Job Description

Sam's Club is a leading membership-only retail warehouse club that provides its members with outstanding value on a wide range of quality products and services. As part of the Walmart family of companies, Sam's Club is committed to delivering exceptional customer service and building strong community connections. Known for its vast selection of merchandise, including groceries, electronics, and household essentials, Sam's Club also places great emphasis on fresh food departments such as prepared meals and rotisserie chicken to enrich members' shopping experiences. The company fosters a dynamic and inclusive work environment where associates have the opportunity to grow professionally and contribute meaningfully to the business success. Employment with Sam's Club offers competitive pay and comprehensive benefits. This position is offered on an hourly employment basis with a wage range of $19.00 to $27.00 per hour, plus potential performance-based incentive awards and additional premiums under special circumstances.

This role as a Prepared Meal and Rotisserie Chicken Associate is essential to Sam's Club's fresh food offerings. Associates in this position are responsible for preparing fresh food items daily, following specific recipes to ensure quality and consistency. Their work includes preparing and serving ready-to-eat food like rotisserie chicken, maintaining proper sanitation, temperature controls, and product freshness through correct wrapping, labeling, and storage of merchandise. The role involves multitasking effectively during busy periods and assisting members with their orders to create a positive shopping experience. With a focus on member satisfaction, associates maintain clean and organized shelves, monitor expiration dates, dispose of inferior products, and adhere strictly to food safety standards.

Additionally, associates collaborate cross-functionally, sharing knowledge, utilizing digital technology to improve sales and operations, and adhering to company policies on ethics and customer service. They play a crucial role in driving department performance, inventory management, and waste reduction while guiding peers in customer interaction and product quality. Beyond food preparation, the role demands innovation, adaptability, and a strong team spirit, contributing to a vibrant, efficient work environment. Employees have access to Walmart’s Live Better U program for education advancement, comprehensive health benefits including medical, vision, and dental coverage, financial programs like 401(k), stock purchase plans, and generous paid time off options including parental leave and family care leave. All of which combine to make this role not only a job but a career opportunity for individuals passionate about food service and customer satisfaction.
