Pros
It’s a simple, easy to learn job. 6 hours with a 30 minute lunch. About 3 days a week on average. $15 an hour. Paid training. Get to basically work on your own (a plus for some)! Manager is usually there if you have any questions. Simple, just handing out samples to customers. Sometimes you do no cooking, like handing out trail mix. Sometimes you cook in microwave, oven, or on a stove top. You will usually be asked if you’re comfortable cooking raw meat, if not that’s okay.
Cons
Depending on who you are, job is only 3 days on average. Some weeks you’ll be lucky to get more (usually around the holidays). But some weeks you will get less (1-2 days). But definitely about 3 days on average. It’s a very part time job, so if you just want some extra money this is a great job. If you want to be making a real income, you’ll need a second job. Again depends on who you are, you’ll kind of work on your own so not totally able to make close connections with co worker. Sometimes the job can get a little overwhelming if your cooking and you only have so much room on your cart and things can sometimes get messy when preparing. Plus customers sometimes surrounding your cart for samples during it doesn’t help. Some of the Sams Club managers are rude, worried more about us Crossmark employees over small things rather then their own. Also some (not a lot) rude employees with a weird “us vs them” mentality. Had a lady that was mad I grabbed a water out of the break room because I’m not technically a Sams Club employee, even though there was plenty of water in the cooler as well as in the actual store if they needed to grab some more. Also I work at the Sams club location and we have our own office there and use the same break room as them, just a sad strange lady that’s harassed a few of us pretty often.
