I worked for Costco for almost a year. I won't speak for the company as a whole but my location sucked ass. The upper management were all incompetent egotistical morons who would bend over backwards to suck off the most brain damage and entitled customers. Blatant favoritism and sexism of the staff. Inconsistently applied punishments.

I liked most of my coworkers and floor leads but the upper management were some of the worst I have ever worked for in my entire life.

Workers being good people and management being full of incompetent sociopaths is an unfortunately common experience.

Ive worked at places like target and best buy as well. Costco was absolutely the worst I ever had. Decent benefits tho.

Costco is so greedy. Employees deserve more of that profit!

Profit = income - expenditures

Record profits = (highly productive workers) - (low wages)

It is a fundamental and indisputable fact. Record profits can only be achieved when the workers are paid unfairly for their contributions.

Workers deserve better.
