External TL hire questions
Hey everyone! I’m an external hire and just accepted a position as a Produce Team Lead at Sam’s Club.
I do have previous management experience from Walmart, HR experience, and some food/service experience from Starbucks, but Sam’s Club itself is completely new to me.
I’m genuinely excited for the opportunity, and I’d really appreciate positive tips, tricks, or advice from anyone who’s been with Sam’s for a while.
I know it’s easy to joke about the negatives or vent about work, but I was laid off in April and I really need this job, so I’m trying to go into it with a good attitude and set myself up for success.
If you’re currently a Produce Lead, or have been one before, I’d especially love an average day-in-the-life rundown. What does a normal shift usually look like? What should I learn first? What separates a good Produce Lead from a great one?
Any advice for a new external Team Lead would be appreciated!
