Pros

I am working at Sam's while going to college. It is nice because the hours they need to schedule the most are in evenings when I am done with class. The pay is OK, although I know I get paid less than almost every other employee. The only way I would want to make a career out of Sam's club would be if I cannot find a job out of college, otherwise I would really prefer not work at Sam's.

Cons

I am frustrated because I feel that I am not cutting corners on things like other employees do but they get more respect even though they may not be very professional about their job at all. There are discrepancies between managers and their expectations which makes things very confusing.

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.
