I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Sugar Land, TX)
Interview
I applied online and was called a few days later to schedule an interview. I was told that I had passed the intial online screening so my first in-store interview was considered a second interview. I went to the location for my interview and waited in the break room for about 30 minutes before someone came to get me. Two employees are required to be present during the interview. The interview was basic, customer service questions.
After the interview I received a call the same day letting me know to expect another call to set up a third interview with the General Manager. I waited a few days and after not hearing anything I called the store but was unable to get in contact with the employee who did my interview. I called back three times and finally spoke to an employee who said they were trying to see when the GM would be available to do interviews. It has been over a month and I never heard from anyone.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Phoenix, AZ) in Jul 2022
Interview
I applied online and received an email requesting a phone interview one week later. Interview over the phone was to see why I was interested in the job and my qualifications. I am awaiting a callback for interview #2.
