Costco Wholesale Employee Reviews about "great benefits"

Pros

I love Costco because they provide you with a living wage and great benefits even working part time. The people at the top of the company really work hard for the people at the bottom.

Cons

The thing that bothers me about Costco is that everyone gets practically the same pay, the raises are by hours instead of hard work. If you notice someone in your company that works harder than others, they really aren't rewarded for it.

Pros

There are so great and very good benefits

Cons

Some management needs to be trained a lot more

Pros

Pay is competitive for entry-level with no skills needed. the benefits are great and the $1.00 raises based on hours worked is an incentive

Cons

Management, seniority work culture, and work/life balance is rough

Pros

Has great benefits if you are able to stay on long term and full time. Good incentive programs and for the most part great coworkers.

Cons

They were difficult to work with scheduling wise.

Pros

Good pay Great benefits Hours Great employees It is a great place to work even though the work can be hard the pay and benefits make up for it

Cons

Members can be rude Lots of work Very fast paced no down time

Pros

It really is retail heaven. The pay is great. 30 minute unpaid lunch and two 15 minute paid breaks in 8 hour shift. Floating holidays. heard the benefits are great if you move up to part or full time position.

Cons

Very hard to get your foot in the door.

Pros

Great time friendly atmosphere easy going work place.

Cons

Schedule needs to be ahead of time. other than that a bit of better communication and all will benefit from this great place t work at.

Pros

Benefits are great for part time and you don't have to worry about falling below a certain number of hours to keep them. They generally are upbeat and do lots of employee incentives (BBQ's, etc) for goals achieved. Good company for the young, looking for a long term, solid company to work for.

Cons

A lot of people get hired part time only to find that the company can, and will work you a lot more(32-40hrs/wk). PT employees are designed for company needs. The part timers are used to fill in all the gaps of different departments and company needs. They constantly change your schedule (Although they are supposed to inform you, they don't always do). Employees are quick to learn not to check your online schedule too much because you are not responsible for changes if you are not notified. Departments are only as good as the manager and they change them up all the time to get well rounded managers. Most departments are very physical and the ones that are more relaxed go to senior people and hard to get a position in. Managers are constantly hovering/watching and give busy work to anyone standing around. There is a constant "Big Brother" feeling in the warehouse.

Pros

The atmosphere is friendly. It is a low pressure environment. The benefits are great and there is plenty of room for mobility as there are many departments and positions.

Cons

There can be some physical demands. Many items are sold in bulk and so they can be much heavier than normal.

Pros

The Benefits are great and so is the raises you get based on time on job. plus 10 sick days with 2 weeks paid vacation.

Cons

When applying for full time or trying to switch to a different position seniority comes first. So someone else who has been there longer will get that position.
