This is how much Costco employees make. Starting pay is $20 per hour, which is $41,000 per year working full-time. If you stick around after about five years, you can make $32 per hour, which is about $65,000 a year, and that doesn't even include extra pay. Sundays and holidays are paid 50% more than a regular shift. Both full-time and part-time employees get benefits like health insurance, paid time off, a 401K, and a free Costco membership. Long-time employees also earn longevity bonuses, which are cash payouts that add even more to their yearly income. And if you move to a specialized role or become a manager, you can earn even more. Costco store managers can make well over $100,000 a year.

Costco might just be the best retail job in America. With solid pay, yearly bonuses, and free memberships, it’s no wonder so many employees stick around for 10 years or more. Costco has a reputation for treating people well. Turnover is much lower than most retail jobs and there are plenty of chances to move up into higher paying roles. Even part-timers get access to benefits, which is rare. For many people it’s not just a paycheck, it turns into a real career. @Ghanee Ludin
