Fun but stressful.

Pros

Fairly relaxed atmosphere, the ability to wear jeans to work was a definite plus. As a leader, classes are provided for effective leadership habits that can also be applied to every day life. Sam's Shares are an ultimate goal for any club, the more PLUS memberships you get for your club, the greater the chance for a bonus from the company. Contests for PLUS memberships can result in fun rewards like hitting your boss in the face with a cream pie!

Cons

Sometimes, the pressure of getting PLUS memberships is a little much. As a leader in the club, that pressure is doubled, not only for yourself, but for the group of people who's performance you're responsible for.

Pros

If you are a college student they work around your schedule. You are given a fair amount of hours per week, yearly bonus based on how well your store does. If you are a good worker then they recognize it and offer you opportunities for advancement.

Cons

There really is not a lot of cons about working at Sam's Club, but if you are looking for a professional career outside of retail then you are not getting the experience you need.
