Pros

- Flexible scheduling. At my previous job, I always worked 12 to 8 pm, so working 9 to 5, or 9 am to 1 pm was very refreshing! - Lunch breaks ( At the job before this, we did not get lunch breaks. ) - Decent hours during the summer time. ( over 28 every week ) - Free membership - Pay a little higher than average

Cons

- Extreme pressure to sell Plus memberships and lines of credit. If you were asking people, COS's would not think you were asking and would yell at you. Selling the credit was always easier than the Plus membership. - I know this is NOT the same across all Sam's Club, but a few of the COS's I worked with were very rude to me. With regards to the Plus membership upgrades, there was one in particular that would threaten to fire me if I didn't get enough. I know they had to let me know I needed to get more upgrades, but they did NOT do it in a nice way. They would threaten and harass me to get them. - Heavy lifting, but if you ask a customer nicely to help you they usually will help you lift it. Being a Sam's Club cashier was NOT for me ( personality wise and goal wise ) but it was a learning experience.

the pay is ok if it is a teenagers first job you get paid a lil more then minimum wage.

Cons

you have A lot of ignorant people coming into sams club but dont get me wrong any placeyou work that is always going to be the same, but you have some managers who are lazy and dont do anything they never come out and everytime they do something they act lie they did so much and stop what they are doing and to get an associate to do something that is not really their job.
