Productive and high paced work environment
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Scarborough, ON – 14 November 2018
Costco is a very fast paced retail working environment. Management is always understanding and makes your job a lot easier. Would recommend this job to anyone working on their customer service or management skills.
Bon environnement de travail avec très bons avantages sociaux
Marchandiseur (Former Employee) – Gatineau, QC – 13 September 2018
Très bonne compagnie pour faire carrière, avec de bons avantages sociaux et une sécurité d'emploi. De plus, les possibilités d'avancement avec la compagnie sont nombreuses, l'ambiance au travail est très bien. J'ai aimé mon expérience de marchandisage, ce que j'ai moins aimé, c'est qu'on occupe un poste différent de celui pour lequel on a appliqué durant la moitié du quart de travail et j'ai moins aimé cet aspect là.
Pros
avantages sociaux, sécurité d'emploie, possibilité de monter assez rapidement
Cons
salaire

Great place to work
Cashier and Front End Assistance (Former Employee) – Langley, BC – 9 September 2018
While working at Costco, I was given the right amount of training that was needed. The supervisor was always present when they were needed. Although it was a past paced work place I never felt rushed.

Extremely Efficient Workplace with Minimal Job Security
Service Deli Clerk (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 6 September 2018
Training is sub-par, communication with management is difficult to come by, hours can be absolutely rending, and efficient use of time is valued above all else.
The people who work for Costco become kind, hardworking individuals by necessity, and the work is very fulfilling to do. Overall the job was a valuable learning experience.

Stressful busy pharmacy
Certified Pharmacy Clerk (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 5 September 2018
We would quote 2-3 hour wait times, the customers were very unhappy and sometimes aggressive.
As a part-time employee you're only guaranteed 25 hours per week but are expected to be available as if you were working a full time job, you have to work 5 days per week, even if its only 5 hour work days, which you cannot live on.
Benefits are awesome, but not worth the stress....

good for a first job
Tire Technician, Lot Attendant, Packer, Cashier (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 5 September 2018
can advance quickly if you work hard enough, but it is usually first come first serve with a lot of stuff, and seniority in others. being a packer is a nightmare.
Good
Front End Assistant (Current Employee) – Barrie, ON – 3 September 2018
Such an amazing job to have. Staff is very friendly and accepting to new workers. The most enjoyable part of the job is the people that you meet and the positive attitude everyone has when coming to work. Always putting the members first which is amazing customer service.
Okay
Product Demonstrator (Former Employee) – Regina, SK – 30 August 2018
I am involuntarily writing because this is a requirement. I don't have anything specific to say about the job. I mainly just encouraged passerby's to try out the available product and inform them on the product.
Decent job
FRONT END ASSISTANT (Former Employee) – Surrey, BC – 28 August 2018
based on seniority, very nice people that work there however if youre a male, be prepared to be used for very physical shifts. they would get me to lift heavy couches, fridges, tvs, etc but i didnt mind. have to bring in buggys at the end of each night and sometimes throughtout the day.
Pros
time goes by quickly
Cons
very very busy
Great work atmosphere, employees are very well respected and treated to great benefits.
Morning merch stocker (Former Employee) – Orleans, ON – 27 August 2018
I'd recommend anyone to work at Costco. One of the fairest companies to work for - entry level positions are treated with very high importance from all levels of management and they have a great open door policy where the managers actually listen to everyone. All in all great place to work
Never a dull moment!
membership, promotion, sales (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 26 August 2018
Working for Costco was one of the best jobs I have had. There is no typical day at Costco as it changes continuously
I learned a lot about people working with them and customer service at its best!!
The management is fair, the culture is very family oriented with a corporate structure.
The hardest part of the job would be that never assume you know everything even after 10 years dealing with people your always learning.
I loved the people I work with and miss them everyday.

It became a nightmare near the end
Cashier/Front End Assistant (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 24 August 2018
The job is quite demanding as you are on your feet all day and have to deal with members the whole time you are there. Other than that, it would be a fun job to work at if the management wasn't idiotic. Favoritism, scheduling problems, unrealistic expectations... you name it. I felt constantly belittled and underappreciated. And not to mention all the petty gossip and drama that occurred between employees. Just toxic, toxic, toxic. STAY AWAY.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Toxic work environment
Fun and helpful experinced
WAREHOUSE STOCKER (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 23 August 2018
Fast paced environment , Everyday is different so as the customers too , But employees have the same goal which is to provide a better service and affordable products with high standards
Pros
Free food
Cons
Long Tiring hours
No Life/Work Balance Provided.
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Sherwood Park, AB – 22 August 2018
I was hired as a part time cashier assistance, was given a 40 hour work load with no flexibility on scheduling or days off. Everything works off a seniority basis.. So if you are at the bottom of the food chain, well good luck... Your best chance at any grace is to make sure you are nice and liked by everyone.
tres bon pour personne sans enfants et etudiant
