The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale in Nov 2008
Interview
I interviewed with two supervisors then I interviewed with the manager. Basic questions were asked, like why do you want to work here and what type of experience do you have. The tird interview was very laid back, he was just their to make sure that the supervisors made the right choose. Before I was officially hired their was a drug test done at the warehouse. Results take less then ten minutes and after that I was given an orientation date.
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.
