They have been raising rages with inflation and profits. Most employees at Costco make 20 plus bucks an hour after 2 or 3 years. This is nothing new.

DarterBlue Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 38 minutes ago, HSFBfan said: The story states it due to the tax cuts Costco has always been a very good employer in the retail space. Their jobs have always paid a lot better than WalMart and their benefits are affordable and better. Not sure how much the tax cuts influenced the changes you linked. But I do know they have been a good corporate entity with respect to their employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average wage at the lowest level at Costco is about $18 per hour and has been for at least a couple years. I am pretty sure very few Costco employees were getting less than $14.

For future new employees I'm sure it's welcome. It appears to be good enough for certain folks to poo-poo though and from the looks of things would not have happened without the tax cut.

Sure, every dollar counts for individuals at the lower end of the wage spectrum. I am not going to poo poo this, though I don't think it affects that many employees. But good for the ones getting a raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you southerners are generally too poor to shop at Costco, but if you knew Costco's business model, you would know NONE of these things are changes. The AVERAGE Costco worker makes 18 an hour. Will Sams Club follow suit? No chance. Tax cuts LMFAO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
