Merchandiser
May - August 2021 • Port Huron, MI
What I liked
I liked that Sam's was very relaxed and that you were given a job before you were punched in and then had 8 hours to complete your task. The team was very friendly and everyone was willing to help when needed
What I wish was different
Being that I was part time it was not easy to get time off, weekends are extremely busy at Sam's so weekends were a must. I worked from 3-11:30 and although I lived at home with my parents I never seen them during the week because of my schedule being that I am a family oriented person this bothered me.
Advice
If you struggle lifting or pulling heavy objects this is not the job for you.
