Pros

Costco has a very good starting hourly rate in this economic "depression". The 1-1/2 time pay rate for Sundays is awesome! Managers generally will leave you alone if you simply do your job & fly low under the radar...And it is certainly nice to get the free membership cards for yourself & your family.

Cons

The warehouse is freezing cold in the winter and blazing hot in the summer! Managers tend to get nit-picky about certain meaningless items, such as what type of shoes you can wear. The job can be a bit repetitive, and some of the customers can truly be obnoxious...

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.
