Pros

Relaxing, largely friendly atmosphere Low pressure Once past probationary period, you have a job for life Opportunities to move to different jobs in the company

Cons

Your value to Costco is based purely on how long you've worked there Quality of work is not especially valued Salary is low Vacation policy and 401k contributions are terrible until you've been there for many years Managers change frequently, which makes it hard to develop relationships No vacation in first year, one week in second, then two weeks.

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.
