i never worked for him but seeing as how he'd tell me to do his job ( even though i'm under a different manager/section ) and how he runs his staff, i feel sorry for his employees.

I haven't seen any postings for awhile but it doesnt necessarily mean locations aren't looking to hire.

Starting salary is DOE... technically the pay range could be anywhere from 11.00 - 22.XX plus bonus

I would imagine you would start somewhere in the middle provided you had decent previous experience.

i respect the guy cause he works hard but hes such a fucking prick. when i worked there, he would give me shit when i was front end and he was merch manager. honestly, if your looking to work at costco...don't work richmond since its buttfuck busy compared to the other branches. doing buggies sucks fucking ass too.

bump.

i'm interested in working p/t (12-20 hours weekly) at the new bby location or the d/t one from may -august.

hopefully it's not too late to get hired for the summer session.

can someone shed on some light on what's the best position to start with?

go up to member services and give it to someone in a red vest.
If you are applying at the richmond one don't apply for the front end position, it fucking sucks. Gets so busy and they make you go outside and push carts in the rain and snow.
Apply for merch if you want to do stocking.

if you're afternoon merch, you'll pretty much be tidying up the place and stuff mostly. the heaviest thing would probably be the bags of sugar/flour or trays of pop.

you wouldn't be lifting anything like sofas or tool chests, they'll have forklifts for those

from what i remember (last summer)

worst was probably car batteries ( rare you have to do them )

kitty litter, the 50lb boxes, was the worst

juices is pretty bad too.

boxes of paper

detergent

i actually work for the afternoon merch at the new bby one... and no, heaviest shit is probably the kitty litter, car batteries - but that stuff is rarely stocked by us

and just so you can get a grasp of how easy/hard it is after closing, i can solo stock the entire pop, juice aisle, and then some.. every night

not hard, but apply soon (mid-late april) - you wont be getting 12-20 hrs though, more like 25 MIN.

btw, its really easy to turn the job into a workout if your looking to get stacked
