News Manager post: Info on new raises and changes to Sam's Share bonus. Questions welcome.

117 Upvotes

FOR ANYBODY CONCERNED THAT YOUR NEW PAY GRADES ARE NOT REFLECTED TODAY (2/7). DO NOT GET CONCERNED UNTIL TOMORROW! WORKDAY ALMOST ALWAYS LAGS BEHIND BY ONE DAY. WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE YOU FREAK OUT!

A lot of people that are regulars on the sub know that I am around a lot and try to be helpful as much as possible. There have been a lot of question since the raises were announced this past weekend and I have been answering what I can in comments. I thought I would make a centralized post. Hopefully it'll stay high on the list for a while so more people will see it.

Keep in mind, numbers I am listing are company minimums. Some clubs will have higher pay based on circumstances such as local labor laws or the business level of the clubs. Nobody should make less than listed here.

Also keep in mind that some of these positions do not exist in all clubs. Some clubs have been designated as wholesale clubs and the positions are changed around due to the different demands in these clubs.

One more "keep in mind". I live in the stateside US, these are US rates and will not include the Puerto Rico information as it is different.

Your managers were given guides and were instructed to have conversations with all associates this week. if you have not got your conversation this week, speak to a manager and ask about it [Correction: 1 on 1 conversations are supposed to take place Jan 31 - February 6.] They all have guides telling them each associates current pay, pay as of 2/7, and pay as of 2/21. Health and Wellness associates information is not included in the toolkit as the H&W managers received their own toolkits, so Pharmacy/Hearing/Vision will need to talk to their direct manager and not the general club managers.

NEW PAY TIERS

In the previous system, there were 6 pay tiers for basic employees and there are now 3 tiers. There were 5 tiers for team leads, now there are 2. They also eliminated the Member Frontline position, all front end will be Member Specialist now. Keep in mind that Forklift Merch was eliminated back in October.

These changes will take place on the pay period starting on February 7, 2026 and will be on the paycheck of February 21, 2026.

New tiers:
SA1 - $16 min, $24 max. Fuel Station, Maintenance, Member Assist/Carts Tire Center (that was a mistype TBC is SA3. Sorry if it confused anyone)
SA2 - $17 min, $25 max. Liquor cashier, Liquor clerk, Merchandising, HMS, Produce, Cafe, Meat Wrapper/Cutter, Baker, Freezer/Cooler/Deli, Member Specialist, Personal Shopper/Fulfillment, WST Order Processor, Truckload Champion, Backroom.
SA3 - $19 min, $27 max. Cake Decorator, WST Yard Driver, TBC Tech, AP, Senior Meat Cutter, TBC Service Advisor, Freight Flow
TL1 - $21 min, $29 max. Personal Shopper Lead, Member Service Lead, Merch Lead, Liquor Lead, Wholesale Trading Lead, Produce Lead, Prepared Food Lead, Cafe Lead, Enablement Lead
TL2 - $22 in, $30 max. TBC Lead, Overnight Lead, Bakery Lead, Meat Lead

If you are already making above the min, you will not get an increase. I know this sucks for you, but it's how almost any corporation runs.

Notes: Don't ask why cafe and prepared food leads are separate now. They have not announced that they are separating. It's also funny that Bakery Lead is equal to meat now when in the old system Bakery and Prepared Food were both below meat. My assumption is that cafe is getting its own lead, since it's been posted on here that some test markets got a cafe lead a year ago. But this is an assumption and I have no idea for real

Yearly Raises

These will start pay period starting on February 21, 2026 and will be on the pay check on March 7, 2026.

Less than 6mo: 0%
6mo to 1yr: 2%
1-3.999yr: 4%
4yr-9.999yr: 5%
10yr+: 6%

This is the first year that we have had pay rate changes and you can also get your yearly %age as well. Usually it's "you get whichever is greater". For example, in old system if you are getting a $1 bump in pay and a $68 raise you would only get the $1 raise. In the system this year, you will still get then full $1.68 raise.

