I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale in Jan 2011
Interview
They want to learn how much you know about the company, its culture and way of doing business. You must also be aware that some Costco stores are union and others are not. Can you handle the fast pace environment. You must know your numbers, areas of responsibilities, best sellers, what makes the item a best seller.
There were a lot of interviews - a total of 4 interviews. Often with the same people present. Standard questions. Just seemed time consuming for the role of assistant manager.
Asked about company policy and if I could see myself being a good fit for the company. Felt fair and honest. It involved 3 other managers at the same time.
