Pros

I worked at Sam's Club part time one summer as a membership associate. They payed better than all of the other stores in the area, and the work environment was pleasant for what it was. Their scheduling, as with most stores, sucks - they pick random hours and days for you to work. You can request off certain days pretty easily though, so its not so bad. I'd work there again if I was looking for a part time summer job. Also, once you've worked there for a bit, I believe you can move up to management positions fairly easily if you're interested. They offer training courses and stuff like that.

Cons

-Random hours / schedules (like most stores, I think) -pay is pretty bad compared to anything besides minimum wage jobs -you have to stand the entire time you're there (again, like all stores)

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.
