It's a good time to apply too! We just got a bump in our pay! Apply online and definitely go introduce yourself to the managers. It increases your chances :)
I have seen and know some retiree's working there F/T or P/T, it's a great feeling to see them. As a baby boomer, they are the "Backbone of Costco" as employees working in the store warehouse's. This is great to know, about all of this as an overview; on what you have told us Izzy. Thanks for posting.
When I was in 7th grade my whole school had a two field trip day to Costco and we got to be employee's for two days and I got a badge and i got to take home something from the bakery i choose cupcakes and they were moist very delicious and it was a lot of fun we were doing it for our math teacher.😊
Thanks for video breakdown. I just got hired in April and will finish my 90 days by the end of this month. I'm 34 years and Costco is the best retail job so far. I've come from Walmart and Target.
@@duckbrewI just passed my 90 days, and there’s no reason to be nervous. I came in to a pretty darn busy Costco in Chicago, and got in pretty easily after some delays in the interview. You’ve just got to be confident in yourself and know what you bring to the table. Not only telling them how you’re good, but why you’re good for the job.
Crazy that you can get benefits from part time too. Most places don't have anything for part time. All my previous part time jobs I didn't have any benefits, and if i needed to leave, I didn't get PTO/vacation/sick time either. I just didn't get paid when I needed time off. For the most part everyone who works at Costco seems really happy.
I just applied to costco, partly because of your videos. Thanks for informing me about it, they are a very unique company. I might have an advantage because they just built it in my area!
One simple thing here. Costco job is easily can make wage over 60k-70k WITHOUT any college degree if you work over 4-6years.(It can be early if you get supervisor position. Example one of my coworker got supervisor position after 1year from his hiring date and his wage is $31.40 per hour now.)
@@jaxteller99 I don’t think you can choose your role right after you hired. If you are lucky, you might able to start with night merch position. But I’m telling you, If you are hard worker and have no plan or searching jobs now, costco is pretty good place to work.
I just want to let you know, sir, that I’ve been with Costco for almost 2 years. The best damn decision I ever made. Amazing benefits, and you can also move up the ladder. My only wish is that I wish I knew this type of stuff during my high school years because if I did, I would’ve started when I graduate, but that’s OK. I started at 33 and now at 35. I’m cashier training and basically I tell myself hey if I put in 30 years I’ll be 63 or maybe I will stay until I’m 73 to get my gold badge that would be a hell of an honor
15 Years this year for me in the UK. £16.50 an hour ($20 ish) plus the big pull for us is the annual cash lump sum bonus which is pro rota but is a rarity for the industry.
Yo bro I work in the tire shop at Costco I’m a PT employee and I love it! I’m finishing up my 90 probation period. It’s a very fast paced environment to work in and I love it! P.s. (do a tire shop video) 😊🛞🛞
Yo our stock price is crazy 😂I just enrolled in the plan but it kills me when the butchers I work with tell me they were buying Costco stock for 17 dollars😵💫
hey man, love the videos! i just learned that you're a licensed optician and so am i! i just got hired part time at an optical and i was wondering if you had any advice on becoming fulltime. or transferring stores for fulltime? also were you ever interested in Becoming an optical manager?
Hey! So I actually did transfer to a different Costco for a while to get full time. Optical can be tough because of the pay we get and seems like a lot of people are usually trying to get in. Aside from voicing it to your manager and keeping an eye open for opportunities at other locations, there's not much to do to get full time. A while ago I wanted to be a manager but I am pretty happy as an employee, but if I ever wanted to do it I would definitely go for optical manager. Specially cause we don't get department transfers like the rest of them do. Best of luck to you!
Hello Costco dude! I was wondering if Costco allows partime college people. I’m thinking about applying to Costco and I’m gonna be taking classes in the fall.
Hey! Costco does work with college students. I would apply and go talk to a manager afterward to introduce yourself (they like putting a face to application names) if you get an interview, just make sure to bring up you going to college and your schedule so they can work with your hours. Good luck!
You get the 50% match capped at $500. But you also get a discretionary contribution from the company around March that’s a % of your yearly pay. It goes from 3% (less than 5 years) up to 9% (25+ years
Costco doesn’t care. You need to go through their training program to get certified. You will have a leg up though since it will be a bit easier for you. Regardless, apply, and good luck.
I saw on another video you explained your least favorite positions at Costco. Like cashier, food court and so on. Was it a choice for you that you moved around to so many positions or was it Costco that moved you around to other positions?
