Costco

Costco is a good place to work. You have to work hard to prove yourself, but it's worth it in the end. The pay is good, especially if you work on Sundays. If you have not taken any sick days during the year, they pay the sick hours at anniversary time. Members are very pleasant for the most part, and the employees are quite friendly and helpful. The company offers bonuses twice a year, but you have to complete a certain amount of hours to qualify.

The old timers seem to take their time doing what they need to do. It's retail, which means there are not many weekends off. It's hard to take time off during the holidays. Inventory time can be a little tough on the scheduling.

Personal growth is there once you prove yourself; however, it seems that a lot of people move up quickly and easily by becoming part of the management clique. There could be backstabbing if you're not careful.

A little pushy and at times does not understand its employees. Remember, we're all human beings and have feelings. Remember, not everything at Costco requires a write-up or counseling notice.
