would be an excellent place to work at if management knew how to respect hourly associates

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay. Yearly Bonus. Easy interview.

Cons

Horrible management. Including incompetent assistant managers and team leaders. Managers have huge egos and little brains. Either you do what they say or you are out of the door. They aren't afraid to let you know you're replaceable. Little respect for the individual.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability of Company, some very good managers.

Cons

As pretty much all companies these days, they want your loyalty and give none in return, pay is low for expectations and workload. Stress is unbelievable, if you aren't a drinker..enter management and you will be. The company was much better to work for before Sams death and it became a monster.

Cashier

Pros

Some of the cashiers I work with are cool thats about it.

Cons

I've only worked for Sam's for about a month now. If I wasn't desperate for a job I would have left days ago. They force all the cashiers to sell credit cards/plus memberships. Your constantly being watched and hounded by a COS to sell, sell, sell! What I hate the most is, when your trying t sell it to someone and a "plus champion" comes and pretty much takes over by putting in their 2 cents and takes credit for the sale. Everyday I have to worry about this! Its way too much pressure on a person! I go home everyday depressed. I'm sure my fiance is tired of me complaining lol. I'm in the process of looking for a new job right now. I can't take this place anymore. If anyone is thinking about working as a cashier at Sam's don't bother. If you want to be stressed and overworked go for it!
