Marietta, GA

Current Employee – been working at Sam's Club full-time for more than 10 years

ProsMy son was able to recieve a 13,000 scholarship for college because I work for Sam's Club. There are many benefits with working at Sam's Club. Plus it is a company that will allow you to grow as far as you want. Also it can be a place for long-term employment. I have been with this company now for 18 wonderful years. No regrets. :)

ConsNot being able to have a set schedule, but that's okay.

Advice to Senior ManagementAlways cherish those you have working with you, always be fair, and listen to what they have to say. Don't be afraid to admitt when you make a mistake. Always show the most respect for each indiviual. Communicate with everyone that is around you. And remember the 10- foot rule. These are the basic.:)

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Waukesha, WI

Current Employee – been working at Sam's Club part-time for less than a year

ProsGood Part time position, flexible hours but expect to work all or parer of a weekend.
Good people for the most part, do the job, be polite and you will get noticed and moved to a better position.

ConsNot everyone wants to work, some folks should be removed. Pay is not the best but there are far worse.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop the constant cost cutting, us the employees to maintain the club. Culture and values are not what is going on today.

Former Employee – worked at Sam's Club full-time

ProsGreat growth potential if you are willing to work hard and want to learn. Everything is earned. Great relationships built with peers and within the local communities that you work.

ConsCulture of the company is becoming blurred the further they expand and the further they get away from Mr. Sams teachings.

Advice to Senior ManagementReconnect with the culture that made your company great. Figure out how to still maintain the "small" company feel even as you get even larger.

Vacaville, CA

Current Employee – been working at Sam's Club full-time for more than 10 years

ProsNothing good at this time.

ConsTelling us that they don't have hours for your department. But want you to push your team to work harder and smarter with out getting hurt and just get the work out on the floor. Sad that you know your department makes money but they don't care how much you make. You only get so many hours for that department. So you have to push your team so hard they are getting hurt and they tell you that's there job and they need to push them self.

Advice to Senior ManagementTreat Teamleader with respect instand of doormats and robots. Quit push them to coach there team if they don't hurry up and fill the floor. What happen to respecting the invidual in stand of making money. That's all you worry about.

West Jordan, UT

Current Employee – been working at Sam's Club full-time for more than 7 years

ProsFlexible schedule, lots of different departments to help find something that is for you.

ConsWork lots of holidays and every weekend. Very poor sick pay policy.

Advice to Senior Management"Listen to your associates. They are your best idea generators." Sam Walton. This company no longer cares what its associates think. All they care from the top down is what their boss thinks. Nobody has any voice in how this company is ran. Its all high level executives who haven't worked in a store environment in 10 years trying to pretend that they know what is best for the company.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Orlando, FL

Current Employee – been working at Sam's Club part-time for more than 7 years

ProsPay is usually above the minimum wage starting which is really good. As long as you do your job you "should" be ok. Tire department is known as a safe zone for the most part since most managers don't bother too much with the tire department. Cashiers tend to be the ones that everyone is after since they are required to get members to upgrade their memberships.

ConsThere are times when management gets on your case over little issues in the tire department. If you are on the floor expect way more involvement with management. For full timers the job pays very well but if your part time there is a risk of random hour cuts resulting in 30 hrs one week and 15 hours another. Its also very hard to call out sick even when policy tells you to not come in if your ill.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
