Reliable and Decent Paying Job
Sep 16, 2021 - Tire Technician in San Diego, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Costco is great place to work if you do not have a desire to pursue a degree or any other somewhat challenging career path. The pay is great starting out and you get decent raises based on how many hours you have worked.
Cons
In southern California there is a lot of volume due to the high population so it can be overwhelming at times.

Pros
Amazing place to work for as a student. Work well with your school schedule. Quick pay raises and perks of having a free membership for yourself and 3 others.
Cons
Covid has taken some freedoms of working there and the members have taken advantage of the hospitality we pride ourself as a company.

Rotisserie room is terrible. Communication between departments was lacking at best.

Pros
good pay (time and a half on sundays) and the company treats workers well. Also, you will have off for mostly every holiday.
Cons
Not much training was offered, although I was a cashier so its not like much training is required. Also, getting shift hours for upcoming weeks can be difficult.

Terrible managers when u was working there

Overall a good job with great pay and benefits

Pay and benefits are better than most professional jobs and certainly beat the competition for similar positions in retail environment
Cons
The job is very hard work. Because the pay is so good you will be expected to work a lot harde than most people are used to.

Pros
The pay for the industry is very competitive and the health benefits are pretty good. Paid holidays. Free executive membership.
Cons
The building I work at is ran poorly. Management shows no consistancy regarding employee policies. Many managers stay in their office all day.

Pros
Pay is pretty solid for retail and everyone I work with are nice and easy going. Schedule is pretty consistent
Cons
Unfair promotions, the time with the company seems to always outweigh work ethic. Managers are not always fair with decision making.

Pros
Pay is great and every 1000 hours you get a raise and 10000 hrs you get a bonus check. You also get full benefits and paid holidays.
Cons
It's a good job but very tiring and not recommended for people who have health issues. If you do too much of a good job the managers take advantage and send you to do more work or someone else work and throw you under the bus even if it wasn't your fault.
