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.

Pros

The pay is good and so are the benefits.

Cons

This is the worst job I have ever had. I made it 3 weeks before leaving and never coming back. They had me working 12 hour shifts when I was scheduled for 8 but couldn’t leave because I wasn’t finished with the large workload they piled on me. There was absolutely no teamwork, our manager just abandoned us so they could go hang out with their friends. There was no organization, no structure. 100% sure my manager never even knew my name. They had us breaking down pallets just to restack them. There are no consequences for management at all, they can basically do whatever they want and nobody is gonna do anything to stop it. If they're short they throw you into different departments with no training.
