Pros

The pay and benefits are second to none in the industry. I work Monday to Friday and my current position is in building maintenance. This is janitorial work and some fixing stuff and painting as well as helping other departments as needed. I have the opportunity to apply for promotion or other departments if I wish. I Currently earn over 20 dollars an hour plus 2 bonuses of about $3000 each paid every June and December. We also get a turkey at Christmas. We do not pay into our benefits and they are very generous. We also get a fairly good pension and the company matches RRSP contributions to a certain number.

Cons

For most employees there are a lot of evenings and weekend work. Very poor for family life. There is some favoritism but that is not unusual for any workplace I think.

Pros

Costco is a very successful Multinational company who treats their employees very well. SInce Costco works on suck low margins it is surprising how much they invest in their employees. They do not skimp on compensation and benefits. They are leaders in the industry in that regard. Quite contrary to other retailers/wholesalers who focus on selling goods at a low price.

Cons

because it is such a large company who prides itself on quality there are several levels of signatures required for many aspects of operations. Sometimes you are delayed implementing something because you can't locate the people required to sign off on it. It is not a huge problem but sometimes it can be a hassle.
