I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (El Paso, TX) in Sept 2014
Interview
Quick. Painless. Simply basic questions. If they like you, you take a drug test right after. That's when you know you are in. They make you wait in the break room, and call you to have an interview with two managers. Then you talk to the GM, if he likes you, you are in.
I had 2 rounds of interviews with 3 managers. Only took about 1 hour per each one. Asked basic questions on why I would want the job. And how to handle the job.
It was very straight forward. I ended up getting the job. The interviewer was really nice, and it was a smooth hiring process. I have been working here a long time now, and I love it.
