been taking several e-commerce initiatives, including buyouts, alliances, and improved delivery and payment systems to stay firm amid the rising competition from Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) . Well, the e-commerce giant also plans to hire roughly 55,000 people worldwide. This includes about 40,000 job roles in the United States.
Meanwhile, Dollar General (DG - Free Report) is looking to deploy more staff to fill positions in stores, distribution centers, the DG Private Fleet and Store Support Center. As part of DG Private Fleet recruiting, Dollar General is offering a $5,000 sign-on bonus to drivers with an active Commercial Driver’s License.
