Pros

Flexible hours for part-time employees. Great environment to learn how to work as part of a team. The pay is better than minimum wage but not much. Great place to work part-time while going to school or as a second job. I would recommend to college-age people as a job that will allow you to work and go to school.

Cons

High workload, low pay, terribly managed from the top down. Not every store is the same but the Sam's club in Waco is a definite example of Walmart style management. If you are the "work smarter, not harder" type then you will have a tough type at this company. They do not reward employees who are self-motivated or innovative.

Pros

Good pay, less stressful than many kitchen jobs, guaranteed break times no matter what, good benefits

Cons

Communicating with managers is almost impossible. There are too many managers, and they are unaware of what the other ones do. The lead who writes my schedule changes constantly and I get a schedule that doesnt even make sense Ill go a week or more without seeing them (Different shifts they are at another store etc) and when I finally do talk to them they tell me to ignore what the app says. When I do that it dings me on points that affect how much PTO i accrue.
