Everything else. I was led to believe Costco was a great place to work. The interview process was straightforward. Minimal training is given, which I was surprised with, given Costco’s reputation.
The biggest issue, though, was management. The managers all seemed to have a superiority complex. They were rude and degrading. Often, when I needed help with things that only managers could do, such as grabbing change during rushes, they would flat-out ignore me. I dreaded every single day I went into that warehouse.
I cannot express enough just how unprofessional and unwelcoming the managers were. The rest of the staff was really nice, and I enjoyed working with them. Customers were also pretty nice overall. I just could not get over how horribly the warehouse was run.
Get over yourselves. You are a manager at Costco; you are not that important. Stop belittling employees and learn to communicate.

The interview process includes typical retail experience questions and scenario-based questions and answers. It is dependent on the warehouse, but it typically involves the candidate and the department manager. Overall, a fairly simple process.

Easy. Straightforward. Just like any other company. Asked a few questions about your job history and how you work with others. Then told me I should hear back in a couple days.

It was relatively easy. I just asked basic questions about experience. Most of the harder questions came from asking about customer service. Just remember they aren't customers, but members. They offer little training, so once you start, you're kin
