What are you looking for in a career?
Merchandising is the lifeblood of Costco, and our business is centered around our warehouse operations. Most employees begin their careers in the warehouse setting, becoming experts in Costco merchandising and operations. But the company also offers diverse career opportunities at our home and regional offices in many other areas as well, such as Accounting, Buying, Graphic Arts, Journalism, Information Systems, Human Resources, and Law, to name a few. Additionally, Costco is dedicated to recognizing and rewarding employees for their hard work and loyalty. In fact, the majority of our management teams are promoted from within!

If you are an ambitious, high-energy person who enjoys a fast-paced team environment laced with challenges and opportunities, you've come to the right place.

WAREHOUSES, DEPOTS AND OTHER BUSINESSES
REGIONAL AND HOME OFFICES
Costco is committed to promoting from within the company. The majority of our current home and regional office team members are "home grown." This means that they started in our warehouses, depots and business centers, learned the business and moved up within the company. This philosophy also ensures promotional opportunities for motivated individuals.
Today, we have Accountants, Lawyers, Buyers, and Human Resources Personnel who began their careers as a Stocker or Cashier in one of our locations. We believe that Costco's future officers are currently working in our warehouses, depots, business centers, as well as in our Home and Regional Offices.
If this career path sounds challenging and exciting, we welcome you to apply at one of our locations.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES Our home office, located in Issaquah, Washington is also the site of our INFORMATION SYSTEMS DIVISION. For employment opportunities in IS, please send your resume to Costco IS Jobs.
We want YOU to be part of our team!

a bunch of people i work with at sam's club have come from costco. While the pay and benefits are good... i guess management sucks. and it seems to depend on the club in question. average pay for employees = $15-17. and you start at $10. here anyway.

I've heard the same from people in the police dpt and fire dpt. The guy who owns costco only wants a small salary, he wants the rest of the money to go back into the company for the employees. I think thats great
