Colorful coworkers and exciting product turn over.
Part Time Stocker (Ancien employé) – Calgary, AB – 19 février 2019
Day to day tasks were achievable and engaging and coworkers made it fun. Getting to see stock before it was available to the customers gave us a heads up for what to recommend.
Management was disorganized, and were frequently argumentative over things we had no control over, on almost a daily occurrence we were assigned tasks that we were not hired to do (wasn't in our job description or contract)

morning merchandiser (Ancien employé) – Ottawa, ON – 19 février 2019
Enjoyed my time working with Costco Wholesale in the morning merchandiser section. The staff was greta to work with, and made the working hours fly by. As a Whole Costco was a great organization to work for.

Front End Assistant (Ancien employé) – Winnipeg, MB – 14 février 2019
It was an amazing place to work, where effort is noticed and willingness to complete tasks is valued. The group became a second family and I loved spending my time there, both on and off the clock. I will gladly work for the company again.
Points positifs
Benefits at part time.
Points négatifs
Scheduling can be difficult to book around.
Can be a good company but depends on managment

Maintenance Assistant (Seasonal) (Ancien employé) – Calgary, AB – 12 février 2019
my manager and crew members are great with awesome teamwork. Give me a constant time period to work and when they are busy should have to help Front End. That quite hard.
Points positifs
Good for part time job
Points négatifs
working at night
Great group of people
Warehouse Associate (Ancien employé) – Mississauga, ON – 12 février 2019
A good place to work and the pay scale was even better. The best day was at the start of the shift. The hardest was working during inventory. When you become a Costco veteran you are in a class of your own 25 year club.
Points positifs
demos, food, pay, atmosphere
Points négatifs
inventory
Great Place to Work
Retail Sales Associate (Ancien employé) – Newmarket, ON – 11 février 2019
Costco is always in the running as one of the best places to work. Having had experience working at Costco, I can confirm this is accurate.
- My role was ever changing, I was involved in multiple facets of the warehouse operations, including marketing, cashiering and merchandising.
- The culture was great. Every year Costco would throw a terrific holiday party for it's employees.where prizes includes new TV's and electronics.
- The hardest part of the job were the hours. Retail hours are all over the place, and my typical shift would begin at 3:00 pm and would last until 11:00pm, making a social life quite difficult.
- The best part of the job was that it was ever changing. You have constant opportunity to grow within the company, as long as you are willing to learn new skills

Full of stress and Horrible Managment
Front End/Merch (Ancien employé) – Peterborough, ON – 10 février 2019
Worked at Peterborough Costco for a while as Merchandise/Front End a while back ago before I was freed.
People are nice there and wage/benefits are good. But Managment is the real joke here.
Front end Managers are usually running around like chickens with their heads cut off though and there is too much bullying/drama. To try and move up in Costco you need seniority or kissing butt through the roof. Also they are understaffed as the one who runs the building wants best building award so people have to work like there is three of them.
The worst part is the merchandising.Theres one manager who constantly harasses you,even if you’re the best worker imaginable. He will ride your butt until you break. It’s so bad that if he sees you take a free breath he will run over to you to harass.He’s also creepy and confrontational. Worst manager I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Majors Department/ Sales Representative (Ancien employé) – Calgary, AB – 3 février 2019
Sometimes the management at Costco can be hard to deal with.
Any Mistakes you may make is such a big deal with them.
They have no problem yelling at you in front of other employees and Members.
Its a pain to get hours more hours. And a pain to get time off.

Not enough hours/ Management.
Not terrible
Tire Technician/Night Merchandise (Ancien employé) – Nepean, ON – 1 février 2019
Management isn't that great, I found it really political. Showing up even a minute late looks very bad on you and is used against you even though there are 30 people scanning in at the same time, so you're bound to punch in late here and there. People are very nice that work there, the pay isn't as great as people make it out to be. Rises are baised on hours worked there, not by performance which I disagree with strongly. Don't work too hard as it's not recognised or appreciated.
Points positifs
big area, lots of employees
Points négatifs
tons of "members", very crowded work space
Intense workplace with a well ran operation
Inventory Control Specialist (Ancien employé) – Ottawa, ON – 31 janvier 2019
- Process and manage after hour inventory shipments for the meat department and deli
- Workplace culture is fast paced, supportive and inclusive work environment with opportunity for growth
- Hardest part of Costco would be the turn over for product, constantly restocking and processing shipment trucks because of the foot traffic
- Most enjoyable aspect would be the trust and responsibility you are given when you continue to ask for it.

Overall Costco is a fantastic employer.
Cashier (Employé actuel) – Dartmouth, NS – 30 janvier 2019
On a corporate level, Costco is fantastic. They have great policies which allow for high wages, benefits, job security and more. They also provide ample opportunity for advancement. The negatives however are that they require 100% availability. Being a retail store with bathing hours and days off I find this to be a very large downfall. This makes it very difficult to have a positive, manageable or predictable work life balance. Booking appointments, making plans in advance, having outside commitments such as colinteering or sports teams is very difficult to accomplish as your schedule is constantly changing and you aren’t aloud to have specific days and times which you are unavailable. A second negative would be the environment expectations and guidelines on a individual warehouse and department level. Though the policies and frameworks are strong. Indépendant stores and managers can create negative environments and expectations. However, with that in mind, overall Costco is an excellent institution who does very well for their employees.
Hones customer service skills
Demonstrator (Ancien employé) – Edmonton, AB – 29 janvier 2019
Standing for almost 8 hours straight and dealing with customers isn't the easiest, but some days you get to meet very interesting people with wonderful stories to tell. Restocking and setting up your own work station is a bit difficult at the start, especially if you don't know any of your co-workers and have no assistance, but you learn to deal with it and also expand your social network.
Be careful of running children and wild carts.

Food Service Worker (Ancien employé) – Stockton, CA – 29 janvier 2019
A typical day at Costco would always be busy. i learned time management skills, as well as communicating my ideas with a team. Management was great! I loved my supervisors and coworkers. The workplace was often crowded, but very well kept and functioning. The hardest part of the job was definitely breaking out of my shell and communicating with strangers. The most enjoyable part of the job was absolutely the people!
