I always had a smile on my face
Cashier (Former Employee), Denton, TX –
Pros: paid breaks, great break room, the best coworkers
Cons: the healthy food was expensive
Working for Sam's club, aka Walmart INC, was a great experience. I grew as a sales representative and as a customer service representative. I had the opportunity to greet and assist customers with transactions or helping them find a product on the shelf. I had a great time working with this company because the employees stick together as a team and – more...  help each other out whenever possible but yet I still had the opportunity to work independently and develop people skills. – less

Sam's Club Mgmt
Receiving Manager (Former Employee), Snellville, GA –
Pros: promotions from within based on performance.
Cons: low work life balance
Sam's managers are tough ready to go managers versed in all aspect of all departments of their business. A Sam's manager balances all corporate directives and real life scenarios with the staffing challenges while never saying a cross word. Retrospectively one of the best developmental training progams I have attended at any employer to date

Sam's Club Isn't The Place To Be
Membership Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Temple, PA –
Pros: great associates, club closed daily at 8:30
Cons: no work/life balance, long hours, working 50 plus hours a week, uncaring and unknowledgable club management
I was a manager for six months and had been with Walmart for over two years till I transferred to Sam's. Seriously, I wish I never left Walmart. I worked nearly every weekend on a schedule that hovered around 50 hours a week. As hard as I worked to better the business, it was never enough. I don't know how club managers get promoted into the positions – more...  but the rest of the assistant managers ran the club better than he did. If you want to work for a retailer, stick with Walmart or Target. Sam's isn't worth your time. – less

People in general
Cashier (Former Employee), Bangor, ME –
Pros: having nice members come through the line, working with some good people
Cons: being treated poorly, lines got way too backed up, the members who would call me names.
A typical day at work was always the same: Getting members of the club checked out with proper customer service and being of service to them. The management on a daily basis was always nice at first and I understand that all employees must abide by procedures, but some people got treated horrible, or some got treated favorably. People just got away – more...  with more thins than they should of. Not everyone abides by the procedures and regulations of the company.

I liked some of the people I worked with. They were nice and treated everyone equally. I will miss them. Working with them on the same shift made my day great and my earnings. I was making $8.35 an hour based on my past experience as a cashier and retail. Others were earning more based on their experience. They called it "levels." – less

Some good days an also some bad days depending on what manager you worked with
Meat Dept. (Former Employee), Metairie, LA –
Pros: free membership and the customers
Cons: non professional managers
Making sure everything was stocked an ready to go before the store open, I have learned to be quick to listen an less on the talking. The hardest part of the job I would have to say was working with some of your co-workers who didn't believe in team work. The most injoyable was some of my regular customers.
