Really? I've heard costco treats their ppl decent but I thought it was good only for redditors
No, those are the workers everyone hates. Costco couldn’t survive on their margins and man hours with warehouses full of the lazy idiots working They all think they should be CEO’s are lazy, call in, do the job of a half person but you have that at any job. They will end up at Walmart eventually.
You just have to know someone to get hired or put you’re application in and go in and talk to a manager and show initiative that you want the job and you get hired. I think it’s 17-19 starting pay now.
Topped out is 26 or 27 something with a fifty cent raise a year, meat cutters, optical and hearing aid even more. Assistants is a dollar or two less but same benefits.
1 year 1 week vacavtion, 2-5 years 2 weeks, 5 years is 3 weeks, 10 years is 4 weeks vacation, 15 years is 5 weeks. 9 days of personal time, if you don’t use them you get paid out for them. You can roll a weeks vacation $35 medical $15 for each family member and a $3,000 family out of pocket cap(except co-pay).
2 bonus a year after so many hours he gets 3,500 roughly I believe, 20 years is 4,500.
25 years 5,000 bonus and lifetime membership.
You have people will millions in their 401k that started in the late 1990’s to 2,000’s whenever they announce a special dividend liberals flip out, “it’s only for the rich” but most of his co-works with the same amount of time have 1000-2000 shares and get the dividend paid out, so a $11 dollar dividend is amazing.
Over 15 years and you have even more since stock prices were lower. He has close to 2,000 shares which is over a million.
Costco philosophy is treat your workers good and let them advertise for you you. You’re company is only as good as your employees quality of life, unlike Walmart. It’s kind of the Henry Ford model, treat you’re employees good and they’ll work hard for you.
That does sound like a good place to work, then I can understand losing the job would suck
Yeah it’s like the old factory jobs where you could live on one income if you weren’t married and have nice things. Most of the older ones are starting to retire at 55 and rolling their 401k’s over into something safer.
You can start right out of high school and make it to VP or SVP at corporate, it’s not your education, it’s what you can do. I have buddy who didn’t join the military, he started there right after high school, took a semester of community college dropped out, moved up to corporate and is living the dream as a SVP. It’s not you’re regular backstabbing who has the most education job. It’s you’re ability to do the job and that pisses off people who do have degrees.
If you ever hear a Costco employee complain irl or online they’re the lazy fucks that you’ll find at any job.
