The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Austin, TX) in Apr 2010
Interview
While the two people interviewing me were very nice and professional the polices Costco has in place about prev. experience not having any factor in job placement. I do not understand how they expect to get top notch people when they start everyone at $11.00 dollars an hours. As a younger person that would be fine but I have ten plus years as a manager I just can not afford to feed my family at that pay.

Other Front End Assistant Interview Reviews for Costco Wholesale
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale in May 2026
Interview
Three rounds of interviews. If you're lucky, you'll do two rounds because two managers in the room are two interviews. Then the final interview is with the warehouse manager. Be on time; I cannot stress that enough, as Costco is a very time-sensitive type of position. You only have a three-minute grace period to clock in at your normal hours. Emphasize that you are very prompt and are ready to work through the probation period.

Tell me about a time about working with a difficult coworker
What was a urgent problem you had to face and what was the result?
3 different interviews with different managers process took a while but actual interviews were quick and easy. Did have to call and follow up a lot in order to keep the process moving.
Pretty standard process, arrive at store location and interview with hiring manager. Manager was prompt and knowledgeable, thanked me for being on time. Asked good questions and gave me room to answer sufficiently.
