Pros

Great company to get into and work your way up. If you can work hard, grow and cross train as well as build connections with management you can earn great money and move up fairly quickly. If you dont have a career set and you want to work your way up in the company , you can easily transfer to other locations around the united states or work your way into corporate costco.

Cons

There are sometimes alot of micromanaging depending on what department you work in. There is also a fact of seniority and alot of people with seniority usually dont work as hard, and try to boss you around.

Pros

Amazing pay with many available hours and reduced hours in the summer if you would like to slow down as the company cuts hours back. Wonderful coworkers who were always happy to help you learn the company culture.

Cons

Culture is centered around seniority of time spent with the company. I did not see it as an ultimate con as eventually, upon staying, anyone could attain the same seniority.

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.
