I know I'm bumping out an old thread but...


Does anyone work at the Downtown Costco as of now, and if you do, is it any good? I'm planning to apply at the Vancouver one since it's only 10 minutes difference to the Surrey location (I'm in Surrey). Bear in mind I'm a High School student (Does that matter in the application process?) with some warehousing and retail experience, and I plan to work part-time 8-hour shifts since I'm playing community football Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

I tried to fire off an e-mail of my resume this morning but got an auto-reply saying that the manager who takes them will not be back until the 2nd.

when i got the application form they said you have to be able to work a 4am shift

4AM? Since I can only use transit to get to DT, I guess the earliest I can go is 6-7AM since the Skytrain only runs that early. Since I've got football in the evening, working THAT early isn't much of a problem.

those would be some long ass days.

YOu have to be 19+ to work?

Don't think so. I'm 17, and I got called by Costco, but since it was at 1PM, I was at school at the time.

anyone know if the richmond costco is still hiring?

where do you apply?
instore? wbsite?

anyone know if the downtown or burnaby location is hiring right now?

How's AM merchandising like?

sucks lol dont do it

did it a few years ago.

5am-10am shift, you just unbox things and stock items, that's it, nothing else. 11$/hr starting, sundays you get 15/hr.

the perk was you don't have to deal with customers whatsoever unless you work into lunch time for full 8hr shifts. even then, its usually just " where is item X ? ". No nagging c-lai questions etc.

Thanks man!

does Richmond Costco have Overnights Position? im considering overnights if its worth it.. handed my resume last week.
how long does it take for them to get back to you..
i used to work at Walmart Supercenter in Edmonton b4 i moved to vancouver. so i have experience.

whats the pay like for overnights if they have it?

Benefits after 3months or right away?

do you still work at the richmond one>
what department?

working at the costco in burnaby. can be hard work or pretty slack depending on ur mood. min 25 hours a week. Starting 11 sunday premium blah blah blah. pretty good job for seasonal

Worked there two or three years ago doing merchandising in the hardlines department (office supplies etc)

It's a straightforward job, gets robotic and repetitive

white shoes to a costco interview a big no no ?

i'd probably skip the white shoes...

What sort of questions do they ask at the interviews?

they have a set list that they pull out and there are like 3 or 4 categories if i remember correctly and you'll have two people in the room usually and the each pick and choose questions while the other records down what you say, i guess to eliminate biases and favoritism if you knew one of the interviewers

Mostly they give you specific circumstances and put yourself in them and ask you if you've ever experienced it or not, and what you did or what you would do.
I cant remember any questions but they were quite specific and lots of talking lol
