Pros

It paid SOME of the bills and it was local.

Cons

UNDER PAID and OVER WORKED (Under Evaluation once a year) you only get a pay raise once a year the minimum 35 cents and the most 45-50 cents but there is allowed the 60 cent raise BUT NO one gets that ! You have to be a perfect employee (they tell you) but its a lie they STILL won't give it . Still expected to do more.They keep you poor financially and they hurt the economy by doing so. They keep the poor, poor ! NEVER get paid for your over time. They make you cut your hours off your shift the next day. The management is young and immature,have no people skills and inexperienced . Sams club has no business putting young people in charge when they haven't experience in that field or the respect to the older adults.They tell you they respect the individual-they don't. A 22 year old telling and giving a 40 year old advice on "how to do their job" and talking with no respect Even though the older person has been doing their job for 14 years and they just hired this 22 year old to run the department ??? Something is definitely wrong with this Wal-Mart Corporation when you have to hire young people. Why because you don't want to pay someone with experience the right money?

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.
