Pros

The pay and benefits. That's it. Otherwise it's no different from any other crappy retail job.

Cons

No: training, communication, encouragement. Training is not just minimal, it barely exists. Somebody here needs to read a couple management books. Good training and reviewing that training periodically is the only route to quality employees. It also seems like they don't want to tell you your full job description so they can make you do whatever they want, whenever they want. Management just automatically assumes you're doing something wrong and never says a thing when you do something right. Various "decisions" are made by the top brass on a whim with no real thought behind it and are often changed behind their back anyway. Nobody ever knows what is going on and why. All their activities seem focused around putting out the various fires instead of planning ahead. They also constantly make new rules which fail to be enforced within a few days.

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.
