Applied online, got a call back and was given an interview in person by the hiring manager and warehouse manager. Was asked some different questions by each of them. Was also given briefs on different types of jobs and positions in the warehouses
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you like about Costco? What are some things you can improve in yourself as an employee? What do you do in situations where customers are unhappy or complaining about something?
Easy interview, ask the basic questions and seems like they're mostly looking for a team fit. Everyone was very nice that I interviewed with. When you're waiting for the person you're going to interview in the breakroom, the other costco employees were very nice and welcoming. Even wished me good luck!
