- We've all marveled at Costco's towering shelves and miles of aisles and supersized products, but have you ever thought about what it might be like to work there? Turns out, working for Costco, even at an entry level, can be a pretty sweet gig. From ever-rising company minimum wage to their generous time-off policy and other benefits, Costco seems to be the industry leader for Big Box Store working conditions. As a result, employees who work for Costco tend to stick around for the long haul, and the company culture is designed to foster exactly that kind of loyalty. Let's take a closer look at the details that make Costco a better-than-average employer. Here's how much money Costco employees really make.

Would you consider working at Costco?
No, but I'm too old. I do know many who've worked at Costco for years. Especially Michele. She has a daughter who is twelve now. I knew Michele when she was pregnant. If I wasn't married........
If the floor surface was of a softer material than concrete? Maybe. But the standing and walking on concrete floors can exact a toll on the body/legs over the years.
@@johnbernstein7887 could be a door guy.
SURE! AND DURING WORLD WAR TWO, I WOULD HAVE “CONSIDERED” BEING A KAMIKAZE PILOT, TOO!!
@@Tim_Marshall73 Like a greeter?
Former employee here. You get a raise every 1040 hours regardless of your department. However service clerks (deli, bakery, meat, tire center, etc) get extra $$.
Once you top out and are no longer eligible for raises you get a bonus check every 6 months. My supervisor told me a f/t employee with 25 years of service will receive 2 bonus checks of $4500 every 6 months. That was in 2020 when I first started. Wouldn't be surprised if they increased it now.
Overall a very good place to work.
Say you get $4500 every 6 months. That would mean a raise is equivalent to $4.32/hr. So you are actually getting ripped off if you work there for 25 years. You would rather get a raise than a bonus check.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 true but how many retail companies give you any additional money once you top out? I'm sure there might be a few out there but before this never heard of it.
@@krushmoto1 Probably none, but at that point, I would hope you are executive management making more than a topped out below the line employee making bonuses. Or else, work in a different line as a supervisor making $100k per year. 25 years is a long time to be stuck in a position where pay is topped out and the bonuses are that low
@@larryprice5658 nice!
California Dreamin!
I’m a forklift driver in Canada. For 8 years I have been with Costco. The new “top rate” is not $26 hr. But $29 and change. With a $1 premium on top for drivers. So slightly over $30 hr
How long after you top out? I work for an airline and we top out after 10 years at $33hr
I grew up with sams…….and then i moved to miami……costco was less than 3 miles from my home…. I have not been back to Wallyworld or sams! In south florida, they have pretty rude service overall. And yet costco & publix shine! The employees are very helpful at both places. I have NEVER had a bad day from costco or publix! They are the best! The fact that they take care of their employees is pretty important to me. Most businesses do not understand that when you take care of your employees, they bring it back in business….the helpfulness from many of them, brings me back every time! I am Team Costco!!! Love it ! Just got back from them a few minutes ago…..found a great deal on the mini weber grill….i am so happy that they are good to their employee/families!!
Walmart and Sam's doesn't need your business.
@@frankjanvari8650 Considering the number of Sam's Clubs struggling and even closing I think your comment is void.
@@frankjanvari8650 great! Because they will never get it! I’m tired of paying for the welfare on their employees because they don’t pay a fair wage! I’m not the only one! People seem to think that Walmart is all powerful… yes they are… but years ago, woolworths was in a similar position. Where are they now!?
Been working at Walmart for 2 years. I finally quit and went to Costco. Best decision ever!! Couldn't agree more with your comment. They truly do care about their employees, unlike Walmart who treated me like trash and something to be tossed away. God is good!
You know it is good, because I've seen employees working there for years.
Ive worked at Costco. It’s a great company and the food is always clean.
Costco is easily the best paying employer in that particular business.
You have no idea how great it is to work for Costco ! It’s fun ! Don’t judge me ! I’ve been living in America for 20 years and I’ve felt that three times : Pride !
