Good "passing through" job, maybe not good for career. - Membership Associate Sam's Club Employee Review

Pros

Pretty good pay for the job you do. Still somewhat of a community environment even though it is a big company. Wal-Mart stock option.

Cons

Some sketchy employees, potential for lots of workplace drama. Only 30-minute lunches, often you have to eat at the Sam's Club food court because there's not time for anything else. Higher career positions seem pretty thankless, and unless you want to leave the region pay didn't seem worth it for the higher-ups.

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.
