Good environment and good pay. The coworkers are really nice and the managers are very understanding. I highly recommend it. ALso, they pay $17.50 an hour which is really good. They are also very understanding with vacations but just give them a 3 weeks notice. I love my job even though customers are not very kind.

Fun workplace but gets hectic/stressful during busy hours

Stocker (Current Employee) - Laval, QC - 13 May 2022

Fun workplace with fun coworkers. Managers vary as some are nice and down to earth while others couldn’t care less about your personal needs. Pay is fair while the workload seems a bit on the higher side as they expect a lot from their workers. They seek perfection and quality workers.

Where to begin?

Customer Service and Seasonal Worker (Former Employee) - Brossard, QC - 12 May 2022

I have been paid as a technician the minimum wage before this and I would still prefer to work there as opposed to Costco. Ableism is the main reason I was let go, they didn’t like that I wasn’t an extroverted employee, management is also unable/unwilling to implement a system where employees can put complaints against clients who verbally abuse or even hit them during the height of the Pandemic.

Productive and Fast paced

Bakery Assistant (Current Employee) - Sherwood Park, AB - 12 May 2022

Flexible schedule, decent enough pay and hours. Within the Bakery there is an unfortunate standard of relying too much on the more productive workers instead of equalizing out the workload so it becomes a quick lesson in doing just the bare minimum unless you want to be buried alive with extra work.Evening shifts are brutal. A perpetual balancing act of completing wrapping (that should of been finished way earlier in the day) while trying to have enough time to clean.

Good place to work but very fast pace

Part-time employee (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 6 May 2022

Very fast pace environment with constant scrutiny from manager. Good pay, good hours depending on location and what department you work in. If in merchandise department good physical health is required, lots of heavy lifting.

Cashier/Customer Service (Current Employee) - Anjou, QC - 5 May 2022

It’s a good starting job. You meet a lot of people. Workers there are friendly. A lot of diversity (age, ethnicity,etc). Time pass fast if you work with your friends.

Pros

Good salary Make a lot of friends

Cons

Poor management Standing all shift

Constant Push

Stocker (Former Employee) - Victoria, BC - 5 May 2022

A lot cool coworkers. But Costco's top value is "reward our shareholders." And that really comes clear. They will push their staff to extremes to increase output. A common joke with co-workers was that you can always do more. No matter how good or fast you get, there is always another level. Some managers are pretty nice and reasonable but one was like a boot camp leader, no exaggeration. You could be ripping so hard that you had sweat pouring down your back and they would come in and blast about taking things to the next level of output, putting it into another gear. Well there is nothing beyond turbo.

Pros

Cool co-workers. Higher wages if you stay for a long time. Clean environment.

Cons

Super hard work, always a push. Especially during stocking after store closed.

Best job I’ve ever worked other than Domino’s

Night Stocker (Former Employee) - Nanaimo, BC - 4 May 2022

Manager’s / Supervisor’s are wonderful. They are super flexible with work and personal life and treat you like a human being. Everyone on the job is usually in a good mood and I would gladly work there again in the future.

Great place to work long term

Front End, CSRP full time (Former Employee) - Richmond Hill, ON - 26 April 2022

I highly recommend working here if you see yourself working somewhere long-term outside of school. The higher-up positions pay extremely well for the task you do. I highly encourage those who reading this post to check out how much a manager, supervisor, and up make.

Busy environment with a family feel.

Pharmacy Assistant/Cashier (Former Employee) - Stoney Creek, ON - 26 April 2022

Loved this place, only downside for me was the struggle to get fulltime gig because they promote based on seniority. They recognize your work ethic but seniority will win the race to the next level regardless. Still loved it though.

Je recommande cet employeur a ceux qui n'ont pas peur des défis. Doit être rapidement autonome. La première évaluation est stressante parce que c'est la ton avenir continue chez Costco ou s'arrête là !

Very good benefits but hard work

Commis de ventes à l’électronique (Former Employee) - Boucherville, QC - 19 April 2022

You get great benefits and salary considering the low level of education needed, but expect that to be compensated by high levels of physical work. Expect to finish as late as 11:30 pm if they ask you to do merch (if there's no over time) or start as early as 4 am. Also, it's phsycially exhausting and when it isn't, it can be quite long and boring. The best part though is that they really repsect breaks and no more than 40 hours per week. Also the insurance is paid by the employer (for the entry level plan) and you get paid 2.5x your salary on holidays if you come in. Overtime is 1.5x even if you go over 1 min your 8.5 hour shift or if you go over 40 hours in the period of a week.You also get a free Costco membership and 2 extra basic cards to give to whomever you want.

Pros

Good benefits

Cons

Late hours, phsycially demanding

Fun fast paced environment, however job security is not stable when first hired.

Morning Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 11 April 2022

Very faced paced and challenging, however, it was filled with positive people that encourage you to do good. A typical day involved stocking inventory and making sure things were placed in the correct place.
