Costco takes very good care of their employees. They are some of the best remunerated employees in non commission based retail. Costco itself values all of it's employees and actually employs a form of vertical integration in their hiring practices. Its extremely rare for Head Office to hire someone that hasn't worked in one of their warehouse buildings. They want all of their employees to be exposed to as much of the day to day operations as possible.
Costco in turn ingrains in their warehouse workforce that Costco doesn't have customers but rather members, and that all of your time on site should be used to improve each and every member's experience. Costco store managers can do very well for themselves. There is only one per warehouse site but they can make $150k - $180k, however the hours are grueling.
They also rotate around to different parts of the store so everyone knows where everything is, has done various jobs (Exception is pharmacy, Garage, Butcher and bakery)
