I've been there. Yes they don't give you much notice they are closing. They will speak to you about a severance package but unless you are full time, it's not that great. They have managers come in from other local Sams and Wal-Mart's and interview... — read more 

I am an employee of Sam’s who is losing their job because my store is closing. It does sound like they are going to be good to us. Unfortunately the next closest Sam’s is like 89+ miles away. There are 3 Wal-Marts, but I heard one of them is being... — read more 

My friend had orientation yesterday and scheduled it to today, then they cancelled again and said they're closing. Ouch.

People are brushing this off, saying that employees will be "fine" and will receive severance packages. I doubted that store-level employees would receive such packages. Can anyone verify or deny this?
