Sam's Club reviews

Cons are things such as having WAY to much to accomplish while other associates are allowed to have 30-45 minute chit chats out on the floor with nothing ever being said about it, if anyone even notices what's happening. It's a regular occurrence. When one of your coworkers is allowed to waste the last half hour of a shift doing nothing but talking for 20 minutes and then sitting in the break room for the last 10 minutes waiting out the time clock... Meanwhile, you have too much on your hands and are the only one in your area... I have no words to describe the resentment that situation creates.

One of the major downsides to working at sams is that they seem to be losing touch with the hourly workforce. The company is constantly trying to cut costs so that we can offer the absolute best price to our members. In doing so, however, the morale of our associates, particularly those with more than a couple years of experience, is negatively affected. Last year, the company rolled out a computerized scheduling system that scheduled associates based on need as determined by a projected sales figure. The idea was sound but the reduced staffing continues to be the main source of undue stress for both the customer and associate. If you're planning on a career with the company, you should know the health insurance plans are expensive and unaffordable for an hourly associate that needs to see a doctor regularly or one who needs to cover the medical needs of their family. In the event of a major medical emergency, however, insurance will cover 100% of expenses once you meet your out-of-pocket maximum.