It was my choice. Managers do get rotated, but hourly employees like myself need to "apply." It's not as easy as "I wanna transfer" and then you're in a new department. Positions need to be available and we have to submit a letter of intent and also have an interview with the department manager.
@@CostcoDudethank you for the quick reply. I am looking to have a career change and started thinking companies like Cosco, meaning massively successful and accessible everywhere would be a stable starting point if I can get my foot in the door. Your videos have been inspiring!
@@CostcoDude Regional grocer in Texas which is also known for being a great employer. I think we can get up to 8 weeks of pto plus a week or two sick leave. my first year as a full timer I have like 3.2 weeks of pto.
3:39 So you get pay raises to the max amount of how much a college graduate makes for entry level workers? Not bad, I don't think I'll get that kind of incentive at amazon.
Yeah. I think it's the right amount for the type of work. Costco does have school programs and once you graduate you can apply for jobs within (if it's the position you're wanting) where you make more. I personally know a couple of people who worked as cashiers for 3-4 years and once they graduated they moved to a corporate office working in finance making over 100K. They are in their early 20's
@CostcoDude I'd like to know you're opinion. I'm working at amazon now for the summer as a seasonal employee; consider my time with them as indefinite because I don't know when they'll start letting people go after Prime day next month. To the point however, you think Costco as an employer would have better confidence and faith in candidates who have experienced such work conditions at Amazon?
Depends on your current job. Costco is good to start when you're younger, retired, or if you have your own business and just want benefits, which a lot of employees do.
Hi I have a question once hired on is it hard to get full time? I’m part time is there any suggestions that you have can I pick up hours how does that work?
Full time positions come up a few times a year throughout the warehouse. I think if you're willing to move to a different department you'll increase your chances. Many employees will do that or even go as far as transfer to a different building if it benefits them, like I did at one point going from a warehouse 5 minutes away to one that was 30 mins away. When I was part time and wanted more hours I'd let the scheduling supervisor know, and I would also let my co workers know that if they wanted to switch their longer shifts for my shorter ones, I'd be happy to pick up their hours. Just know switching shifts works when it's either on the same day or when you trade off on your day off. Eg. You work 4hrs Tues and have Wed off, and your coworker has Tues off and works 8hrs Wed. Hope that makes sense
When you apply on their website it will ask you what you want to apply for. Either all positions, or a specific one and you’ll get a list of every position in the warehouse(there’s 34). Excluding supervisors and management those are usually only hired from within to promote growth and opportunity.
He meant 5 weeks. One week for your first year, and your max amount of vacation is 5 weeks. You hit that at about 6-10 years of working there or somewhere along those lines I think
I just came back from an interview. I got the job, this vid and comments make me feel like I am on the right track to some type of financial stability. The interview was about 15 min long it was the manager and a supervisor. I got hired on the spot and just have to go do a drug test and get a background check and I can start orientation next week. Thank you dear God.
@@duckbrew honestly I don’t recall the exact questions. 😅. But they definitely want to hear that you want to stay with them for a while. They will ask why you want to work there. I told them that I wanted something stable that I could possibly retire with, and that the awesome part of working there is that I see peoples name tags and some say 15+ years others more than 5. But everyone seems to stay there for a long time which tells me that they enjoy working there. And that I also liked how they have different departments so I won’t ever get bored and that there is always something new to learn. They didn’t ask me much since I covered a lot with my own work experience. They did ask me if I would be ok to clean bathrooms push carts ect. Which I said answered yes, if it were necessary. Before hand I did watch some videos of interview questions they ask. There was a frame in their office that said “ don’t do things twice, do it right the 1st time”. Good luck!
@@CostcoDude I was put in the food court. I didn’t realize they have to do every role from cashier to making the pizzas. I was a bartender for 8 years so I really like the pace. When would it be a fair time to ask to be transferred to a different department?
@@anamartinez-lq8yl food court is definitely fast paced, and it gets hot fast! If you're full time it's typical to be able to apply for a different department after your 90 days. and 6 months for part timers. Though there's definitely been a lot of instances where you are able to transfer within those 6 months as a part timer. Keep an eye out for postings in the breakroom, and getting to know your coworkers, sups, and managers from other departments will take you a long way.
It can be hard to get hired because Costco gets so many applications all the time. Best time to apply is springtime and end of Summer. I made a video about it too!