Love Costco’s products & their service is amazing! Everyone working there that I have had contact with here in West Spfld., Ma has a positive, “can do attitude! They are happy & go out of their way to help you! Their employees at this store are phenomenal! Love this store & their rotisserie 🍗! Yum! Yum! Yum! Best anywhere, hands down! I so love Costco & so does my whole family! Everyone I know shops there!
💯 The price is always right. No hassle returns. Great lunch and sample snacks, $0.25 cold bottled water. I’m there at least 2x per month. Amazing Co.
TRY UNIONIZED SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA FOR A REAL & TRUTHFUL ANSWER!!!
One aspect many people don't consider when working at Costco: The concrete floor inflicts a physical toll on the body and legs of the employees; as much of the work is with standing and walking on such floors.
It may not seem like much at first, but physical ailments can develop in the feet, legs, joints, back, and hips when doing the walking and standing on the concrete floors at full-time employment status over the months and years.
That’s why I buy the best shoes! Costco also will credit you $40 a year for shoes 👍🏼♥️
The stockers have it worse. On their feet all day pulling heavy pallets. Speaking from experience. I have developed pain in places that have never had pain in. I’m only 2 years in.
The concrete floors are unforgiving. I wear blundestones boots with heel and arch support insoles,compression socks,and knee compression. I use my benefits for self/preventative care.
Chiropractor, podiatrist, preventive physical therapy. It's all available. 9years here,still standing.No other company would provide the employee benefits package we have.
y’all must be old
@@crimsonboy1999 yo mama
I enjoyed watching this video
I love Costco. I will always shop there because they take care of their employees as well as their customers.
I appreciate that in a company and as someone who is still relatively new only 7 months an employee, I can say it's definitely a good start
Minimum wage is what the REQUIRED minimum wage is by State or Federal law. What you are calling "minimum wage" is actually called "BASE" or "Starting" wage. The STARTING wage art Costco is $17.00. The minimum Federal wage is $7.25, in Maryland the State minimum wage is $15.00.
Mashed is still learning the past...lots of young folks running mashed I guess who don't know the history of some subjects they cover.
Yeah cuz they pay 14 in my state
So the 401K match to 500.00 only applied to non union warehouses. In NY, several Costcos that use to be price clubs before they merged with Costco are union buildings. The teamsters union has a business pension for there employees that began in 2016.
Just because you work for Costco doesn't mean you are going to have it easy. Hell, you are going to be working hard and even former employees who had to open and close say it's hard work, but at least you are getting the pay that you rightfully deserve. That's why they have low turnover. You treat your employees right with good pay and benefits you will have high productivity, low turnover, and you see happier employees. Everyone talks about the stereotypical miserable Walmart employee, but you never really hear about a "miserable" Costco employee.
The Employees at Walmart look absolutely miserable !
Almost every costco employee ive seen and encountered seemed like they hated their jobs lol
None of them were ever friendly or helpful either
Most of them honestly seemed like they should probably be locked up somewhere
@@GORILLA_PIMPthe employees at the Costco I go to seem “alright “ to me 😂 but who knows behind the customer service voice haha
I know this is a year old, but I’m hoping to move to AZ to help care for my momma and Costco is the #1 place I want to apply at then Trader Joe’s. Just because of the benefits and matching retirement. Excellent. Sounds like they take care of their employees very well.
what is part time hourly wage in NJ and what positions pay most?
a friend I know works for Costco in LA $22 and hour plus healthcare and 401K
$22 hour in LA seriously! Bet she still needs to Walk the Streets to pay rent... Aye!
@@JamesMiller-lq5rd job w/ healthcare benefits and retirement package, what more do u expect for someone w/ a GED or high school degree? Plus, the longer u work there increases the potential for raises/bonuses
@@jicalzad he’s talking about the price of LA not really trashing the job
Is that Louisiana or Los Angelos?
