1. Pizza Hut Jobs: 6,257 Openings
Pizza Hut continues to expand, adding new locations nationwide. For those with a knack for customer-service-with-a-smile, these jobs could be for you. Work in the store, or get behind the wheel as a delivery driver.
Employee Review: “Decent hours, fun working environment, challenging (but not too much), rewarding, quick training (I was cross-trained, so I could fill any role necessary).”
2. UnitedHealth Group Jobs: 3,367 Openings
UnitedHealth Group currently provides health insurance services to more than 75 million people worldwide.
Employee Review: “I really enjoyed my time at UnitedHealth Group. The trainers were very knowledgeable and were always there to answer any questions that I had. I worked as a claims associate for just a few short months before being promoted to another department. I then went on to work from home! Only left this company because of personal issues not related to my job. Great place to work!”
3. Macy’s Jobs: 1,984 Openings
Even though sales are down slightly, the retail giant continues to hire in large quantities nationwide.

The company continues to add jobs throughout the country, with its latest hiring spree looking for workers to build Jeep vehicles in Toledo, Ohio.
Employee Review: “The company is extremely adaptable and resilient after its financial distress in recent years, and the company is very hopeful for the future. The need for young and creative people is overwhelming — those without automotive background may be better positioned than they think!”
5. AT&T Retail Jobs: 1,864 Openings
Wireless giant AT&T continues to hire in large volumes, as many customers upgrade their smartphones and purchase tablets that require LTE data plans.
Employee Review: “They provide great benefits and pay. I know they match quite a bit for 401(k) investment. It is a great job for someone interested in technology and learning about new technologies. Also, it is great to know that you are helping others out on a daily basis.”
