Job Description

Sam's Club is a leading membership-only warehouse club dedicated to providing our members with quality products at unbeatable prices. As part of the Walmart family, Sam's Club emphasizes a customer-centric approach, innovation, and teamwork to provide an exceptional shopping experience. Located at 1375 E Ontario Ave, Corona, CA, this vibrant retail location prides itself on offering fresh, high-quality prepared meals and rotisserie chicken that members can trust and enjoy with their families. The company fosters a work environment that values integrity, collaboration, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring every associate can grow their skills while contributing meaningfully to member satisfaction.

This role as a Prepared Meal and Rotisserie Chicken Associate involves the preparation of fresh food items daily, using precise recipes and maintaining a clean, organized workspace to deliver the freshest products to members. Associates are responsible for wrapping, labeling, and properly storing merchandise to optimize freshness and safety. The role also requires the ability to multitask efficiently, help members with bakery orders, and maintain a welcoming and positive attitude that enhances the overall shopping experience. This position is pivotal in ensuring that families have access to convenient and delicious meals, making a direct impact on their dining enjoyment.

Employees in this role work closely with their team to keep the prepared foods area well-stocked, clean, and compliant with company policies related to food safety, sanitation, and temperature control. They take ownership of shelf organization, verify expiration dates, and responsibly remove lower-quality products, all while leveraging digital tools to enhance sales and operational efficiency. Sam's Club provides a supportive environment, encouraging associates to be solution-seekers and innovators who can adapt quickly to changing work scenarios. The role offers an hourly wage range between $19.00 and $27.00, with additional performance incentives and premiums based on schedule and task specialization.

Beyond the day-to-day responsibilities, associates are encouraged to develop their expertise in food preparation, operational best practices, and customer service, with the opportunity to contribute ideas and improvements that directly benefit the club and its members. This is a part-time or full-time role that promises growth, learning, and the satisfaction of helping families bring home quality prepared meals. Sam's Club also invests in employee development through the Live Better U program, which supports education and skill-building with paid tuition and resources.

Join a dynamic team where your enthusiasm for fresh food, dedication to excellent customer service, and ability to work collaboratively will be valued and rewarded. Embrace the chance to make a difference every day while enjoying comprehensive benefits including health coverage, paid time off, and financial security options. At Sam's Club, you won't just prepare meals; you'll help create memorable experiences for families and foster a community of care and quality service.
