I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sam's Club (Memphis, TN) in Sept 2011
Interview
Put in an application to Sam's early in 2011, took several months to hear back from them. Once I got the call the personnel manager scheduled me for a meeting the next day. Had a brief interview with the personnel manager (nothing serious, checking if my information on my application was still correct) and scheduled a drug test and another meeting in two days. The second trip I met with the member service manager who laid out the requirements of the job (be sure to keep your confidence up during the bit on selling memberships, they aren't looking for just cashiers, they want salespeople) and asked a few generic questions about how I would handle certain situations. She then gave me some paperwork to fill out while I waited on the front end manager to arrive (W-4 and the like). The front end manager asked a few of the same questions and rehashed the importance of selling memberships, then asked if I had any questions for her about the job or the company's procedures. I accepted the job and she scheduled me to come in for orientation (paid) the following Monday.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time in your life when you were faced with a difficult problem, how did you respond to it and what was the outcome.
It was good process and was happy with the interview. Very easy going and I did not wait to see the person I was interviewing with. It was casual and I understood what the job entailed
I applied online. I interviewed at Sam's Club (Newington, CT) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interviewer loved me and even spoke with the manager and got the green light to send me the offer letter. I got a rejection letter at 1am on Sunday, 3 days later. I called them 4 times, left my name and number, even applied for a different position and was told again I would be getting an offer letter.
I called a 5th time and they claimed they did a hiring freeze, they even showed me the note they wrote on my interview saying I was perfect. They still never called me back or hired me.

Question 1
They asked typical questions, availability, experience and thats basically it
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sam's Club
Interview
I wish I was able to go back in time to tell myself to not apply for this company. My experience with the interviewer was unprofessional. The manager didn’t remember my name or who I was when she was the one who organized the meeting. I had to initiate the handshake when she didn’t offer it. The whole interview was less than 15 minutes, and it was basically just her dumping a whole bunch of info about what to expect at the job and rarely gave me time to talk. The interview felt very one-sided. At the end, she was just like, “ Okay, bye” and turned her back against me in her chair. I wasted so much time preparing for this excuse of an interview and was slapped in the face with a rejection email the next day. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t get the job, I’d rather not work with a manager who is that unprofessional. They really need to train their managers in knowing how to interview applicants.
