Pros
Costco Employees are very friendly
Cons
I have been a Costco member for many years and did not know that they had hard core sales people pushing products to their members in such an aggressive way. The tactics we have to use to get a member to buy a product is unbelievable for a member paid store. We are told to follow them in the pharmacy, approach them, stop them in the aisle, look in their carts for the same type of products and use high sales pressure tactics on the members to get them to buy. Getting members to buy is the only objective. Not educating them on the product so they can make a rational decision on their own. I am just not sure if Costco is aware of this...at least I hope they would not be...but who knows? If you are looking for a job at Costco or a sampling/marketing job I do not recommend this company. You are pressured to sale and are critiqued very much if you do not sale enough. You are never praised and the managers never give you proper training to help you reach those huge sales numbers they want. For the low pay, long hours on your feet and discouraging comments from management find another job! I am..
