Pros

I worked for Sams for a little over 2 years, not a bad company to work for, I started at 8.00/hr and ended up making 9.00 after two years, I as part time and got blue cross blue shield medical after one year ($50/pay) and one week vacation....not many companies offer that after a year as part time these days, ESPECIALLY IN RETAIL growth was good as long as you were honest and had good attendance you would grow in the company they don't start you that high, but if you put in a few years you will make a decent living

Cons

hours are usually cut if you're part time in or around jan/feb & march

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
