| Does anyone work at costco?
Any idea what the pay range is for regular and seasonal staff? I've googled websites and some people say it's $9.50 and others say $11, and some say it's even higher.

no matter what position, you start at 11$.
3month probation you get a $0.50 raise.
sundays are the sweet spot. 4$ premium. so say you start at 11, sundays you make 11+4 = 15$ an hour for an entry level job.
9.50 was the old start wage, they recently increased it to 11.

Been with Costco for many years. I'm there part-time. It's hard to give up. They promote a pretty good work-life balance. The pay helps as well. In fact, it used to be time and a half when working on Sundays.
I know that a full time cashier at top rate of pay will make over $50k per year working 40 hours per week. Person standing at the door, $48K per year. This does not even include the benefits. If your a top level manager of a warehouse, they make more than $100k (at least that's what I heard).

Every Costco should be hiring right now. It's the seasonal period for the next little bit.
Just bring your resume to them and they'll go through it and give you a call.

its better to drop off your resume in person at the membership area. working for costco is good since hours are quite flexible and the working environment is great since the managers are all really easy-going and nice. im talking about richmond costco though so it might be different for others.

hey if you really want a job at costco, i can probably get you in for seasonal. if you work hard and the managers like you, they might ask you to stay longer. however, you HAVE to be willing to work hard. its really fast paced.
btw. its $11 for probation, $11.50 for under 800 hours.
