Pros – Some 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.
Cons – The 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 Management – Put yourself in the associates shoes, I know all of you once were an associate but don't forget what it was like.
