Job Description

Sam's Club, a leading membership-only warehouse club, is renowned for offering quality products at incredible value and excellent convenience to its members. With a commitment to making life easier for families and businesses, Sam's Club operates hundreds of locations across the United States, providing a wide variety of merchandise ranging from fresh foods to electronics. The company fosters an inclusive and collaborative work environment where associates are encouraged to grow and succeed through comprehensive training and development programs. Sam's Club is part of the Walmart family, benefiting from the stability and resources of a global retail giant while maintaining a focus on local member needs and community involvement.

This role as a Prepared Meal and Rotisserie Chicken Associate is integral to providing Sam's Club members with fresh, high-quality prepared foods daily. In this position, you will be responsible for preparing fresh food items by following specific recipes, ensuring that the always warm and ready rotisserie chicken meets quality standards, and properly wrapping, labeling, and storing merchandise to maintain freshness for members. The role requires multitasking abilities to juggle multiple duties, such as assisting members with bakery orders and maintaining product quality on shelves. Your role directly impacts the shopping experience of members by offering them fresh, convenient meal solutions.

You will be expected to ensure the highest standards in food safety and sanitation, maintain temperature control, verify expiration dates, and dispose of products that no longer meet quality standards. The job also involves zone management, handling claims and returns, and organizing merchandise to enhance product presentation and reduce waste. The ability to use digital tools to improve sales, manage inventory, and engage with team members is highly valued. This position provides an excellent opportunity for individuals passionate about fresh foods, customer service, and being part of a dynamic team that puts the customer first.

The hourly wage for this position ranges from $20.00 to $28.00, depending on experience and location. Additional compensation may include performance-based incentives and premiums depending on work schedules and specific tasks performed. Sam's Club offers a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision; 401(k) plans; paid time off; and unique benefits like educational tuition assistance through the Live Better U program. Whether you are starting a career in retail or looking to advance within a thriving organization, this role provides room for growth and the opportunity to make a difference in customers’ lives every day.
