Pros

Benefits are very good. In many positions, you can literally do nothing, produce nothing, and keep the same job and 2-3% pay increase every year forever. We call it "retired in place."

Cons

Salaries are 20%-30% under market for IT professionals. Executive management in I.S. has gone off the rails; multiple million(s) spent on projects that have not produced a single result, their answer is to bring in more consultants and throw more cash at it. Accountability is a word that is not in their lexicon.

Pros

Very affordable high quality health insurance benefits even for PT employees. Great for working parents who split up child care and need coverage. The key to succeeding at Costco is to work hard, have a good attitude and be nice to people. It's hard work and fasted paced, you have to be down for that to succeed.

Cons

At this warehouse you are required to work 5 days per week, even if you are PT at 24 or so hours. This means lots of 4-5 hour shifts rather than fewer 8 hour shifts which is tough for those who commute a long distance to work or have to cover day care.
