Pros: Great teams, great work/life balance, great benefits.

Cons: No bonuses, no stock sharing, no company discount.

Pros: Best place to work. Good work-life balance.

Cons: Very slow. Old school type. No agile process.

Pros: Yes, they do pay better than most people, at $17/hr. The benefits are cool: vision, dental, medical. Guaranteed 25 hours minimum.

Cons: Extremely rigid on scheduling. You have to work 5 days a week, even if you're part-time. To get a day off, you have to put in a request a month ahead of time. They are extremely unwilling to cross-train and will stagnate you into hating your position until you are tired of doing your exact role for years. After a year, they will cross-train you, but only when you're done with all your front-end duties. Unwilling to upgrade to mechanical cart-pushing. Do not understand how to rotate cart-pushers to not cause burnout or heat stress. They will schedule you for 8 hours in the sun at 100+ degrees. They will short-staff outside cart people; very often, you are outside by yourself. All men are enrolled in cart-pushing and can be sent outside at any moment, even if you are not dressed for it. (They assume every male has spare changes of clothes in their car or backpack to change into for outside cart-pushing work). Even if you show proficiency or express interest in any other department, they will keep you on the front end so they can keep an eye on you at all times. Even if they send you to help another department, you are to always report back to the front end. Your reward for working hard and getting your position done is more work. You are to be available at all times for the needs of Costco.
