Pros

Sam's Club offers good salaries and decent benefits to it's assistant managers. This is a division of Wal Mart Stores Inc. so the stability of the company is never an issue. Forced relocation is no longer an issue as it was in the past.

Cons

Long hours, no balance of family time. The corporate office has a policy that if followed would give a fair balance of family time however, this policy is laughed at by General Managers and District Managers. To voice a concern to a higher level would bring about retaliation. Another downside is that feedback is not very well accepted on acted on.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
