Micro Manager look for too many wrongs and not enough right. Tell employees the right way to do things in advance instead of waiting for them to make a mistake

Hours, hours , to much competition against the cashiers

Create cohesion of directives through enhanced intra-management communication.

Pros

Pay is good. Compared to the rest of the market I cannot complain about the rate that Sam's club pays.

Cons

Lost it's culture. I think overall everything is about hitting the bottom line. I feel that Sam Walton would not be happy of the way the company has went. This isn't because of the corporate office but rather from the district manager and below.

Pros

Associates - Benefits - compensation

Cons

Constant changes within programs before they have a chance to be successful

Pros

Money, a good work out, polite employee's, good prices on items, free membership, convienent online scheduling, lenient attendance policy, not too bad.

Cons

Having to sell the plus membership is absolutely ridiculous and asinine, forced to manipulate extra money out of confused consumers.

Pros

You can move up pretty fast if you put the work in. I have only been there for a few months now I am going into the MIT program.

Cons

The hours are not my favorite. Sometimes I have to be at work at 5am the day after a holiday.

Advice to Senior Management

Some management need to be stiffer on the store policy. Sometimes management just gives in to members. Members find loop holes to get over on Sam's Club.

Pros

Great benefits and potential for long term employment.

Cons

there's not many full time positions!

Advice to Senior Management

our Management is great. The store manager is probably one of the best out there...
Our store is ranked number 1 in the market, and with reason!
