I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sam's Club (Phoenix, AZ) in Jul 2016
Interview
My experience with this might be a little different than most. I knew someone who worked here and he gave me a direct name and number to call about my application. When I got an interview after about a week I applied, I met with 3 people and was hired on the spot... more like they made up their mind to hire me a while ago and just had me come in to sign papers, discussed my salary and meet my managers. No interview questions, really. They asked me to fill out the Pre-Employment paperwork (Drug test, and background check) and told me they would call me to schedule orientation. If you were offered the job days ago and are still waiting to hear about orientation, DON'T FREAK OUT like I did. If you pass the drug test (Which you yourself should know if you did or not) and haven't had a felony (Or if you have, told them about it) you should be fine. It took my Sam's a week and 5 days to get back to me. I was worried because I didn't know if they went in a different direction with some other candidate but if you wait, you should be okay. Hope this helps somebody.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What were your responsibilities at your previous job(s)?
It was good process and was happy with the interview. Very easy going and I did not wait to see the person I was interviewing with. It was casual and I understood what the job entailed
I applied online. I interviewed at Sam's Club (Newington, CT) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interviewer loved me and even spoke with the manager and got the green light to send me the offer letter. I got a rejection letter at 1am on Sunday, 3 days later. I called them 4 times, left my name and number, even applied for a different position and was told again I would be getting an offer letter.
I called a 5th time and they claimed they did a hiring freeze, they even showed me the note they wrote on my interview saying I was perfect. They still never called me back or hired me.

Interview
I wish I was able to go back in time to tell myself to not apply for this company. My experience with the interviewer was unprofessional. The manager didn’t remember my name or who I was when she was the one who organized the meeting. I had to initiate the handshake when she didn’t offer it. The whole interview was less than 15 minutes, and it was basically just her dumping a whole bunch of info about what to expect at the job and rarely gave me time to talk. The interview felt very one-sided. At the end, she was just like, “ Okay, bye” and turned her back against me in her chair. I wasted so much time preparing for this excuse of an interview and was slapped in the face with a rejection email the next day. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t get the job, I’d rather not work with a manager who is that unprofessional. They really need to train their managers in knowing how to interview applicants.
