Pros

Good Starting and Ending IT Company Management is friendly and understands work life balance 45/hr per week No layoffs, and only way to get fired is to steal The longer your there the better everything is for you regardless of performance

Cons

Hard to leave to another company as most know the IT culture at Costco. Very Low pay. 1-3 percent raises per year. More like 1-2% as there is always a reason that you are not eligible for 3%. Vacation is ok not good. No Vacation from mid Nov through week before Christmas. No bonus's for non management. Except for managers that are grandfathered into bonus's. Lunch is cheap but if you work in building 6 you have to bus to another campus for hot food. IT is treated as Warehouse employees. With the exception that some are salary. No working remotely Only way to live close to work is a small condo as housing is too high, and wages does not cover the cost of housing. 2+ hour commute each day

Pros

Very affordable high quality health insurance benefits even for PT employees. Great for working parents who split up child care and need coverage. The key to succeeding at Costco is to work hard, have a good attitude and be nice to people. It's hard work and fasted paced, you have to be down for that to succeed.

Cons

At this warehouse you are required to work 5 days per week, even if you are PT at 24 or so hours. This means lots of 4-5 hour shifts rather than fewer 8 hour shifts which is tough for those who commute a long distance to work or have to cover day care.
