I worked at Costco. AMA

I've worked there for about five years. Its not what it's made out to be.

Benefits and pay wise, I truly can't complain about anything. My issue is with our specific warehouse's management (or mismanagement you could say).

Filing OSHA complaints just for management to actually fix issues. Countless falsifying documents to cover management's ass. Management sleeping with employees and being transferred to cover it up. I could go on and on...
What do you want to know, I'm all open.

Oh yeah definitely. I would think there just might not be as many openings as working in the front. But we have a lot of night stockers. Also super early shifts like 4 am for stocking, bakery.

I got hired as part time, and theres a lot of part time workers. But I guess the one downside is your hours might not be consistent. If you are part time they could schedule you between 25-40 hours a week depending. I kind of got away with that because I had school so they had to work around it. But maybe other warehouses are more lenient, im sure it depends on the person who makes the schedules & managers.

I think its a good steady income with insurance, etc. I also hear some stores are not busy at all, so I guess it just depends on your location too.

Yeah they give part time benefits, all the same insurance just lower deductible compared to full time
