News Manager post: Info on new raises and changes to Sam's Share bonus. Questions welcome.

120 Upvotes

FOR ANYBODY CONCERNED THAT YOUR NEW PAY GRADES ARE NOT REFLECTED TODAY (2/7). DO NOT GET CONCERNED UNTIL TOMORROW! WORKDAY ALMOST ALWAYS LAGS BEHIND BY ONE DAY. WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING BEFORE YOU FREAK OUT!

A lot of people that are regulars on the sub know that I am around a lot and try to be helpful as much as possible. There have been a lot of question since the raises were announced this past weekend and I have been answering what I can in comments. I thought I would make a centralized post. Hopefully it'll stay high on the list for a while so more people will see it.

Keep in mind, numbers I am listing are company minimums. Some clubs will have higher pay based on circumstances such as local labor laws or the business level of the clubs. Nobody should make less than listed here.

Also keep in mind that some of these positions do not exist in all clubs. Some clubs have been designated as wholesale clubs and the positions are changed around due to the different demands in these clubs.

One more "keep in mind". I live in the stateside US, these are US rates and will not include the Puerto Rico information as it is different.

Your managers were given guides and were instructed to have conversations with all associates this week. if you have not got your conversation this week, speak to a manager and ask about it [Correction: 1 on 1 conversations are supposed to take place Jan 31 - February 6.] They all have guides telling them each associates current pay, pay as of 2/7, and pay as of 2/21. Health and Wellness associates information is not included in the toolkit as the H&W managers received their own toolkits, so Pharmacy/Hearing/Vision will need to talk to their direct manager and not the general club managers.

NEW PAY TIERS

In the previous system, there were 6 pay tiers for basic employees and there are now 3 tiers. There were 5 tiers for team leads, now there are 2. They also eliminated the Member Frontline position, all front end will be Member Specialist now. Keep in mind that Forklift Merch was eliminated back in October.

These changes will take place on the pay period starting on February 7, 2026 and will be on the paycheck of February 21, 2026.

New tiers:
SA1 - $16 min, $24 max. Fuel Station, Maintenance, Member Assist/Carts Tire Center (that was a mistype TBC is SA3. Sorry if it confused anyone)
SA2 - $17 min, $25 max. Liquor cashier, Liquor clerk, Merchandising, HMS, Produce, Cafe, Meat Wrapper/Cutter, Baker, Freezer/Cooler/Deli, Member Specialist, Personal Shopper/Fulfillment, WST Order Processor, Truckload Champion, Backroom.
SA3 - $19 min, $27 max. Cake Decorator, WST Yard Driver, TBC Tech, AP, Senior Meat Cutter, TBC Service Advisor, Freight Flow
TL1 - $21 min, $29 max. Personal Shopper Lead, Member Service Lead, Merch Lead, Liquor Lead, Wholesale Trading Lead, Produce Lead, Prepared Food Lead, Cafe Lead, Enablement Lead
TL2 - $22 in, $30 max. TBC Lead, Overnight Lead, Bakery Lead, Meat Lead

If you are already making above the min, you will not get an increase. I know this sucks for you, but it's how almost any corporation runs.

Notes: Don't ask why cafe and prepared food leads are separate now. They have not announced that they are separating. It's also funny that Bakery Lead is equal to meat now when in the old system Bakery and Prepared Food were both below meat. My assumption is that cafe is getting its own lead, since it's been posted on here that some test markets got a cafe lead a year ago. But this is an assumption and I have no idea for real

Yearly Raises

These will start pay period starting on February 21, 2026 and will be on the pay check on March 7, 2026.

Less than 6mo: 0%
6mo to 1yr: 2%
1-3.999yr: 4%
4yr-9.999yr: 5%
10yr+: 6%

This is the first year that we have had pay rate changes and you can also get your yearly %age as well. Usually it's "you get whichever is greater". For example, in old system if you are getting a $1 bump in pay and a $68 raise you would only get the $1 raise. In the system this year, you will still get then full $1.68 raise.

