Pros

Great place to work. Clean, respectful, career advancement available without leaving the store. Open door policy great IF needed. They work with your specific needs. Its a real family type atmosphere. Pay is decent and management is terrific. We have the best GM around and all of our coaches are great. Our store is set up to make sure both of our customers and employees are taken care of.

Cons

Hours can be hectic around the holiday season. Our store isn't one of the bigger ones yet so we don't have some of the things like cafe, gas etc. Our memberships that we used to get taken out of the paycheck deductions went away. So if you didn't have a membership on your own you will have to get one.

Pros

Pay is good. Compared to the rest of the market I cannot complain about the rate that Sam's club pays.

Cons

Lost it's culture. I think overall everything is about hitting the bottom line. I feel that Sam Walton would not be happy of the way the company has went. This isn't because of the corporate office but rather from the district manager and below.

Pros

Steady employment, stable company. They seem to have clubs open everywhere so they are doing some things right.

Cons

Attocious work conditions, promotions based upon politics and not on merit, little thought to work/life balance.
