Costco Wholesale Membership Manager in Fountain Valley, CA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Pay, Benefits and Advancement opportunity. Fast paced environment with lots of activity. People will come if you build one. Most Costcos do big business and really drive sales. Lots of good people work for Costco. Some are college graduates.

Cons

Upper management treats middle or entry level managers badly. No leadership, only criticism and mentoring is much to be desired. It is difficult to break into the warehouse managers circle. Very little teaching is done and you always have to learn the hard way. You are looked upon badly if you are unable to accomplish goals that even your own manager cannot accomplish.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more supportive and give credit more often.