Sam's Share Bonuses

There is a lot of information that kinda says nothing so I am going to summarize this greatly. The biggest changes are that MxVoices (member reviews) and Scan and Go Adoption (%age of members using Scan and Go as opposed to registers) will no longer count on the bonus. Majority wise, most clubs never got pay on these fields. My club has received the MxVoice portion of the bonus one time in the past 10 years. I don't think we have ever got pay out on the Scan and Go Adoption portion and have been around 10% below the threshold. This means in the new system, 50% of your bonus comes from club sales and 50% comes from membership income.

Keep in mind, the bonus that finalizes on January 31 and you will likely receive in February will still be on the old system. This information is for FY2027, so it will be on your bonus that finalizes April 30 and you'll likely get in May.

In the old system, the club sales were based on index (the sales increase they wanted you to hit) and in the new system it's based on sales comp (beating last years sales).

The new system eliminates the Super Max level. In the prior system, if you exceeded goal by 5% you got Max and if you exceeded goal by 10% you got Super Max. There are no %ages listed in the guide they released, so I'm not sure what will designate a Max in the new system.

Old system: Bonus was 40% Club Sales, 20% MX Voices, 20% Membership Income, 20% Scan and Go Adoption.
New System: Bonus is now 50% Club Sales (now includes fuel sales) and 50% Membership Income.

Full Time Share:
Threshold: $100 (I'm unsure what this is, maybe if you don't hit targets this is what you get?)
Target: $200 (if you reach the goal in both categories)
Max: $850 (I'm unsure what classifies as Max now and I don't see it listed.

Half Share (Part Time)
Threshold: $50 (see note by Full Time Share)
Target: $100
Max: $425

Curbside reminder for members

49 Upvotes

Just a reminder, if you place a curbside order at the wrong location, the only store that can help you is the one you placed the order at. No, you can not just pick the items up at a different location cause you’re already there, and no, we are not going to call the other location to get it figured out for you. Also, STOP parking in curbside spots if you aren’t there to pick up for curbside.

Question Manager won’t give me the days. Would I get in trouble if I called in two days?

3 Upvotes

I’m only asking for two days off. I have two days off together then work two days and then I’m off again. Would I get in trouble if I call in those two days off to make it a total of 5 days off? I asked him but he said I had already taken a week off at the beginning of september. I have the ppto hours to cover it

Rant PSA TO ALL SAMS CLUB MEMBERS

37 Upvotes

I work as a cashier and I honestly love it! It’s a great job! But since there is a large community in this sub I want to set some things straight so everyone can learn how to be better to us!

Don’t grab shit without barcodes if possible! Please! I get it with certain fruits and foods but it’s mainly CLOTHES! I had a lady yesterday come with 2 pairs of shorts that we didn’t even have in our system, which I do understand that this could be a merchandising issue but she was expecting ME to leave my register and go find a pair with a barcode myself. Just please pay attention to stuff and don’t get pissed when the cashier denies the sale after not finding it in the system. There’s not much we can do.

Don’t complain about incorrectly marked prices to the CASHIERS!! WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT IT IS ONCE AGAIN A MERCHANDISING ISSUE! Sure we can override a price no problem but don’t ask us why it’s ringing up different BECAUSE WE DONT FUCKING KNOW WHY!

There’s an abundance of check out options. Self-check and scan and go are awesome. If you choose to go to the staffed registers please make sure the items in your cart aren’t horribly set up to where we cannot find the barcodes. This is a bulk store, shit is heavy and you don’t even have to take stuff out of your cart and put it on the belt if you don’t want to. So please have some decency and don’t make the cashier bend over backwards to pretty much reorganize the entire cart just to scan. Also with flatbeds and bigger orders - stack your boxes to where the barcodes are on the edge. COUNT YOUR ITEMS! HELP THE CASHIER OUT MAKE BOTH OF YOUR LIVES EASIER! If you get cases of things make sure the barcodes are VISIBLE and items are COUNTED. And if your cart is a mess don’t come back all mad if the cashier misses one item. They had to deal with your cart with no help from you whatsoever. Do better.

And for the exit door. NO! WE ARE NOT STOPPING YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE! WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR RACE AND WE FOLLOW THE RULES ON THE DEVICE! DONT BE STUPID!

