Pros

With Wal-Mart, there is great job security. The health benefits are good when compared to similar industries.

Cons

Need to rotate team leaders and managers inside the Club every 12 months to keep leadership fresh and to force leaders to grow outside there "box". Need to allow managers to take personal days when needed. Managers have to pretend to be sick when they need a personal day! Why would a company treat their management in this manner? After the extended long hours managers work, dedication and social sacrifice, managers should be treated better. You would think that a company that has been around as long as Sam's Club (25+ years) would have this figured out by now!

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.
