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

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.
