Job Description

Sam's Club is a leading membership-only warehouse club that offers a wide range of quality products at unbeatable prices. As a part of the Walmart family of companies, Sam's Club aims to provide exceptional value and a superior shopping experience for its members by offering a diverse selection of groceries, electronics, home goods, and fresh prepared foods. With locations across the United States and a commitment to innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, Sam's Club is a dynamic workplace that values team collaboration and high standards in product quality and member service.

The role of Prepared Meal and Rotisserie Chicken Associate at Sam's Club is an essential position responsible for preparing fresh food items daily, including the signature rotisserie chicken that is always warm and ready for members to take home. This role is perfect for individuals who enjoy working with fresh food, following recipes, and are highly organized. Associates in this position play a critical part in ensuring that merchandise is properly wrapped, labeled, and stored to maintain freshness and quality. In addition to food preparation, this position involves multi-tasking with member interaction, including assisting with bakery orders, ensuring clean and sanitized work areas, and maintaining high standards of food safety and quality control.

Applicants should have a passion for fresh food, a dedication to member satisfaction, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. The role requires adapting swiftly to changing work scenarios and the ability to juggle several tasks efficiently, all while keeping a positive and friendly demeanor that enhances the member's shopping experience. Team members are expected to have a comprehensive understanding of product specifications, food safety standards, inventory management, temperature control, and expiration date verification. This position also involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, utilizing digital tools for production and quality decisions, and taking ownership of the performance of the prepared foods area.

This position is hourly, with a wage range from $19.00 to $27.00 per hour, which will comply with or exceed local minimum wage laws. Additional compensation includes annual or quarterly performance incentives and possible premiums based on schedule, facility, season, or specific tasks performed. Sam's Club also offers a competitive benefits package that includes health insurance (medical, vision, dental), financial benefits (401(k), stock purchase, company-paid life insurance), paid time off (PTO, parental leave, family care leave, bereavement, jury duty), and other unique benefits such as adoption and surrogacy reimbursement, military leave pay, and the Live Better U education program.

At Sam's Club, Prepared Meal and Rotisserie Chicken Associates are more than just food preparers; they are vital contributors to the member experience, helping families enjoy great meals with quality products and excellent service. This role offers the opportunity to be part of a supportive team environment where dedication, innovation, and passion for fresh food are recognized and rewarded.