@@bryce7502 I mean 22$ is enough for somebody with no kids or responsibilities 😂
Employees make a top rate of 31.41 hr in the bay are Sunday pay is 47.11 which is time and a half so try to work every Sunday 😮😊
Costco service is hard to beat and their products are usually top notch. However, in the past maybe 8 years beef quality has changed and choices have been lowered as many warehouses have shifted from keeping regularly stocked items to stocked part time or by season. You have to wonder how anyone in management can consider French's mustard as a seasonal item which they did with our warehouses after carrying the item for decades year round. Then, they completely stopped carrying it and now year round sell Hunt's mustard in a combo pack with ketchup and relish so, if all you want is mustard, you're out of luck. Same happened to Lawry's seasoned Salt and seasoned pepper. Pepper is long gone and the seasoned salt comes and goes. The cheap 9" paper plates that sold for about 1 cent each in large quantities like 1,000 or 1,500, disappeared too and got replaced with very expensive Dixie brands. Not every meal needs a robust paper plate but thats all you will find inside Costco these days.
The best part about Costco foods is, they still insist on your typical container sizes such as juice drinks to come in 64 oz cartons, 1 gallon bottles, 1 qt containers etc. vs. what we see in any grocery store or a Smart & Final with "engineered" to look the same smaller containers for the same price. This is good for the customers and a strong signal to send to those manufactures who have greedy ideas to push onto their loyal customers.
As a meat dept employee. I can assure you meat hasnt changed.
@@Tim_Marshall73 Its still the best thing going but I have noticed much of the choice looking a lot less marbled.
@@Garth2011 varies on cow to cow. You could go one week and it looks bad and you go a few days later and its way better. I think the good stuff sells quicker than ur getting to it.lol
@@Garth2011 btw if you didnt know. Costco tenderizes theyre steaks with a blade tenderizer to improve the quality
@@Tim_Marshall73 That would be a tenderizer which no one in their right mind would do to a new york or rib eye. Usually, lower quality cuts get the tenderizer treatment.
We get turkey? Hell yeah!!!
I’ve been there for 9 years in Canada. I’m a forklift driver and make $31hr. Plus we just got a 85cent n hr raise. So almost $32
I see a lot of self checkouts now in Costco.
Costco makes 3. 6 billion dollars in membership fees yearly… thats why they can pay employees so good….
Pls make a video about how much Dollar Tree/Dollar General employees really make.
it beats HD
Im on $19.50 as a forklift driver, been at it just over two years.
Minimum wage is 17.50 at Costco where I live
is medical covered by costco or do employees pay?
I want to try and work here but I already have leg and feet pain. It makes me nervous
I work at a (not naming names...) big box hardware directly across the street from a Costco and while my job isn't "bad" it makes me wish I had applied "over yonder".
Never too late to make a change. I wish I had worked at Costco too instead of a big box home improvement store.
Honestly, work at a store that does not have a legal history. That is how I would approach it. The best ones I can think of, well actually the only one, is Aldi.
Is it hard to get a job at the Costco across the street?
@@dannydaw59 I have heard Costco is really tough to get a job at. You have to know someone and they have to refer you over.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 that normally is true, I've applied about four times for the seasonal position and only got one interview. However, last week I dropped off a resume and yesterday I got hired, just waiting for my background check to clear so I won't start for a week or two. They are desperate for good employees now, it's hard to find people. You should apply again.
Most of the employees at my local Costco are familiar faces. Turnover seems very low.
@Mike S 40k that's nothing lol how you supposed to live off that
@@4touchdowns1game29 did u read anything beyond $40K/yr? The post said that is the pay for 25 hrs/week, PLUS full benefits. That’s a really good wage
@@jicalzad what do you mean they force you to work 25 hour weeks cuz that would suck
@@4touchdowns1game29 No, i mean that $40K/year plus benefits is an extremely competitive wage for 25 hrs/week of work. Where else can you find that?
@@jicalzad yeah that is pretty good for 25 hrs just hope they don't force you to work 25 hrs. I mean there is other places that pay more still. I mean where I work you'd make about 60 working 25 hrs a week as average pay is about 40 an hour.
Super markets in Australia could learn from this.
Australian super markets policy is "any one can be replaced".
Yet, your fast food restaurants are top tier. They pay better than U.S. ones.
My sister-in-law went crazy when they opened up a Costco near Brisbane. She joined immediately when we told her what Costco in the US was.
