My name is Greg. I am a cashier at Sam's Club. My managers constantly pressure my coworkers(cashiers) and me to get members(customers) to sign up for Sam's credit cards and Sam's Plus cards to recieve cash rewards such as getting $10 back for every $500 spent. The problem is that the Sam's Plus card cost $55 in addition to $45 for a regular membership card. That's $100 a year! With these tough economic times, many of the custumers tell us(cashiers) they don't have the extra money; therefore, they are not interested. However, our managers tell us that we have to get customers to buy 3 or more upgrades(Sam's Plus or credit cards) each day or we will be written up or terminated. Not fair since we have no control over the custumers' decisions. I used to like my job to the point where I would work extra hours and days and arrive at work 30 minutes before clocking in. Now I(along with my coworkers)dread going to work because working at Sam's Club sucks big time! I would not recommend an animal work in such a difficult work enviroment.
Hello Everyone. I am back after 5 years. I had more complaints working at Sam's Club recently and quit without any notice resulting in walking off the job. Nearly 6 months past without me finding a another job. I deeply regret the decision I foolishly made. I reapplied at Sam's Club and to my surprise, I was notified that I am eligible for rehire and scheduled for 2 interviews. I passed both interviews and several days later became an employee again. I was happy and I called the store manager where I worked and told him I was sorry and thanked him for putting in a good reference for me. He forgave me and said we can start over. I know this site is for complaints only which I originally stated in my first paragraph back in 2013. However, I learned my lesson and will never burn anymore bridges. My advice to anyone thinking of quitting a job; do it the right and professional by giving a 2 weeks notice and leaving on good terms. Happy Job Today!
Go easy on the kid Tasha... There is a difference between asking employees to get customers to sign up for a card, and threatening temination if they do not get 3 people to sign up per day. Unless it has been stipulated that under the contract, they are required to get 3 people to sign up per day, you can hardly call this "expecing you to do the job you are paid to do"
