Job Description

Sam's Club is a leading membership-only retail warehouse club that offers quality products at unbeatable prices to its members. As a subsidiary of Walmart Inc., Sam's Club emphasizes delivering exceptional value and service in a wide range of departments, including groceries, electronics, and fresh food. The company is dedicated to innovation, leveraging technology, and fostering an environment that supports employee growth and customer satisfaction. Located at 904 Pleasant Grove Blvd in Roseville, California, this Sam's Club branch is an integral part of the community, providing members with fresh and convenient shopping options. The company is committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace, ensuring a safe and productive environment for all employees.

This opportunity is for a Prepared Meal and Rotisserie Chicken Associate, a vital role focused on preparing fresh food items daily to meet the high standards Sam's Club members expect. The associate will follow detailed recipes to prepare rotisserie chicken and other warm, ready-to-eat food products. Beyond cooking, the role requires careful attention to quality control, including labeling, wrapping, and storing items appropriately to guarantee freshness. In addition to food preparation, associates will ensure that shelves are clean, merchandise is organized, and temperature controls are maintained to comply with safety and quality guidelines.

The role demands multitasking abilities, as associates will simultaneously manage food preparation and assist members with their bakery and prepared food orders. Strong organizational skills and a positive attitude are essential, as the associate plays a key role in delivering a memorable shopping experience. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams is part of the daily routine, sharing knowledge and supporting teammates to maintain operational excellence.

Associates must adhere strictly to food safety standards, sanitation protocols, and cold chain compliance to ensure all products meet safety and quality regulations. Utilizing digital tools and handheld technology is a significant component of this position, aiding in inventory management, production planning, and training. This tech-savvy approach ensures that decisions regarding product quality and customer needs are made quickly and efficiently.

Sam's Club values associates as owners who take responsibility for their work area’s performance, manage merchandise effectively, and reduce waste. The role also involves educating peers, fostering an environment of continuous improvement, and promoting high standards of service and product quality. Customer interaction is a vital facet of this position, as associates help fulfill customer requests in line with company policies while advocating for the department's quality and service excellence.

In return for your dedication, Sam's Club offers competitive hourly wages ranging from $19.00 to $27.00, with additional performance-based incentives and premiums depending on specific work conditions. Comprehensive benefits include medical, vision, and dental coverage; financial benefits such as 401(k), stock purchase, and company-paid life insurance; as well as generous paid time off including parental leave and family care leave. Additional perks include short-term and long-term disability coverage, company discounts, military leave pay, and adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement. The Live Better U program offers education benefits, paying for tuition, books, and fees for eligible employees seeking to advance their education from high school diplomas to bachelor’s degrees.

This position requires candidates to be at least 18 years old and complete job-required training and assessments within a prescribed time. Preferred qualifications include Food Handler Certification for food safety. The role offers a dynamic work environment where your passion for fresh food and commitment to member satisfaction will make a meaningful impact on families’ dining experiences. Join Sam's Club and be part of a team dedicated to providing customers with more of what they love, for less.
