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
Our Generous Company
So why aren’t we getting our 10% off fresh items for the holiday?. I have bought multiple items on multiple occasions and nothing. I’ve used scan and go and even the register and nothing. I have brought this to the attention or multiple managers in... — 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
Thank You
In case you don’t hear it enough or at all, thank you to all of you that show up to work on time, every shift, put up with all the cr-p from the public, add on all the extra work for those who call off regularly and milk the system!! Keep pushing... — 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
pay stub
Why is it taking so long now to view paystub online? I use to be able to view it at 6:00 AM now I'm lucky to see it by noon! Just another issue with a multi billion dollar corporation!
Who do I contact?
In my club w associates were basically competing for a lead position and the one that got it was a kid thats 18 just barely started and his dad use to be a corporate for sams club now walmart corporate, I smell favoritism.
Curbside associates
How bout they give us gloves with our jackets to dispense orders? Might be an idea ! Bright light could come on!
Horrible repetitive Xmas song
Anybody else ready to quit life after hearing that awful Kirby song 93654 times a day? Who is Kirby, and is this where our Sam’s share is going, how much does this company invest in this rubbish? The song is absolute trash, I had to look up the... — read more
No Turkey's
This year we are getting a Hillshire smoked ham. Yuk....
Schedule
Just a quick survey: how many fresh leads are getting their company approved weekends off or even halfway working their blocks for that matter?
Why is this acceptable?
Racism and age discrimination in our metro "D" troit market. Poor associates work years for the company just to get targeted by the management team, then written up for lame a-s reasons, fired, then on top of it the management team keys them... — read more
Jewelry
Corporate made a huge mistake when they did away with the dedicated jewelry associate. Our jewelry dept. is a hot mess. So many mistakes being made on a daily basis and then there is the misinformation given to the members. Nobody is trained... — read more
what happen to high fives, associates of month and year awards?
Did Sam's club do away with those? What about Sam's share, still getting that?
Enough is enough
Long term associate here. The club I work at is behind on trucks, managers have left or been fired, skeleton crew, steel is over capacity, several call offs everyday , but yet we are expected to have a perfect looking club. What is going on is... — read more

Had a rough day, just sharing some positive thoughts.
Prepared Food Areas - Expectations from your Lead
For those working mainly in the Prepared Food Areas… what are your expectations from your lead?
A joke
Sam’s has totally changed over the last several years. I have seen this as a former Employee of 29 years, 12 of those as a CM. They pretend to be fair and consistent, but are definitely not. I have seen so many inconsistencies and favoritism over... — read more
Holiday
The Holiday Season has arrived. Ten weeks of events, nonstop changes, plus challenges, 13 hours days, perfect looking clubs, and no family time. Enjoy.
Can management deny PPTO (not PTO)?
I know this has been asked before but it keeps happening to people & I’m just wondering if we’re not understanding. Can management deny PPTO??? Not PTO. I’m talking like you call in sick one morning & use ppto & it gets denied?!?! I thought the... — read more
Pay
Home office had decided what jobs are more important. We all work for the same company. This is why we can’t keep people and it would take you 5 years to make $1.00 with the 2% increase. Sam’s is no place to support a family it’s high school wages. — read more
Movie Mahem
Please watch the movie Mayhem... It is a great representation of work at Sam's club and the inner thoughts of those who work there.
Ageism is a company-wide thing
It's happening everywhere. It's happening in Georgia and I'm sure others can add about their states. This is nothing new. This will keep happening as long as we are willing to accept it and do nothing about it. But I guess we're too lazy, too scared... — read more
Michigan clubs
Question, what clubs are experiencing discrimination from their management team towards elders as well as long term associates? Have they targeted these associates and fired them for little to no reason? There is gonna be a huge lawsuit soon so we... — read more
DC overload
Anyone else’s club behind in DC’s?? I’m not talking 1 or 2…. I’m talking 7 or more . Our club has so many DC’s sitting out in the lot and we have no steel space . Everyone is stocking like crazy but we just can’t keep up. Some of the products we... — read more
Lead assessment
How many people have taken a lead assessment? Is it rated red, yellow, green? Do you automatically fail if you dont complete it in one sitting?
Over 65
I'm a 65 year old woman and have worked at Sams for 30 years. I'm very healthy and can still do my job. I have to work, I don't work for extra money. My problem is a 59 year old male team lead that has been calling me old and it bothers me. What... — read more
All Front End has to train for Cafe'
Was told email came out today that the "company" wants all Front End associates trained for Cafe'. I could understand if Fresh associates had to train for Cafe' or even floor associates maybe, front end associates last but this is ridiculous. Front... — read more
General Manager
Our new General Manager is a disrespectfull person and is a control freak. So many good people quit and there's soooooo many complaints on him. He don't care about you or your family's needs. Bring our old one back!
Carmen
Whos tired of Carmen coming to their club?
Job codes
Is it an ethics issue to job code a person simply to raise their wage when they actually continue to do the same job they were doing ? Example: cashier, less then a year employment, starts at 15.00, now job coded member champion, makes 18 yet only... — read more
Breaks my heart how much this place has changed
These days I'm particularly nostalgic for some reason. Why did this place have to change so much for the worse? I remember the time when we enjoyed working here. It was fun. Thanks to the leadership and their decisions, this is now a mess that will... — read more
Inappropriate behavior
When I started my shift this morning in produce department I caught my team lead and bakery associate doing something inappropriate in the produce walk in cooler and I go and let the opening manager know first thing he says is we are going to keep... — read more
Managers
Young managers are programmed to push you out of the way because your job is not important to them, but when they need something because they have no clue, they ask for your help in a nice way. But your considered very low to them.
