I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
It took an hour. The manager was very nice and talkative and he wanted to know a lot about me. We also shared a lot in common like going to the same cc and UCLA.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Houston, TX)
Interview
Nearby Costco had an open position for a pharmacy technician so I applied. A couple of days later, I had a phone interview with one of the associate store managers. He then invited me to another interview with him and the Pharmacy Manager. When I went up there they discussed the values at Costco, the roles of a technician at Costco, and my experiences. It was a pleasant interview. I got a call a couple of days after that from the same assistant store manager, asking if I wanted to meet the GM (which basically mean I got the job). Met with him and was hired. Took a mouth swab drug test and did all of my stuff with HR.

I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale
Interview
They called me. I then went to the store. They asked me some questions. I answered them in splendid fashion. They offered me money in exchange for my services. It would have cost $6000 dollars to buy health insurance for the 3 months I wouldn't have benefits after I started. I had to decline.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Richmond, VA) in Sep 2017
