Pros

+ people are very nice +i met some customers that were return customers that were very friendly +Sam's has great rotisserie chicken!

Cons

+ The management plays FAVORITES all the time. They never listen to when employees have a problem and they put managers in place that SHOULD not be managers. They just care about getting their bonus and numbers to make the company look good. The club manager that we had was LAZY. He was extremely lazy and fired good people for stupid reasons. Including several cases of harassment that weren't harassment The corporate side of sams was ok, but yet again lacks understanding to the employees and cuts off employees at certain levels. they are terrible people

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.
