Pros

The best reasons for working at costco are that they offer a great benefit package and they also pay very well compared to the local grocery stores I have previously worked for. They have an open door policy which makes it easy to access the managers if a problem arises.

Cons

The hours that they offer are usually weekends and your hours never stay the same. It makes it hard to stay on a schedule when working for costco. The career opportunities aren't as great as they say they are. If I were to become a supervisor in my department I would only make $1 more an hour. Not worth the headache and doing most of our managers job.

Pros

Very affordable high quality health insurance benefits even for PT employees. Great for working parents who split up child care and need coverage. The key to succeeding at Costco is to work hard, have a good attitude and be nice to people. It's hard work and fasted paced, you have to be down for that to succeed.

Cons

At this warehouse you are required to work 5 days per week, even if you are PT at 24 or so hours. This means lots of 4-5 hour shifts rather than fewer 8 hour shifts which is tough for those who commute a long distance to work or have to cover day care.
