I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale in Oct 2008
Interview
My local Costco had a job fair as they were looking to hire seasonal workers for the holidays. I interviewed with two different supervisors. The questions were very generic, more about team specific things and how you value customer service and what not. After this interview, I went to meet with the store manager who talked to me for 10 minutes and told me what he expected of me. I then had a drug test and after the drug test results, they gave me my hours. It was a pretty smooth process.

Question 1
name a time you had a disagreement with a coworker, and how did you resolve it?
Basic interview process with drug test and one in person interview. They have you come in the office and you talk to the general manager. They ask you to bring your resume and they got back to me the very next day with feedback.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Southfield, MI) in Jan 2026
Interview
Was not too hard of an interview. Asked a lot of scenario questions that will help the hiring team understand who you are, so be prepared to give real life examples. I used the STAR method to answer all the questions and I was hired on.
