Pros

The best part of working at Sam's Club would be the friendly coworkers. Never had a problem with anyone except once, and that was handled appropriately. Sam's pays well for our community and there have been some opportunities for me that I did not expect when originally hired. I've never had a problem getting the attention of management if we had an issue to be addressed, nor have I ever been refused for requests for assistance from management.

Cons

Cons are things such as having WAY to much to accomplish while other associates are allowed to have 30-45 minute chit chats out on the floor with nothing ever being said about it, if anyone even notices what's happening. It's a regular occurrence. When one of your coworkers is allowed to waste the last half hour of a shift doing nothing but talking for 20 minutes and then sitting in the break room for the last 10 minutes waiting out the time clock... Meanwhile, you have too much on your hands and are the only one in your area... I have no words to describe the resentment that situation creates.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
