Pros

Costco's commitment to caring for their members and their employees is truly what they hang their hat on. They make a concerted effort to ensure their employees are happy, well compensated, and healthy. They do their best to accommodate school schedules and encourage education, as well as primarily promote from within. Truly a pleasure to work for.

Cons

Costco requires their salaried managers in their "core business" to work a minimum of 45 hours per week. They allow their "ancillary" managers to be non-salaried and earn overtime every week.

Sometimes I am required to work 12-hour days and I don't get any compensation for it, but the bakery manager makes time and a half when he works those shifts around the holidays. It's not equal.

Advice to Management

Allow salaried managers to take breaks.
