What I wish was different
Working in an optical department within a Costco warehouse brings more traffic than working at a Dr's Office or optical store. Stress levels can be higher since there are more patients to take care of and more problems can arise.
Advice
Working for Costco, you will work for your money. They pay very well and have great benefits but you do have to earn it.

Associate
April - June 2017 • Wichita, KS
What I liked
The pay was incredible, and the people were great for the most part.
What I wish was different
I wish they had been better about rotating people from outside work to inside work, and vise versa. When it's 90+ outside and I'm doing nothing but pushing carts for my six hour shift, my work quality is going to suffer.
Advice
Costco pays you about 1.5x the rate of most retail/ grocery stores, but expects you to do the work of two or three people. If you can manage that, then it is very good money. If not, it will burn you out.
