Co-workers at the warehouse I worked for were all friendly. The staff are very understanding, keen and reliable. In terms of off, it is seniority base, but manageable. Love to work there again!

Tedious, but a good environment
Morning Stocker (Former Employee), Edmonton, AB – May 23, 2013
Pros: good people, helpful co-workers
Cons: disorganized management, most positions lack flexibility.
I suppose the work environment is all dependent on the particular Costco that you are applying to, but my experience at Costco Wholesale has gone quite well.

The work is a bit tedious and management can be a bit scrambled at times, but the work environment has always been great. From my experience the company seems to attract good, likable personality – more... types and very helpful individuals who do their job well. – less

Productive and Team oriented work place
Customer service representative (Current Employee), Halifax, NS – April 17, 2013
Pros: free membership
Costco is a fast-paced work environment but despite the focus on efficiency, most employees interact in a friendly manner and the managers for the most part try to make sure the employees have a good experience on a daily basis.
