Sam's Club Reviews

Pros

Fair pay. Free premium membership card. Guaranteed 15 and 30 min break, depending on the length of your shift. First dibs on very in-demand products such as Lysol, toilet paper, and eggs. They gave us free stuff every once in a while such as: Pizza and hotdogs in the breakroom sometimes. Thanksgiving meal in the breakroom around Thanksgiving. A turkey and a pie for Thanksgiving. A goody basket of candies for Christmas. Disposable masks and hand sanitizer during pandemic. Apparel with the company logo such as face masks and windbreaker jackets. Free unsellable products/merchandise sometimes.

Cons

Not very accommodating in terms of schedule making. They will almost never say yes to your requests and will give you whatever hours are most convenient for them, not for you. Most of their insurance and retirement benefits are only available to fulltime employees with at least 1 year of experience. They have lockers for employees in the breakroom, but not enough for everyone. Be prepared to do work that wasn't in the job description as well. Management didn't inform me of a lot of the free stuff; usually found out through coworkers.

Pros

Pay is good, job isn't difficult.

Cons

Wasn't trained, was yelled at several times a day because I should've been doing something or shouldn't have been doing something. I finally said I hadn't been trained, then was asked why not like I chose not to be. Some supervisors follow the do what I say not what I do. Would be a better work environment if they actually took time to train and give you the basics.

Pros

The pay is amazing, went from $11 an hr to $15 an hr (COVID-19 boosted the pay to a lot of grocery stores)

Cons

The customers will definitely let you know they pay to shop there. Since it is a membership based grocery store, the customers will do everything in their power to break you if they don’t get their way. The membership desk will chew you up and spit you out if you don’t have thick skin. Some members are cool, but theres always the rotten few that live to berate others.

Pros

great benefits , culture and career opportunities

Cons

new hires make more off he street

Pros

I love to work at sams club I’ll be happy to be there and help out very well.

Cons

Nothing I understand it’s a busy company and I can handle it.

Pros

pay with 2% raises every year i think

Cons

lifting heavy boxes, pulled several places to do things, not enough equipment to do job, people acknowledge you but don't bother answering them as they aren't listening, need help...to bad.

Pros

The co workers are great, the work is great and self explanatory. You gain many different skills because you work everywhere.

Cons

Management is terrible and treat you like you're replaceable which you are. I've seen people who work there well over 40 years get treated like trash and then fired without a word. They never tell you what you're doing wrong until its too late and they either fire you or give you a write up. They never gave me pto when I used it and never explained the difference when using pto and ppto or if they pay you pto. I'm still confused. Everyone is petty and it feels like you can get fired at anytime. Lastly they force you to do other things, for example if I work in the meat department or in recieving they will pull me away from my regular duties to be on the register or outside pushing carts...and then expect you to be done with your regular work.
