Pros

There are not many pros to working for Sam's Club, but there are a few perks: Free Basic Membership OR discounted Plus Membership with the value of the Basic deducted Stock options after you qualify for benefits Health Insurance is decent Discount on produce

Cons

Corporate is very hands on with the stores, not permitting them to adapt to their local areas Constantly having new rules added with little to no warning in advance Constantly having to rearrange the store Gas Station Associates and others required to request for restroom breaks and fifteen minute breaks are often made to wait up to five hours or more to get the aid they asked for and are often yelled at for sending a reminder Managers tend to be very cold and unsympathetic to those under them Grassroots has been thrown to the wayside in favor for a suggestion box The managers love to go on and on about accountability, but are never themselves accountable for their actions Managers who do stand up for the employees often get canned later on under other pretenses

Pros

The pay is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

This is the worst job I have ever had. I made it 3 weeks before leaving and never coming back. They had me working 12 hour shifts when I was scheduled for 8 but couldn’t leave because I wasn’t finished with the large workload they piled on me. There was absolutely no teamwork, our manager just abandoned us so they could go hang out with their friends. There was no organization, no structure. 100% sure my manager never even knew my name. They had us breaking down pallets just to restack them. There are no consequences for management at all, they can basically do whatever they want and nobody is gonna do anything to stop it. If they're short they throw you into different departments with no training.
