Hey everyone, I'm considering applying for a few positions at Costco, specifically in the warehouse or stocking roles. I've heard good things about them in general, but I'm curious about the day-to-day reality for someone just starting out. Is it as physically demanding as it looks? What's the team dynamic typically like? Are managers generally supportive, or is it more of a sink-or-swim environment? I'm trying to get a realistic picture before I dive in. Any insights from current or former employees, especially those who started recently, would be super helpful. Trying to gauge the onboarding process and if there's room for growth or just grinding it out. Thanks in advance for any honest feedback!

Costco can be a great place to start! The physical demand is definitely there, especially in stocking, but you get used to it. Teams are usually pretty solid; people help each other out because everyone knows how hard the work can be. Managers vary, but most are pretty reasonable and understand you're learning. They often promote from within, so there's room to grow if you show up and work hard.
