Pros

It pays Well, you get a free Sam's Club membership, the people are nice, and they give you the number of hours you want.

Cons

I was a baker so I had to come in at 5 am to open and I wasn't told this during my interview. They were not understanding of my school schedule/breaks. Some of the employees were unreliable and were not talked to by managers or fired. Everyone gossips about each other behind their backs.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, half hour lunch plus breaks, free basic membership, nice coworkers.

Cons

VERY stressful , never get breaks on time, pressure you to sell premium memberships all day everyday. Even pressure you to get it yourself. If you don't sell at least two premium memberships and premium renewals they would pull you in and talk to you aka "coaching". First one is a warning second one they right you up and make you type in on the computer how to improve yourself. After your first right up you're dream of moving to other areas of the store which are much easier with better pay is over. After the fourth or fifth one you are fired all while getting your hours reduced.