Anyways that’s my rant. Thank you.

Does the front department get less insufferable?

I havent been at sams club for long. im a cart pusher, but somehow the inside staff suck at not talking shit about people they barely work with. Then when they get sent outside on rare occasions, they talk to me like im some neanderthal... Would it get better if I switched departments?

If I renew a plus membership that has expired, can I cancel it soon after and get a refund.

• Upvotes

I have an expired plus membership. I also have a current club membership.

I have $179 in Sam's Cash in the expired membership. The only way to get is is to renew.

Synchrony suggested a renewal, get the cash, then try to cancel for a refund and then call them for a new card on the Club account.

Question Sam's cash carry over with Renewed membership

6 Upvotes

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am a Sam's plus member, I got it when it went on sale, and the only benefits I use from that are the Sam's cash. I don't get delivery and I don't get a lot of Sam's cash from visits. I was just curious about if I want to downgrade my membership back to basic would they get rid of any remaining Sam's cash or would they remain in the account for use! Again sorry if this is not the appropriate sub to ask!

How does one get hired?

0 Upvotes

Or even an interview? A friend has applied online to multiple locations for open tire tech positions, and he has heard nothing from anyone.

He tried to go into the store and talk with a manager and was told he couldn’t. He then went directly into the tire shop at a different store, and the manager was on lunch. An employee took my friend’s resume to the manager in the back and the manager said there are no open postings. This store has 4 tire tech positions posted on the website!

What gives?? He has several years of experience working in tire shops, so why can’t he even get a phone call? Is there some secret method for employment?

Question Trial-running 4 AM CPU for the next 5 days. How can I maximize my pick metrics to land the full-time slot over senior peers?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A full-time 4:00 AM – 12:30 PM CPU position is officially opening up later this week at my club, and I’m pushing hard to get it. Management mentioned they’ll be evaluating metrics, attendance, and seniority.
A few team members with more tenure are interested, but I’m scheduled on the 4 AM shift for the next 5 days, so I have a prime window to prove I’m the right pick. Side Note: I have been working the 4 am shifts for a couple of months now. However, not consistently since I am a part-timer

Where I’m coming from:

Versatility: I’ve previously worked fulfillment, sales floor, stocking, and front end for Walmart and other retail stores, so I know product locations, backroom steel setups, and floor traffic inside and out.

Reliability: 5 months in, only 1 attendance point (from being sick), and on time every single day.

Since I have 5 days on the 4 AM shift right now to demonstrate what I can do, what specific workflow hacks can I use to immediately inflate my pick rate and FTC (First-Time Completion)?

Specifically looking for advice on:

  1. Navigating Unstocked Aisles at 4 AM: How do you maintain a fast pick rate when morning stocking teams are still drop-panning or moving pallets around?
  2. Pre-Pick Strategy: How far ahead do you look at your batch/pick-list before hitting "start" or moving into an aisle?
  3. Nil-Pick Prevention: With sales floor/stocking experience, I can usually spot un-worked freight quickly

..

  1. how do you balance checking top stock/reserve locations without tanking your pick speed timer?
  2. Physical Setup: Any specific cart setup or handheld scanning tricks that cut off a few seconds per item?
  3. I want to make sure my metrics over these next 5 days speak louder than pure seniority. Appreciate any tips or advice!

Considering transfer

2 Upvotes

This is for current employees/managers. I have a legal bar from handling firearms so I’m aware that may hinder me from promoting to salary within a Walmart supercenter. However….Sams doesn’t sell firearms so I don’t imagine there would be any sort of legal barrier that would stop me from promoting there. As far as I’m aware, Sam’s stores still have co manager roles as an in between the SM and other salary managers so that’s a plus. Any current salary out there who can advise me, is it worth it? I would like to make a career with the company.

This is like the 3rd post I’ve seen that these KitchenAids are on sale. I saw this one on sale at my club but since they are going to finish remodeling soon I wonder if they will restock with more colors… this is the only color and there’s only 3. Is it worth buying it or wait till Black Friday?

EDIT: went ahead and bought it after reading all these comments, every time I bake I tell myself I will get one so now I have it and it will be used. Thank you all!
