Pic Of The Moment: Thought For The Day

56. Sam's Club is not that bad.

Your statements are not accurate.

The Sam's Club division pays hourly employees more than WalMart's Supercenter and Discount store division.

Many Sam's Club employees only want part time work. We employ many college student and semi-retired people.

You're right, part time workers make far less in a year than full time workers. That's why the 17K vs 45K is a misleading statistic. It would be more accurate to compare hourly wages. For example, a Sam's Club cashier starts at over $9/hr vs $11.50 for A Costco cashier. That equates to an annual difference of 18K vs 23K in favor of Costco cashiers.

Part time workers at Sam's Club (and WalMart) do have benefit options: Health insurance, dental, 401 K, profit sharing, st/lt disability, holiday pay, personal time.

Any Sam's Club or WalMart employee asking/requiring someone to work off the clock has committed a fireable offense. Any employee working off the clock, or with knowledge of someone else working off the clock, is risking termination for violation of company policy.

I am an hourly employee at Sam's Club.
