Costco Wholesale – “Costco does it right.”

Pros

Costco is very performance oriented which means if you work hard you will get rewarded. Managers treat workers with a lot of respect which is likely due to the fact that the managers were once one of the workers themselves. Costco likes to promote from within the company. This is good as employees know there are always opportunities for further advancement.

Cons

Depending on the job you get you will be working non-standard (9-5) hours. This can be a good or bad thing depending on what's going on with your life. Work is done at a fast pace so if you're a pretty laid-back type of person this might not be for you.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to do what they espouse. Treat workers fairly. Pass on any savings to the customer.
