But the health benefits it offers in its online operations appear to be inferior to those of many e-commerce competitors. In addition to its standard health insurance benefits, Walmart covers 100 percent of the cost of certain types of major surgery, like transplants, at a top facility. “The health benefits were really, really good,” said Alicia Faust Ogg, who worked in returns and customer service at ModCloth between 2012 and 2014. Under ModCloth’s current insurance, workers pay biweekly premiums ranging from $6.65 for the employee alone to $144 to cover a spouse and children as well. That included cutbacks in health coverage, they said, but it remained comprehensive and affordable before the company was sold.
