Pros

Wages promised in future. Start out low wages and terrible hours then if you stick around for the brass ring at least 2 years you may eventually be rewarded

Cons

Terrible management and training. Too many favorites played. Need to follow management directives exactly and bow down or you will never get promoted. Some of the work is totally demeaning like playing pseudo security guard.

Pros

As a tire installer, the working environment as a whole is amazing. The people as the Helena location is just such an amazing group of individual.

Cons

I would have nothing bad to say about Costco. The only thing bad about working there would be what is wrong with working at any big company. Just having to be held back to help people in need based on rules.

Pros

Very affordable high quality health insurance benefits even for PT employees. Great for working parents who split up child care and need coverage. The key to succeeding at Costco is to work hard, have a good attitude and be nice to people. It's hard work and fasted paced, you have to be down for that to succeed.

Cons

At this warehouse you are required to work 5 days per week, even if you are PT at 24 or so hours. This means lots of 4-5 hour shifts rather than fewer 8 hour shifts which is tough for those who commute a long distance to work or have to cover day care.
