When I read posts here, I start wondering if I'm the only person here who still likes Sam's Club. I check this page because I like my job and I'm scared of losing - not because I hate the company and my life because of it.
Am I really the only one who still feels this way?
F--- you all!
Been work at sams for 18 yrs. There are time i hate my job then there time i like it. What make me stay is my co-workers.. i have seen lot if people come and go manager and co-workers it been a roller for sure
Try working there 30 plus years and then come back to the site.
Probably. Seems like..
Don’t like Sams but do agree with one reply lazy managers make it a toxic environment for sure.
Internet and social media has made many of the issues that the company has seem 1000x worse. Back in the day you would talk to your fellow “partners” (We were not called associates back then, we were partners in the company) and complain or gossip talk about what was going to happen. Now you can go online to sites like this or Reddit and hear rumors that may or may not be true, which puts pressure on some people thinking they maybe in danger of losing their jobs.
It had been my experience that if you work hard and care about what you are asked to do, there will always be a place for you in this company. The ability to transfer anywhere in the country, go to the Walmart side of the business, or even go work at a distribution center I believe gives us a lot of options that other companies do not offer. Change is never easy, and losing our PTC has been one of the most difficult changes that I have experienced in my 20+ years, but I do not stress any longer about things I can not control.
Do the workers at Sears, Kmart, Woolworths, JC Penny, Macy's etc wish their home offices would have done things differently in the past to help make the business stronger, probably. It use to take a lot more workers to build a car, and when GM filed for bankruptcy, it was crushing to so many workers and their families. I do not know how the massive push to embrace technology will make the company look like in 5 or even 10 years, but I do know that the younger generation really likes Scan and Go, Club Pickup, and 2 day free shipping on the website.
Costco does a lot of things better than we do, but they also have some of the best locations in the more affluent parts of the country, which means they have customers that have a higher household income than we do. They also have 759 locations and while we have close to 600, the Walmart “umbrella” has 6500 total locations corporately. Sam’s will always be the child of Walmart, and it’s difficult to have Bentonville running 6500 stores under one corporation. We grew too big many decades ago. Sam Walton could never have dreamed that taking the company public back in the 70’s would change retail forever, and it also made the company accountable to our shareholders. Like it or not, we have to keep investors happy, Wall Street doesn’t care what our sales were last year, they want to know why sales and profit do not keep going higher.
I like my job in the tire dept. If everyone would just go in with positive attitude your job would be better. Just do it for yourself noone else . Dont let angry coworkers bring you down . Oh yeah I have been here along time .
I rather like working at the desk. I like most of the people who work at the desk, the rest - no feelings about them whatsoever. I mind my own business and go home to my real life. I would rather be here than some of the other places I've worked in my life time. Better if I could get 40 hours a week and work fixed hours. But working for others has drawbacks: you're under someone's thumb, you work at their discretion, you do whatever you're told, you can't make more money than they allow.
It’s a check
I enjoy the work. It’s easy and simple. It’s the toxic environment of lazy people and managers that ruin the place. If everyone just helped each other out instead of saying it’s not my job code, we would be an awesome team.
I sorta like my job. But toxic management and the slackers don't make it easy. For some reason the manager likes to go after those that work hard and tells them to work harder. But then ignores the slackers and they get away with slacking.
I enjoy my job, however I hate the lack of communication by the people who are running the show. I hate the rumors. I want to know what is going on and I think everyone deserves to know the truth. I think the company is making a huge mistake by taking the human factor out of personal and h.r. The new attendance policy is horrible. It is clear that this company does not care about the employees. Having a turnover of employees is not cost efficient.
I have worked at Sam’s a year. I came from a Wallyworld.
I like Sam’s because we stock in bulk , not the little individual items like Walmart.
I like Sundays and on holidays we close.
I have started my own business , so now I am just using my paycheck to give myself a good financial cushion before I officially leave.
But I do enjoy Sam’s and all the drama . Lol
Yes you are..
Pretty Much!