@@nyc1164 Costco near Brisbane is good but nothing like the Costco in the USA no where near the rage of goods.
Australia definitely sux i agree
Never met anyone from there that was likeable or cool at all
OR smart
@@GORILLA_PIMP You need to get out more.
Sooooo what’s the take home pay?
I'm doing it for the discounts for the family
Pay your workers good and they will stay a long time , and be very happy to stay and enjoy working together to make,and the work place’s better and better for business.
Employees are number one...customers are too. Mistreat employees and customers will flock away.
@@Garth2011 that’s right
I’ve been there a year. Started at 16 and now make 18.50. Not nearly as much as you said in the video
You’ll get there!!
Topped out workers get 30+ and 40+ on Sunday. U gotta put time In. Making that much is not just given to you
How much are the raises that happen every 1040 hours and how much are you up to now?
They also use a lot of part time to lower benefits paid
24 hours doesn’t get benefits
24 hours does get benefits.
Full-time and part-time are 50/50.
oh you can pay workers a competitive wage.., have benefits, and still be profitable ?? who knew ??
and there stock price is hovering around high 500s, and sometimes 600.. hmmm, this is interesting
With your atrocious attempt at grammar I trust you will be making eight dollars an hour for a long, long time.
@@nathangursky4628 Are you even remotely serious ?
I made a throw away comment on a RUclips video.
Be well, kind sir, and good day.
@@nathangursky4628 "With your atrocious grammar, I trust you will be making eight dollars an hour for a long, long time."
@@matthiassventoest6800 Ha, he missed a comma. No sweat.
Costco used to take care of its employees. Culture has changed. Employee surveys have it at 70% unhappy
Whole foods pays me 15.50 and If you know their food is overpriced . There is an employee who has been there for 15 years He makes 20 dollars but his hours per week is less than 25 hours due to budget cuts .
The store front needs a good bath, who wants to shop at a dirty store?? Not me!
I work for Costco and they are awesome. Plan to retire from them
Me too
Me three! They're great to work for!
March 13th 2023 Top of scale wages went up .85 cents
Hello, good afternoon, how please? I want it to work.
The best benefits for Costco employees, are a free membership card and knowing which products are good to buy, most products have secret codes that only a few people know.
What do you mean about secret codes exactly?
I just applied.
Good luck 😎
@@MountainGirlwIPA Thanks
@@briangaspar Did you get the job?
You get the fcn job or what wtf
$16-17/hr. when the cost of living after taxes IS that much. They are still being paid lower than livable.
A livable wage doesn't exist. It depends how good you are at finances and what expenses/liabilities you have as a person.
@@bane3991 It does.
The livable was a standard wage that the government passed in 1938; but the only issue is, politics.
Anytime the government is transparent with the people, the private sector is not content. So what happens? They raise the prices of everything because they do not want to tap into their top line budgets (paid to board and CEO).
Yes, there should still be a hierarchy in terms of experienced getting paid more, job title changes being paid more, etc.; but the factor that is never addressed is being able to show up at your job each day with a roof over your head and a car to drive.
Peoples' carelessness ALSO plays a factor, BUT the wages have been shown to not even cover shelter and transportation needed to get to the job.
If Costco can do it. Why other companies don't do it?.
Greed and multiple business violations
Trying to hire the best CEO. They state that the board and CEO are in cahoots and so the $ stays at the top if they keep it at the top.
Forced Child Labor from China!
because Costco uses memberships, customers tend to keep buying because they are afraid of losing if they don't make good use of the membership, so Costco's economy tends to be stable and it can pay its employees well.
This is very surprising
Most of the employees ive seen there seem like they hate their jobs
None of them are very helpful or friendly either
And most of them honestly seem like they're straight up crazies or should be looked up somewhere
One was so rude i almost got in a fight with him but i let it go because i realized he was too young an dmb to even comprehend what he did wrong
So to learn that's it's actually a GOOD job is kinda mind blowing lol
My friend is a department manager in Canada. Employees are not hired by Costco. They are contracted through a temp agency that has offices at each store. Their hourly wage is higher than minimum wage. However they do not employ most people at a full 40 hours per week. It may have something to do with full paying benefits and a pension. They also do not pay overtime. My friend worked overtime and was not paid. She had to take legal action to get the wages.
