Pros
Sam's pays better than minimum wage. They're not open 24 hours and are closed on holidays. Sunday premium is paid. Profit sharing is nice to receive once a year. You can wear jeans and mostly comfortable clothes. You don't need a college degree to move into management. Co-workers are above average in intelligence for the most part. Customers are above average types. Pretty decent little Holiday party. Good about making sure breaks are provided and on time. Prices and barcodes are accurately in sync 99% of the time. Doors close at a much more reasonable hour than other retailers.
Cons
Cashiers have become salespeople preying on captive members to sell Plus memberships, Extended Warranties, and trying to force credit cards on them when they can't even escape the pitch because you're holding their groceries hostage. In addition to making members angry, it pisses off all the people in line behind them as the wait is too long because only half of the needed cashiers are ever scheduled. Too few support people create numerous and unreasonable delays which creates even more angry customers and even higher stress levels. Break schedule for short days is inequitable. New hire training is a total joke. Cleaning supplies are almost non-existent. Employee discount is limited to 10% off overpriced produce only. Management is comprised of people with little more than a high school diploma and it shows. Not enough cash is in drawer for startup. Checkout area is unreasonably warm for employees AND customers.
