Raise

Anyone heard anything else about when the rest of the associates will get the raise to 15? I don't feel any other job in that store is harder than the next. I think all jobs are hard in one way or the other. I am so sick of hearing well we do this or... — read more 

Hiring freeze on managers

Company-wide. No new manager hires until further notice. Current MIT's will remain in MIT until the freeze is over. So which is it - eliminating manager positions, closing more clubs, or both?

Leads

As a Fresh TL, I'm in my element. Now they want me to be like an asst. Club Mgr. If I wanted to do that, I would have asked for it.

Club pick up

I think it’s funny how home office keeps coming up with these dumb ideas for club pick up. WE ARE NOT WALMART. 80 cases of coke will not fit on that black rolling think and will not fit in the blue basket. Now they want us to use the thank you bags... — read more

Membership desk changes??

What are all these supposed changes? From what I have seen and also heard layouts and processes are not the same almost anywhere. These changes are not going to make sense EVERYwhere. Plus, some won't follow parts of it anyway. It is the whole, "that... — read more

My opinion

My opinion on where sams club is going so wrong is the fact they are treating each club as the same. They are wanting all clubs to be just a like and well that is just not smart. Sure in big cities u have a lot of members that are young and know how... — read more

Curious

How long does it take in other clubs for orientation? When we had personnel it only took a couple of hours for the entire thing. At a club in Arizona it takes 5 to 6 hours!

Time to remove Sam

Every store this company operates, whether it's a Sam's or a Walmart, or whatever, has posters decorating some area in back, of Sam Walton in all his former folksy glory, along with quotes, and other pointless drivel from what is obviously now a... — read more

Who here has been threatened a member?

Who has been threatened by a member? Before the change, we were behind a desk and take a could take a couple steps back. Now that we are side by side with members, how do we handle the threats? There is no place to go, no barrier between us ... — read more

it's going to be an absolute catastrophe. My hope is that our situation is echoed and mirrored across the entire company. In my mind, I don't see how it can't be; given the conditions that everyone has to contend with the last five months. This... — read more

Member Experience Manager

Are they getting rid of both of these managers? One of ours moved to fresh and I’ve been hearing the other one will be losing their position, any one know anything about this?

The effort of bringing in new blood....

It seems pretty safe to say that even before the company ignorantly decided to farm out personnel to Workday, there was a considerable challenge in bringing in new hires. To be fair, the process itself was a little too drawn out when it still was... — read more

New membership desk

One register, one phone and 3-4 iPads. No smart system, no main printer, no shredder. It's tiny. This should be interesting.

It's sad that we have the "luxury to stay late" and finish our job because some of us still care about how our store should look

If we're lucky we can make it out before 1:00 am on the best day. That's with dropping pallets and stocking them all day long in between doing ma calls. pm shift has the busiest aisles while the am crew has aisle that can be ignored for a day or two... — read more

Sam’s club closing Jan 31st 2020 is this true????

How do you know all Sam’s stores are closing? Who are you to know that for sure unless you work for home office. If you do work for home office or some one big in the company you should just tell us so it wouldn’t come as a surprise to all of us.