Costco only has to pay part-time 25 hours a week. Most get more but 25hr is the lowest. Full time lowest is 38 hours.
Meat Cutters make $1.50 than most hourly employees. And the meat supervisor is the highest paid hourly employee at ab $32 an hour and 48 on sunday i think.

A TURKEY....BIG DEAL.....THE REAL TURKEYS....OWN THE STORE!!!
If true, up to a $500 annual match for a 401k Costco should be embarrassed about. That is not a retirement program, just a token amount of money for Costco to pay (that they won't miss) just so they can say they have an "employee match." Also, this video did not say how much of the employee health insurance premium the company pays, and how good the insurance is. There are a lot of crappy policies out there, where employers just throw in a small amount with employee paying the rest. A free Costco membership to employees (I would hope they do) and a turkey is nothing to write home about. I worked in retail and also in a restaurant. An employee discount and a meal were standard. I also got time and half for working Sunday in retail. Considering the pay was low to begin with, it didn't amount to much.
I fucking love Costco!!!!!!!! I hope the world knows that we’re just fucking good af
I wish they would stop moving stock arond, this isnt hide-go-seek!!
Costco doesnt have any "suggestion" email like walmart does,and they should!!! Costco doesnt listen, and they dont sell turkey or duck!! No deli like walmart! Look at those long lines to check out, not me!!
Topped out assistant pay - $26.75 an hour
Topped out clerk pay - $28.45 an hour
Supervisor pay- $29.95 an hour
Time on a Forklift = $1 premium when you're driving a Forklift and is considered a Clerk paying job.
As of July 16th 2022
Some costco pay more depends on the location of the store the store I work at pay-$27.50 an hour for Topped out cashier assistant
And topped out cashiers get $29.45 an hour
So do the topped out cashiers, as well as supervisors get paid double of that pay on sundays?
@@princesskatelynrose 1.5 pay. every hour on Sundays is time and a half
How many years does it take to top out? My Costco has pay starting at $17.50.
@@daveheel depends on total hours worked. the more you work the quicker the raises
What about people with disabilities?
IF THEY ARE PAID SO MUCH....THEY SHOULD PACK THE DAMN SHOPPING BAGS, TOO!!!
I think they will if you ask them to...fairly sure they have paper bags just for that. We saved some of their boxes that fit just right in our car and unload the cart into them and its easy to unload once home. Most of the time, we ask for them to load our cart using boxes with cold items boxed together. They are good in doing that.
What? Lol seriously.
There aren’t any shopping bags.
Meanwhile fed ex can't hold on to employees because there treated like garbage
they're*
@Mike S be careful you might get herpes 😂
Meat prices are high on some items, overpriced infact! How much did u say pork loin is?? Lamb?? What sale?? Do they know what a sale is?? I think not!!
The ceo is lying About the benefits, I’ve seen it with my own eyes before
Costco employee get turkey ,not CDs employee
"They pay all this money per hout!!!"
Yup, and they're constantly understaffed, strongly discourage overtime, and now they have as many self check outs as staffed registers.
Oh, and the teamsters are about to go on strike.
Really tired of people celebrating a company who basically pays people what they should be paid.
More than that if you break down productivity levels compared to other retailers, they're underpaid.
My daughter is making $80,000 per year. She is 👩💼 executive in Costco.
AND? GET HER ON A CHECK OUT LINE TO FILL THE DAMN SHOPPING BAGS!!!
$80k a year as an executive? She is being low balled. Managers should make that much. Executive management should make upwards of $800k per year.
You shouldn't be online revealing an Executive 's ( not yourself) salary.
$80k minus 58+% taxes i.e.: Union Dues, CA State, FICA and Fed = Dancing at the Stripper Bars in Torrance CA to pay rent! Jus Sayin...
That's super low for an Executive level
Employee
i am a grease monkey contracted to..... i make 32 / hr.
They are paying the male employee who was sex abused by his female boss more so he keeps working there
