Costco Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Just hired, great place to work!"

"Good company to work for however demand a lot of your time. Typical retail job. They take care of their employees and have good benefits and pay. Closed on holidays however should be prepared to work long hours before and after."

"I have worked for Costco for over 4 years. Costco is certainly a company that takes care of their employees. The benefits are virtually unmatched, and the compensation is very good for the level of experience that they require."

"The Costco wholesale vista CA location and in general- At first glance, people are happy and jovial-even when it’s not Christmas-yet-after how I watched others being treated and it then moved on to me-it was excruciating to say the least. Price Club focused on the employee- Their mantra was respect and keep happy the employee then success in the business-then-it turned into Costco Wholesale- Management picked their favorites-an absolute no no in this business-Now the company and the Teamsters union were all about the shareholders-it was confusing and hurtful to me and many others when we felt we were easily replaceable and just a body and a paycheck- I left frustrated after almost 16 years- I wanted to be useful and happy in my work like I had used to be and feel accomplished- it’s a good company for the recently graduated 18yr old to make some cash- not for the veterans though- Some feel stuck so they let themselves be treated lower-Costco as a whole is a good company-I learned a lot and met-Soooo many people -it’s just not a part of my path anymore-so I say cheers to the past and head up and strong for the next chapter"

"I have worked at Costco Wholesale since 2002. The company as a whole has won many awards and is highly regarded as a great place to work. I personally wish that the company valued degrees of higher education. I work in the mornings for the merchandising department and our shipments are constantly inconsistent which makes each day very hard to plan. Our upper management normally works 10-13 hour days and they are micro-managed on a daily basis. It's a great place if you don't have a higher education degree."

"Electronics Customer Service was pretty straightforward. Mostly worked with game systems."

"Costco was a fun place to work, but I didn't like its career path."

"I have worked for Costco for six years and they provide a good working environment and competitive salaries and benefits."

"Costco is a great place to work. They care for their employees and they are working hard on changing their approach to technology, which is great for the growth of their talent. Costco values their old-time employees greatly. They allow you to work on your own terms and there is not a lot of micromanagement but a lot of politics involved."

"A good retail experience with a variety of positions available."