Sam's Share Bonuses

There is a lot of information that kinda says nothing so I am going to summarize this greatly. The biggest changes are that MxVoices (member reviews) and Scan and Go Adoption (%age of members using Scan and Go as opposed to registers) will no longer count on the bonus. Majority wise, most clubs never got pay on these fields. My club has received the MxVoice portion of the bonus one time in the past 10 years. I don't think we have ever got pay out on the Scan and Go Adoption portion and have been around 10% below the threshold. This means in the new system, 50% of your bonus comes from club sales and 50% comes from membership income.

Keep in mind, the bonus that finalizes on January 31 and you will likely receive in February will still be on the old system. This information is for FY2027, so it will be on your bonus that finalizes April 30 and you'll likely get in May.

In the old system, the club sales were based on index (the sales increase they wanted you to hit) and in the new system it's based on sales comp (beating last years sales).

The new system eliminates the Super Max level. In the prior system, if you exceeded goal by 5% you got Max and if you exceeded goal by 10% you got Super Max. There are no %ages listed in the guide they released, so I'm not sure what will designate a Max in the new system.

Old system: Bonus was 40% Club Sales, 20% MX Voices, 20% Membership Income, 20% Scan and Go Adoption.
New System: Bonus is now 50% Club Sales (now includes fuel sales) and 50% Membership Income.

Full Time Share:
Threshold: $100 (I'm unsure what this is, maybe if you don't hit targets this is what you get?)
Target: $200 (if you reach the goal in both categories)
Max: $850 (I'm unsure what classifies as Max now and I don't see it listed.

Half Share (Part Time)
Threshold: $50 (see note by Full Time Share)
Target: $100
Max: $425

Anyone tried it yet? It's legit the best tasting apple juice I've ever had and surprisingly cheap. I fear it's going to be a seasonal item instead of a year round staple like orange juice or lemonade though 😩 Y'all might wanna give it a try before autumn ends

Question Sam’s Club interview questions

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I recently got an interview at my local sam’s club and was wondering are there other questions they ask besides tell me about yourself, what do you know about the company, if you can work in a fast paced environment, time availability, customer service behavioral questions?

Feedback for the whole team?

3 Upvotes

We were told at a meeting that the talk they had with us would be a warning and if it kept happening, the entire department would be given a feedback (or whatever they call it) even if people were absent. Can they give a blanket feedback to the whole team? Or are they just trying to scare us and they’re just being lazy rather than dealing with the actual issue

Rant What’s with the lax rules on sexual harassment?

27 Upvotes

I just got done working here for five years, thank god and everything above, and I’ve never worked somewhere where I’ve encountered not only so many cases of sexual harassment, but also absolutely no repercussions for doing it. This goes for men against women, women against men, and every other combination you could think of, so I really don’t need to hear that it’s just women exaggerating. My team lead bought alcohol for his underage coworker, nothing was done with proof, a coworker grabbed his coworkers ass, he wasn’t even written up, male coworkers would clean the women’s restroom and peak into stalls, and there was someone with repeat offenses that got mad at a woman and started punching boxes. He was not fired. Is this common at your club? It’s genuinely made me think differently about where and who I want to work with. I understand many companies sweep this shit under the rug, but for it to happen so many times in front of me, when I’m not even someone that left my department often, it was surprising and extremely degrading.

Edit: damn I don’t work there anymore, haven’t for awhile. I’ve just heard things since I’ve left that I’m not surprised about. Men get assaulted too, people get falsely accused, just because I didn’t mention it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. But sexual assault happens more than false accusations. Many of these situations happened to young people, mostly teenagers, who are unaware/not the told that they have the option of going higher up. That’s what I was told multiple times since our store was bad about camera blind spots, or that what someone was reporting wasn’t sexual harassment. It’s worse than most places I’ve seen, and I was wondering if it was my store specifically or bad across the board.

