Pros

People matter here. The culture is casual and job security is strong. Many managers and areas take employee development to heart. There's a lot of opportunity to learn and grow. The company takes its mission statement and Code of Ethics seriously.

Cons

If you're a woman, know the corporate environment is strongly male. Many people have held their positions for so long that the culture can feel complacent at times, depending on which area you work. Different areas can be competitive with one another and become siloed. Salary raises are capped at 3%. No vacation in the first year, unless specifically negotiated.

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.
