Pros

I started as a cashier and worked my way through the membership desk and then to COS. My first club was a very established club with many 15+ year tenured associates that took great pride in their jobs. Pay was among the highest in the area for the job and was appropriate based on cost of living. Benefits are ok if you are a relatively healthy single, but if you have a family it can get quite pricey. If management is cool you may be able to get dibs on clearance merchandise.

Cons

In one of the clubs I worked in, there were times during the day where I was the only hourly supervisor on the floor. Management frequently disappeared when needed. Staffing at many clubs is spartan to say the least. Floor associates refuse to learn how to run register and assist front end when busy. Payroll gets extremely tight at the end of the week and leaves me short handed.

Pros

Feels like a family, good benefits. Sam's Club values your family life in relation to your work life, which is great. I have a great group of associates who I work with, and I appreciate the relationships that exist.

Cons

However, promotions aren't necessarily given out fairly. You work 45-50 hours minimum per week. Limited positions within the field to move up, and a lot of competitiion amongst other assistant managers.
