Sam's Club reviews

High workload, low pay, terribly managed from the top down. Not every store is the same but the Sam's club in Waco is a definite example of Walmart style management. If you are the "work smarter, not harder" type then you will have a tough type at this company. They do not reward employees who are self-motivated or innovative.

This is a Wal-Mart company so you'd be a fool to think anything positive about this company. - In order to help the company meet its sales goal, associates are pressured (almost forced) into becoming a Plus member and signing up for a Sam's Club credit card. -Associates are poorly trained. You spend your first day or two on the job stuck in front of a computer learning about the company and the basics of your job title. - Unless you're a full time associate, you're going to need a second job. Part time associates work between 8-25 hours a week. Of course you need a second source of income if those are your weekly hours; however, Sam's Club frowns upon having a second job. They want you to have open availability so you can work when they need you. If you get a second job, there is a strong possibility that you will be cut from the schedule. The same applies to college students as well. Because of this, half of the associates here depend on government benefits to survive - Very easy to move up in management with little education/training. This lead to having supervisors/managers who are incompetent (bad attitudes, poor communication skills, horrible people skills, completely clueless as to whats going on/what they're doing). - You're constantly reminded that you're replacable. "Unemployment is high! There are plenty of people who need a job," is the main thing you hear out of management's mouth. - The is a ton of favoritism. Associates who are in a clique with the right supervisors or managers can get a slap on the wrist for doing something that could cost an associate outside of the clique his/her job. -
