Costco is famous around the world for its generous wages and benefits. Recently a post on the online forum Reddit sparked heated discussion. A netizen claiming to be a Costco employee revealed that he was responsible for pushing shopping carts in the parking lot, and his hourly wage was $32, which was equivalent to an annual salary of $66,000. If Sunday overtime pay is added, income can increase even more.
According to a post on Reddit’s Costco employee discussion forum, a netizen shared that when discussing income in the local community, he mentioned that Costco employees driving shopping carts can earn up to $50,000 per year. However, others questioned this and believed that such a low level job could not have such a high salary. After the post was exposed, a large number of netizens claiming to be Costco employees came forward to share their salaries.
One of them said that he is currently responsible for pushing shopping carts, and his hourly wage has reached US$32. Calculated based on 40 hours per week and 52 weeks a year, the annual salary is approximately US$66,000. If salary bonus for working on Sunday is added, the income can be even higher. Another employee said he works as a forklift operator and expects to earn about US$75,000 this year, and additional bonuses have not yet been included.
In the comment area, many netizens shared similar experiences. Some people pointed out that the annual salary of Costco’s general manager can reach six figures, and he can also obtain restricted stocks, but he is often questioned by the outside world for fraud. Some employees also said that if they reach the highest salary level, receive sick leave subsidies on full attendance, and work every Sunday, their annual salary can even reach US$80,000.
