So my club has had several store managers and they all was cool and liked but didn't last long, so finally the company has sent a store manager that does what they expect out of a store manager, this guy is arrogant and un approachable and when you... — read more
Being a long term associate here
It is very obvious that they do not prefer long term associates here, no matter how much they are more committed to work or better employees than newbies. I'm planning to leave soon for other reasons, but also because I don't want to get myself in a... — read more

Legacy time
Has anyone actually used their legacy sick time and if so how did you go about getting it. I’m months away from retirement and have 60+ pto and only 15 hrs ppto so I want to be able to use my 184hrs legacy. I’ve been screwed over enough by this... — read more
Plus/Credit challenge, under staffed, cutting hours, what the flip?
Understaffed, they do not care, push Plus and Credit, yet they cut hours of associates with double digits and send them home during the challenges. What the flip? No cart attendants, so send worst floor associates out, they hit three cars. Kinda... — read more

Raises
So are we still getting our 2 percent raise on Feb 1st to cover our insurance going up? Cuz that's literally all it does? I haven't heard a single word about it
Less Money More Work
So at our club the managers push more work on us when others call off, and reprimand us if we don't finish our job. As I was heading to the restroom, my manager stuck her head out of the office and said "Why are not working" I had to use the... — read more
Gas station
Any changes to gas station?
If you want me to work harder, pay me more
Some expectations from employees are really unrealistic. Even if I was paid more, I don't know how I could mentally and physically deal with those double or even triple workloads. However, Sams still expects us to meet these unrealistic... — read more

The Ides of January
Companies are cutting costs. Amazon is cutting people. Bed Bath & Beyond talking about shutting their doors. Fourth quarter sales weren't where they wanted them to be. Be glad you don't work at the HO or in middle management. The cuts are... — read more
Untouchable manager
We have a manager that gets away with everything. Brings her kid to work, has dated associates, openly retaliates, etc. And nothing happens to her. You cant go to store manager cause he will just tell her and it gets worse for you. Cant go to market... — read more
Bonus Time
All that work you've done with a skeleton crew, all the blood, sweat and tears. The call offs, the lot guys not showing up, you've givin it all you've got. Your clubs made 2 million easy in the last 10 days. You've cooked your last Ham on... — read more
Mentally prepared for January inventory?
It seems to me that I can never be sufficiently prepared for it.
Christmas bonus
I envy people who get Christmas bonuses. A huge company like this should do better for its associates. Merry Christmas
This place….
I’m so disappointed in my workplace. I ABSOLUTELY could run it better, I could basically just keep doing what I’m already doing. But why? Feels like this place used to be great, but the standards are pretty low. From the TOP, DOWN. What a... — read more
LOA to work other job
Is it ok to take a medical leave of absence from Sam’s Club but continue to work my other job? Sam’s should be ok without me since everyone else usually does all my work, but my other job is a smaller competitor and I only work at Sam’s to get the... — read more
Priorities
What Fresh departments should we be sending the most help to for the holidays?
Bonus
So apparently there is bonuses for associates next year 🤔. And if you exceed expectations you can get over the maximum amount 🤯, but you have to be a salaried manager or work in home office 🙃. How do you over exceed expectations when you just walk... — read more
Bluetooth headphones
Our store had this huge meeting about having headphones in while on forklift and when club is open. Only lasted about a month, why are people so disrespectful and go right back to using them, even managers🤬🤬😍
Christmas
I'm going to campaign really hard next year for the clubs to be open on Christmas. Think of all the sales, not to mention plus and credits we are leaving on the table by not being open. The clubs have to compete in a world with the internet that... — read more
Team leader deciding to step down
I am contemplating stepping down from my position as a fresh team lead at the beginning of the year. My concern is pay. How much of a percentage will I have to lose. I have been with the company going on 15 years. And am concerned if I need to find a... — read more
New associates work harder
I’ve got to say, I’ve noticed within my club that the newer associates work harder than the associates who have been there for a few years or many years. We got a new associate in our deli section and they are doing awesome. They have only been with... — read more
Grinch
So they had to remove all the Christmas decorations except the Tree? Employees are there 40hours a week and consider this part time home.....what is wrong with this company?
Slow the forklifts down?!? What a brilliant fu----g idea!!!
Yeah, I know, you don't have to tell me: This is a waste of time, posting tirades about the stupid sh-t Bentonville does will achieve nothing. I fu----g know. Too bad, though, because I need to vent, so... I heard that this was going to happen a... — read more

ASSOCIATE DISCOUNT
No one in our club is getting associate discount except management, is this happening anywhere else? I know how much Sam's Club cares for us, with our 2% raise and all the other great perks we get.
You worry a lot about things you cannot change
I too am frustrated with the way this company is managed. However, what can we change? Is there a fertile ground for our complaints? Not really. It is not worth worrying too much about things that are not possible to control. What can be changed... — read more
CPU shifts
Was wondering about everyone's cpu shifts. We were just told the closing cpu shift is suppose to be 12:30p-9p after it being 11:30a-8p since we started block scheduling. Manager said he was told that it has been wrong all this time. Moring is... — read more

Sick Time Pay out
How do we get paid out for the sick time we could never use? I heard there’s a number we can call and someone else said just ask a manager to key it out for you? Anyone??
Backroom Scheduling for mornings
Backroom Associates!! Are there 2 of you on weekend mornings or just one?? How about during the week? Three or just two? I feel like our club is not giving us enough help so just checking to see how other clubs are scheduling. I am not including the... — read more
