Pros

Okay pay, aren't closely disciplined for attendance, free lunches sometimes. The place overall is okay to work for, but you are kind of treated like another number.

Cons

If you're a cashier, management makes you use underhanded tactics and forces you to harass people to upgrade their membership or sign up for sam's club credit. You can ask people, but that's never enough. As my supervisor told me, "don't give them a chance to say no." I feel they are a company where people get treated like another number. There's a lot of pressure to get those sales.

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.
