nice and stable job

Deli Service Assistant (Current Employee), Langley, BC – April 22, 2012

Pros: equal opportunities

Cons: extra hours

As long as you love your work, there is no hardest part on the job. And for me I enjoy and embrace it. Because every job I have been to and think that this job of mine feeds my family and this is for my better future too. Busy and fast-paced environment. I learned preparing foods, from raw to cooked and salads as well. I learned and enhances my ability – more... to communicate with the members though i already had a background back in London ,UK to deal with the patients and agents in the hospital setting. I enjoy working if everybody goes in the same direction. Meaning everybody is helping each other to make things out and there is always equal opportunity and division of labor. On the management side, their good for they do possible actions right away when problems arises specially on bullying. – less

Stocking Shelves

Stock Boy (Former Employee), Burnaby, BC – April 10, 2012

Start the morning off cleaning and clearing the shelves off for new product or putting product in its proper place. I learned how to time manage my own section. Worked with enjoyable people who always had a great out look on everything during work periods.

Very Fun place

Sales Associate/Customer Service (Former Employee), Commack, NY – May 11, 2013

Pros: free memberships, holiday pay, time in a half on sunday's if you were scheduled to work. bonuses, insurance benefits.

Cons: hours weren't always flexible.

Management would change alot over the months. The hardest part of the job was dealing with large items and having to lift them from the cart and check underneath them to make sure there isn't small items under. I enjoyed the holiday parties, the people I worked with went to my college with me. I learned how to deal with wholesale, how the membership – more... system works. – less

Retail Life

Front end supervisor (Former Employee), Edison, NJ – May 10, 2013

Pros: benefits and pay

Cons: long days, no set schedule

Costco pays great but Like every retail company, you have long hours and very busy shopping days. Had to have a set schedule because retail is very fast moving. Costco is a great company.

costco

Cashier (Former Employee), Brighton, MI – May 9, 2013

Pros: nice environment, lunch served all the time and snacks

Cons: working every weekend

a typical day at work was ring up members. i learned not every member is the same so you have to go out of your way to make them happy. management was nice and help full if you ever had any problems. co-workers were helpful if you needed help with anything you or a member needed.

Fun, fast paced workplace with great people and great benefits

Cashier assitant, Cart crew member (Former Employee), Henderson, NV – May 8, 2013

Pros: fun, great benefits.

Cons: random schedules for part timers.

The minute you clock-in its work. You help everyone and anyone you can and work. Customer service is the best part of the job, seeing a smiling face after you've helped someone is the best part of the job. The managers are very professional on the job but could easily be a friend outside those walls. The people you work with make the job easy, fun and – more... enjoyable. Even though you work hard, most days it feels as if your just hanging out with friends. – less

Decent place to work

Merchandising Specialist (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – May 8, 2013

The owner is an awesome guy, but it's a family run business so not much opportunity to advance. The hours and benefits are good, but overtime is required. Overall a good place to work (except for being around the chemicals all day.)

GracieLou – May 10, 2013

Hi, since you are a supervisor, do you mind giving me any insight on employee discipline there? It sounds like a great place to work but I would like to know more about if there are formal discipline policies (for stuff like harassment, missing work, unsafe work practices, poor reviews, etc)? Or is it a union situation where you have a union rep for that type of thing? Thanks!

Good solid job

Cashier (Former Employee), Montclair, CA – May 5, 2013

Pretty fast paced environment. Job can vary by the day, even the hour. You will regularly assist members in finding merchandise. Cashiers will spend most of their time ringing up purchases. Cashier assistance will help cashiers while retrieving items that members may have forgotten or could not find. You can get plenty of opportunities to work in other – more... departments. The hardest part of the job is having patience with customers. But can be said about in retail job. The most enjoyable part is your coworkers. You work close with coworkers, supervisors, and managers, which allows you to form solid bonds with them. – less

Hi, would you mind please sharing with me how Costco handles reviews? Do you get one annually? Is it a standard 3% raise, etc? What kind of formal review/feedback do you get? Thanks!

I love costco. They are a great company to work for. They take care of their employees.

Assistant Buyer (Current Employee), Issaquah, WA – May 2, 2013

Pros: great work environment, promote from within, willing to teach, great health benefits

Cons: non, i love this company

Costco is a great company to work for. I started out as a stocker and with great leadership, I am now an assistant buyer. This is a fast paced environment and you must be able to think on your feet. The members are typically weekly shoppers, so you get to know your member base on a different level versus "just another customer" in normal retail settings. – more... This is a company that makes you feel like a big family. – less

Very good company to work for

Gas Station Attendant (Current Employee), New Rochelle, NY – May 1, 2013

Excellent to their employees, and members service. Good overall management. Good people to work with. My work day consist in doing the competetive shopping on gas prices early in the morning. Then on arrival to the Gas Station making sure that every pump is operational and ready for opening time. After that I have to do the paper work every morning – more... and making sure all paer work of the previous night is in order. I've learned the importance of safety within the gas station on handeling each equipment with care and the importance of gas vapors not being released into the atmaosphere. I have a superb supervisor and co-workers. Thje hardest part of my job is trying to help every member when it's busy with alot of cars. The enjoyble part of the job is giving every member a pleasent time at the gas station. – less
