Pros

-Can move up very fast to a branch manager if you have proven your self -Great flexibility for students -nice variety of shifts

Cons

- low pay compared to Costco " we work inside Costco " , I started from min wage 10.25 and when I got the assistant manager job I used to get paid 11.25, when I got the manager job offer I was harassed by my superior so I had to leave before accepting it. - no benefits, they give you 38 hours per week as an assistant manager in order not to pay you insurance and benefit , but then again you work above 40 hours per week and most of the hours are unpaid - Senior management and head office don't know what's going on on Costco's floor in the 74 warehouses across Canada ,since they are isolated in a small office in Mississauga. - systems are always outdated , which makes the work process slower ,most of the time we have a work backlog as an assistant managers or managers, we had to carry work home or work 2 to 3 extra hours unpaid. -PWD is a second party that works for Costco , most of the time Costco don't fully cooperate with us I'm glad that I quit, it was the worst 2 years in my life

Pros

Great place to build technical skills and gain exposure to international markets. The team is collaborative, and managers are supportive of professional development. Work-life balance can be challenging during quarter-end, but overall the experience has been rewarding. The learning curve is steep, yet it pays off if you’re looking to strengthen both your analytical and communication skills

Pros

You get to meet and talk to all sorts of people You get to try and work with a variety of products Reasonable hours and pay Work isn't overly difficult

Cons

Some customers and Costco employees can be extremely rude and occasionally abuse their privileges (yelling at you and demanding things; cutting in front of others to get samples; letting their children jump around or hang off demo stations, even if there are hot ovens or sharp knives being used there) Upper management changes rules and policies too frequently (water bottles allowed at station, then not allowed, then allowed under special circumstances, then not allowed again) Expectations set by upper management can be overly difficult or impossible to meet (regardless of situation, set up and clean up should take 15 minutes, and sample tray should always be full) Vendors can have unrealistic expectations (push products constantly, even to people who can't use them; sell thousands of dollars of merchandise in a day, even if customers are saying it's too expensive)
