Sams only cares about profit, not associates

Pros

some clubs offer a $2-$3 differential for working in Fresh areas

Cons

cutting part timers hours and even asking full timers to cut hours to save on payroll/wages, poor/expensive health insurance, you have to have a fully open availability even if you are part time or you will not be scheduled many hours because of new 'member needs' scheduling system, no set schedule, hard to get any vacation time approved, inexperienced management, poor pay and yearly raises, they send associates out to businesses and even houses to ask people to sign up for a sams club membership, low morale.

It was a paycheck while attending school, made a few good friends, killer yellow vest. Pushing carts could be a good work out.

Pros

Pay is usually above the minimum wage starting which is really good. As long as you do your job you "should" be ok. Tire department is known as a safe zone for the most part since most managers don't bother too much with the tire department. Cashiers tend to be the ones that everyone is after since they are required to get members to upgrade their memberships.

Cons

There are times when management gets on your case over little issues in the tire department. If you are on the floor expect way more involvement with management. For full timers the job pays very well but if your part time there is a risk of random hour cuts resulting in 30 hrs one week and 15 hours another. Its also very hard to call out sick even when policy tells you to not come in if your ill.
