Pros

Good pay. Free membership. Good benefits compared to other places.

Cons

Terribly mean and aggressive supervisors and managers. They never complain unless it's about the cart-pushers, which they keep screwing up on and blaming on them for it. For example, Costco policy is 10 carts maximum. The employees can push more than 10 and get the job done on time. The supe's and managers then start punishing for doing more than 10, and productivity falls. We don't get done on time, and they punish us basically almost every night.

I also felt harassed by some of the higher-up employees, who feel the need to make you feel like crap just so they can boss you around.

90-day probation means you can't complain.

Advice to Management

Stop screwing around and inventing new policies every day, then punishing the employees for it.

Quit being on power trips. You mean nothing to anyone.

Take the time to compliment the workers instead of being 110% negative and pushy.
