Cashier (Current Employee) - Naperville, IL - November 28, 2023

Your experience will depend on leadership support. Getting to interact with coworkers makes the job fun. The pay is hard to beat as well as the benefits. Expect to be on your feet at all times and sweat. Management needs improvement.

Overall good atmosphere, good pay

Food Court Associate (Former Employee) - Tampa, FL - November 28, 2023

Good pay and benefits with room for growth. A bit too customer-centered for my taste, I wish that management stood up for employees a bit more. Fun atmosphere and paid breaks, overall decent place to work

Loved the hard work and the great benefits offered at Costco! Work hard and take the shifts you can and you will be rewarded. Could sometimes drag. I wouldn’t do the job longer than 2 years.

Productive and friendly environment

Bakery Associate (Former Employee) - Mettawa, IL - November 27, 2023

Everyone was friendly and a non toxic work environment is always nice. Supervisors and managers would leave you alone as long as you did your job properly.

This warehouse treats employees horribly specially managers and members as well

Cashier (Former Employee) - Dunwoody, GA - November 24, 2023

You are being watched all day long it is the worst place I have ever worked at. You are never appreciated but if you are not on your best behavior they talk to you like you are a child. I understand most of these managers have no education at all but do yourself a favor and do not support this place of business.

Pros

Absolutely nothing

Cons

Everything

Fun work place productive

Stocker (Former Employee) - Albuquerque, NM - November 24, 2023

great day at work. No hassle. Fun times with the crew. Stocking those shelves takes me back to the simple times. Nothing but a case of tomato sauce, a ladder, and 5-6 steps of hardwork.

Good environment for retail people

Marketing Manager (Former Employee) - Dallas, TX - November 24, 2023

Pay is good, expectations are very high as the member always comes first at Costco. Requires you to be on your A Game at all times - great insurance + benefits great for anyone looking for easy & sustainable work since they do NOT lay people off.

Mostly good if you are a good worker

Cashier Assistant (Current Employee) - Missoula, MT - November 23, 2023

Pay and benefits are excellent. The work usually isn’t too difficult. The hardest part of the job is dealing with so many people, sometimes hundreds of people every day including coworkers.Overall management is decent but there’s tons of room for improvement. The general manager is very good at his job and approachable. However with other managers, favoritism is common. By this I mean that if you have family or some other connection that got you the job there, you will be treated better and may get preferential tasks. If not then good luck. You will have to work extremely hard to prove your worth and even then, policies can be unfairly applied. Dress code and following procedures don’t count for certain employees on certain days but others will be corrected every time for minor infractions.If you can deal with this then the job isn’t bad. With so many coworkers if you don’t get along with some then you can talk to the people you do like! The experience has been overall fun and there’s plenty of room for growth if you put in the time and effort. This isn’t a job you want if you like to slack off or call off often. But if you’re a good worker then it’s a great fit.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, fun coworkers and job

Cons

Favoritism

Fast pace and good pay

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Chula Vista, CA - November 22, 2023

The work schedule is annoying at first but it gets better as you have a higher seniority. A lot of high school drama with coworkers and it can be different if it’s unionized

Food court

Food Service Worker (Former Employee) - San Bernardino, CA - November 22, 2023

Worked in food court. It was fun and pay was pretty good. Parking sucks but everything else was good. Most managers were cool. Of course you won't get a long with everyone you work with but most were good.
