Pros
Met some cool people Flexibility with your schedule In a tough economy they will hire you in with little work experience.
Cons
-Dealing with rude customers. -Never schedule enough workers. Lines always long. Let's not get greedy Walmart. How about instead of saving an extra 60 dollars we schedule another worker. This is a billion dollar corporation, it's not asking for much. -Too much gossip and drama at times. Like high school all over again. -Sometimes dull and repetitive. -Pressure to ask every member every time about upgrading their accounts and applying for credit cards. Sometimes management hides and watches you. Members have to hear all about it from both greeters at the door and sometimes even from a person independently paroling the store. And this is even if they get past the pestering direct tv and home improvement salesmen directly following the 2 greeters. By the time the member gets to you at the checkout they are annoyed and fed up and take it all out on you if you even open your mouth. -Not enough incentive for all the work you put in to sell. For example you get a top down sale for 100 dollars. Any other sales job out there you would receive a cash commission. Here you receive a mini candy bar and sometimes a balloon to put up next to your register. The once a year Sam's Share bonus isn't enough. Most people can't even take advantage of it because it's given out only one time in February. -Need supervisor assistance for everything. It takes forever to get somebody over for a key turn. You need it for opening your register, price overrides over 5 dollars, signing a customer up for credit or plus, suspending or aborting a transaction, etc. After a few months of good work let a cashier take on some responsibility. You trust us with thousands of dollars worth of transactions a day, let us be able to open our register or handle a 5 dollar price override.
