Pros

Make business connections for new jobs with business members checking out in your line, It's Possible to meet nice people,

Cons

Only benefit is a percentage off produce and a basic membership, The only thing management cares about is if you have sold the Plus Membership, member satisfaction is a thing of the past, You have to fight for days off, even if it's for school or to be at your own wedding! It's decent for a part time job during school, don't be a cashier, not a career opportunity. Transfer to other areas of warehouse are based on if you've sold enough plus memberships and credit cards. "Cashier" at Sam's Club is strictly a Sales position without commission or bonuses. Cashiers are treated as middle school kids. You must ask for permission to do everything. Even if a member leaves without paying, you have to wait on someone to cancel the last transaction. Supervisors/Managers are rarely where they need to be and you don't have a way to reach them besides yelling. This creates an atmosphere where you deal with angry people all day.

Pros

Stability of Company, some very good managers.

Cons

As pretty much all companies these days, they want your loyalty and give none in return, pay is low for expectations and workload. Stress is unbelievable, if you aren't a drinker..enter management and you will be. The company was much better to work for before Sams death and it became a monster.
