Fun but stressful.

Pros

Fairly relaxed atmosphere, the ability to wear jeans to work was a definite plus. As a leader, classes are provided for effective leadership habits that can also be applied to every day life. Sam's Shares are an ultimate goal for any club, the more PLUS memberships you get for your club, the greater the chance for a bonus from the company. Contests for PLUS memberships can result in fun rewards like hitting your boss in the face with a cream pie!

Cons

Sometimes, the pressure of getting PLUS memberships is a little much. As a leader in the club, that pressure is doubled, not only for yourself, but for the group of people who's performance you're responsible for.

Pros

They have pretty good pay increases. You have the ability to move up in the company. There are locations everywhere. Sam's Share.

Cons

They put a lot of pressure on you and expectations are extremely high, sometimes unattainable. They have the same goals for clubs that have don't have benefits like some other clubs do (optical, hearing, photo, and pharmacy)

Pros

Compensation is better than some of their competitors. As a cashier, the responsibilities are small and easy. Open door policy is a plus, even though much usually isn't done.

Cons

Very political environment. Promotions are based on "favorites." Communication and support from upper management is lacking. Having to transfer all their merchandise (as a cashier) is demanding and at times stupid.
