Depot Associate

June 2020 • West Palm Beach, FL

What I liked

The company culture. Everyone is so nice and friendly, and Costco makes sure to emphasize having good relations with our coworkers, supervisors, and managers. Since we are a depot, we don't interact with any members, so we're not surrounded by as much people that a store would have. Because of COVID-19, this is something I've been extremely grateful for.

What I wish was different

That I started earlier! I've been home since March and it wasn't until June that I got involved with Costco. I absolutely love everything about the company because I find myself extremely aligned with their values (organization, doing the right thing, being kind and respectful, delivering quality work, etc.).

Advice

Work your hardest and to the best that you can. They notice it! Costco truly notices when you put in good effort and deliver quality work. Because my values are so similar to the company's, I enjoyed going the extra mile for them.

Certified Pharmacy Technician

January 2020 • South Jordan, UT

What I liked

I love the employer. Costco is amazing, and they treat their employees like assets.

What I wish was different

I wish that there would be more help during flu season. With the fears of Covid-19 and flu season starting, there was more work than could be handled by the amount of people in the pharmacy. However, this is an issue being found among all pharmacies. There is simply too much demand.

Advice

Recognize that pharmacy is a high-stress environment. If you don't like working under stressful conditions, this is not the direction you want to go. However, Costco is an amazing employer, and they will treat you well.

Front-End Assistant

May 2020 • Helena, MT

What I liked

They pay pretty well, offer decent hours, and allow students to join a program that allows them to work only during the summer and winter breaks in order to focus on school when it's in session.

What I wish was different

It was about as I expected. I wish I could have done something within my degree, but with COVID-19 it was not really possible.

Advice

This is a good job for those who cannot get an internship within their degree and want steady income while not attending school.
