The management was terrible with communication and no matter how hard you try, nothing you do will be good enough. - Freezer/Cooler/Deli Sam's Club Employee Review

Pros

It is always busy so you're constantly moving around. The pay was good especially for how busy and chaotic it can get in the store. If you work between a 7 and 8 hour shift, you got a 30 minute lunch and 2 15 minute breaks, which you were allowed to either sit inside in the break room or go out to your vehicle.

Cons

They expect you to be absolutely 100% perfect with everything you do. If you didn't do exactly what the management wanted in the exact amount of time you're given to get those responsibilities done, no matter how busy it is, you will get wrote up for it. It doesn't matter if you take the time to explain to them in detail why you were not able to finish the tasks they gave you, they will not listen to you and still write you up as a lesson on what to do and not do. They make you feel as if you have failed and that nothing you're doing will ever be up to their standards

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.
