Pros

Secure job Safe working conditions Co-Workers always willing to boost up your moral when managers decide to yell for any reason

Cons

Management promises promises promises promotions to all employees and rarely follows through Managers need to realize the sales employees are why they have a job and treat them like real people Managers ask you to complete tasks that they never trained you on nor were they ever trained on it, therefore, sometimes tasks got asked of me and I went to my manager and he would say well I don't know firgure it out. True store I wouldn't make that up because I'm happy in my new career

Pros

It paid SOME of the bills and it was local.

Cons

UNDER PAID and OVER WORKED (Under Evaluation once a year) you only get a pay raise once a year the minimum 35 cents and the most 45-50 cents but there is allowed the 60 cent raise BUT NO one gets that ! You have to be a perfect employee (they tell you) but its a lie they STILL won't give it . Still expected to do more.They keep you poor financially and they hurt the economy by doing so. They keep the poor, poor ! NEVER get paid for your over time. They make you cut your hours off your shift the next day. The management is young and immature,have no people skills and inexperienced . Sams club has no business putting young people in charge when they haven't experience in that field or the respect to the older adults.They tell you they respect the individual-they don't. A 22 year old telling and giving a 40 year old advice on "how to do their job" and talking with no respect Even though the older person has been doing their job for 14 years and they just hired this 22 year old to run the department ??? Something is definitely wrong with this Wal-Mart Corporation when you have to hire young people. Why because you don't want to pay someone with experience the right money?

Pros

Sam's clubl in my opinion is the best place to work if you are in retail. You don't have to worry about working on Thanksgiving or Christmas and we close at 8:30 Monday through Saturday and at 6 on Sunday.

Cons

Management seems to be reactive rather than proactive and you are never sure of the proper procedures to do you job properly.
