Worked at Costco for 2 years. Most of the employees love their jobs. I wanted more and move on, but kid you not, there are people still working at my old warehouse that started the same day I did 20 years ago. Wages were good, the benefits were great, and everyone respected each other.
I go to Costco, and I often notice the same set of workers there year over year. One of our former neighbors worked there and had several family members working there.
You don’t see that often in retail. They must be doing something right.
There are a variety of jobs available, and I’ve seen some workers with physical disabilities or older workers that aren’t very strong working things like the register or the administrative things like the return counter. For the most part, everything arrives on pallets that are moved around with forklifts anyways. Unless you’re in the butcher, baker, or display departments, there probably isn’t that much physical labor involved.

How physically demanding is it?
