Connection Center Sales Associate (Current Employee)
Bloomington, MN

I have been working at Sam's Club

ProsSome of the best reasons to work at Sam's club included job security, friendly work environment, and quality management. Overall it was a great place to work.

ConsThe downsides were what was demanded of you, too often managers dumped large amounts of work on you without really knowing how much work you had to do.

Advice to Senior ManagementPut yourself in the associates shoes, I know all of you once were an associate but don't forget what it was like.

ProsProfessional, great benefits, okay work environment and recognizes achievements. Mostly at times a friendly environment.

ConsIt can be a little demanding at times to meet high expectations but that is a given. A lot of hours because it can be understaffed. Not really much to say, other employers could be worst.

Advice to Senior ManagementWould like more positive feedback.
