Over worked, under paid and high pressure

Pros

You will get holidays off along with additional holiday pay. Depending on your Clubs Sales you may) get a hefty end of the year bonus. Job stability.

Cons

Hectic schedule. Sam's won't work with you very well if you try to limit your availability as a full time worker. Management will be nice on paper, but in person they will have unrealistic expectations and work you to the bone. I earned my full time through hard work but I pay for it in blood...I'm safe but miserable. With understaffed departments you'll rarely be able to work just your area but you will still be held accountable for the 8 plus hours of work needed to maintain your area efficiency.

Pros

You get to get along with new people and they can keep coming back to your line, because now they'll know who to turn to for great advice.

Cons

It's hard to get people to upgrade their memberships, especially when you now realize that they either don't shop there often or they're just shot on money.

Pros

401k matching dollar for dollar up to 6%, yearly profit sharing bonus, medical benefits for part-time associates, vacation pay for part time associates, personal time for part time associates, will work flexibly with school schedule, nice break rooms, each club works at raising money for multiple charities in their community each year, lots of different positions within the same building-easy to do something else when you're tired of your job, & you can work your way up into management.. most managers started as a cart runner or cashier.

Cons

small raises once a year-40c 50c or 60c, terrible training-usually only a computer based learning (cbl) and then thrown into job with no practice, poor communication avenues from upper management down to the little guys, 1990's computer program for basic business tools like looking up stock (time to invest in new technology sam's club!), can get written up easily("job performance" can mean anything!) which will prevent you from moving around within the club for a year..
