Pros

Great benefits and great starting hourly pay. After 6 months of working at Costco you get health,dental,optical,401k, tuition reimbursement, and more. Pay raises are also done at a pretty good rate, I believe after 400 hours you get a pay raise.

Cons

Management is not the best trained but was at least friendly. You can be moved around to different locations within the store which can be a pro if you get bored easily but can also be a con if you don't like working with food or pushing carts in inclement weather.

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.