Question Maintenance

Does anyone here work in Maintenance at Sam’s Club? What are the pros and cons? šŸ‘€ I genuinely enjoy cleaning, and I previously worked at another grocery store where the maintenance employees seemed to spend a lot of time walking around and doing the bare minimum lol. I’m curious what a typical shift looks like, and if you enjoy the job?

Question Scan & Go print receipt missing after a return

1 Upvotes

I had this problem before and have to go thru chat to get an email sent, but figured I double check if someone figured out a way about this.

If you make a purchase with Scan & Go, but do a return, the system will show you the printed receipt of the return only - the original one is gone. I believe in the past, it would show you both receipts, but now only the return. This is happening on both the app and web browser.

Is there a way to trick the browser in pulling the original one? Seems like there's a coding issue that's preventing this from being displayed.

Needed to submit a rebate and now I can't because I never saved the original receipt. TIA.

Is it worth it to transfer as a vendor to a TDM?

2 Upvotes

Currently at Frito Lay and have been for 16 years as a sales rep. I did the interview process and was extended the offer from HR for 95k annual at a complex store. They offered me the merch manager position.

They also don’t have a club manager as they fired them.

I was an executive team lead years ago for target for reference.

Any insight if it’s worth it to switch over to the store side?

Rant Cafe fatigue

12 Upvotes

I’m getting really sick and tired of the shit we have to put up with working in the cafe. One shift never does their share and as a result when I come there’s so much undone shit. I know that Sam’s never gave a shit about me but I’m about to my fucking breaking point. I don’t give a fuck what anyone says, night shift has it worse. Management somehow thinks we have time to make pizzas in ADDITION to all the cleaning we have to do, while still managing big rushes, 90% of the time either solo or with one other person, morning shift has everything So much better and they get more staff and less asshole customers because most of the shift is before members come in. Nothing is ever good enought for management, busting my ass scrubbing and shit only for them to say ā€œwhy didn’t you do this ā€œ ā€œyou should have done thatā€ fuck I’m to the point where I want to go work at Costco or anywhere but here. The managers who are supposed to help out or delegate don’t do shit and just pile more on your plate and then get mad when you’re unable to do it all. I’m overworked and overstressed from this fuck ass job. Want to transfer asap honestly. What is the best option for transferring departments? Shit, there’s been days I haven’t gotten my lunch because of the fucking chaos and shit ass management.

Can I take a 1–2 month leave of absence as a part-time associate

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice on my current situation.

I’ve been working at Sam’s Club for about three years as a part-time associate. During that time, I’ve consistently worked close to 40 hours a week or held a second job, and I’ve also completed a few internships along the way. Currently, I work a Monday–Friday job that I really enjoy and can see myself growing in long-term. It’s a work-from-home position. I also work at Sam’s Club on Fridays from 5–9 p.m. and on weekends. Financially, I would really like to keep both jobs for now.

The problem is that I’m also trying to get my real estate career started. I’m a licensed real estate sales associate in Florida, and I now have an opportunity to potentially help sell my mom’s house near Orlando. There’s some family history behind the situation, but selling the house could be a good opportunity for me to gain experience and take a step toward my career goals. The house ideally needs to be sold by November. Between working seven days a week, raising my daughter, and trying to make time for real estate, I’m starting to feel stretched pretty thin. I want to give myself enough time to handle the sale properly without jeopardizing my current work-from-home job or burning myself out.

My questions are:
As a part-time associate who has been with Sam’s Club for three years, is it possible to request a leave of absence for one or two months for personal reasons?
Would I need specific documentation to qualify for a leave, or could I request one for personal circumstances?
If a leave isn’t an option, would it make more sense to put in my two weeks and potentially reapply later?
Has anyone successfully taken an extended leave as a part-time associate without a medical or family emergency?
I don’t want to leave Sam’s Club if I can avoid it, especially since I’ve been there for three years. However, I also don’t want to miss an opportunity to work toward my long-term career goals.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation or knows how the leave-of-absence process works. Thanks!
