Costco Wholesale Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Costco Wholesale full-time for less than a year

Pros – If you do not have a college education, you can still get to a good salary in a short period of time....You just have to be a good fit....(See Cons)
Also, this company has a high level of Corporate Social Responsibility

Cons – Undertrained Supervisors and a very rushed environment. Unless you are in VERY good condition, this is not the job for you until you become a supervisor, then you can sit/ stand around alot.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide leadership training and "people" skills training to Supervisors. Just because they were once best in their department, does not mean they they will do well leading others.

Current Employee – been working at Costco Wholesale part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Management encourages employees to grow in their career. They want employees that want to move up in position. They like to see employees seeking education. They have outstanding benefits.
Very little turnover-solid employement. A hard worker that is dedicated will move up much faster, this is very much a result of non-motivated long term employees with little ambition.

Cons – Retail hours, A company that is hard to get into. They have to many long term employees that do the minimum amount of work. Newer employees take on more of the work load for much less than their long employed counterpart. Sometimes working weekends.

Advice to Senior Management – Be more flexible with employee shifts. Less split shifts.

Pros – Benefits are great, pleasant work environment, the Costco minimal wage I had from seasonal work was $11 an hour and bumped by .50c. I had a great 90 day review and I see nothing but a great future here at Costco. Great place if you have a client who is Learning Disabled and has great people skills.

Cons – No con's because this company knows how to take notice within.

Advice to Senior Management – I'd have to say is come visit every Costco and show that you're a big part of every workers life. I'm the only boy of two sisters in my family thanks to Costco. :) I'm very grateful for this opportunity and always look forward to working.
