Pros

Working with flowers was fun.

Cons

Horrible split shifts 8-10:30 leave come back At 2:30 to 4:30. Your boss tells you what to do on the phone but then Costco management tells you something completely different. Only 3 days of training then boss leaves and you won't see her again for a few months. I complained about an employee twice and my boss didn't even talk to her. Oh and you start off at 11.50 per hour, but you only get a .15 raise once a year. No benefits, no paid vacation, no paid sick days. The seasonal employees they hire during holidays are usually very old women who are not capable of physical tasks. And during holidays you need to be very fit, you literally need to run back and forth from back of store to front. And break down pallets that are 7 feet high with heavy flowers. Also must be at your work area every 15 minutes. That means every time you walk all the way to the back of the store and start on your task you have to walk back up to the front.

Pros

The flowers and customers were great.

Cons

My manager scheduled me for three half days of training. My first Saturday was a huge delivery and I was by my self. They should always have two people on delivery days. You are supposed to follow a schematic, but the flowers aren't what you need to follow the schematic. Costco employees would put flowers in the coolers where you can't get them. And, a handful of Costco employees are horrible. I could not deal with the knuckle dragging & ;foul mouths they have, and no one does a thing. For 16 an hour it wasn't worth it. I have to say, if I was left alone to do my job, it would have been a nice part time job. But I cringe to think how the holiday seasons will be
