Known for overworking their employees and thinking we’re disposable, it’s easier for them to fire than hire and have a habit of over hiring and doing a mass fire before the probation period is up

Pros and Cons
They offer time based raises
They think very little of the lower employees but pretend to

I started at Costco 4 years ago as a bakery clerk, and I made my way up to maintenance , decorator, baker, Supervisor and finally to being a manager in the same warehouse. Costco is a very fun environment to be, to work at. Also, very diverse. We hire all kind, no matter what situation you’re in. Costco have all the benefits that will not only take care of you and your family but will also prepare you for the future. Also, when you want to move up in the company, any manager can help you through the process. You just put in the work and prove yourself. Costco is full of opportunities, professional growth. I become a manager within my 3rd year of being employed.

Pros and Cons
Pay holidays but close, 30,60,90 days safe and good benefits
Some warehouse might not have enough employee parking lot

I really loved working there and fortunately I was on a probation work ethic for three months and I wound up going in shopping on a day I was supposed to be working but it was my responsibility to check the schedule to make sure it wasn't changed they knew that I didn't do it on purpose I thought it was my day off so unfortunately they had to let me go but it was in the best pay ever the easiest friendliest staff and I wish that I was still employed there so you'll love working there

Costco is a very unique place to work, with so much emphasis on Member Service, excellent supports from the Management in your job growth, exceptional salary and benefits. Very professional co-workers, respectful, good team works. These guys expect so much out of themselves, always feel like your part of the Team, and are preforming at a certain level. Always fell proud of being a member of the Costco families in every aspects of your life. They continue to train you every three month, regardless how many years of service you’ve been with the Company. Very high standards. Most of all very enjoyable place of work.

Pros and Cons
Very clean and huge break room, you get a pay raise continuously.
I don’t know of any.
