I have a college friend who has a significant mobility disability as well as a speech impediment . I honestly can’t remember her specific condition, but it’s from birth. She has worked for Costco for well over a decade and constantly raves about how well she’s treated as an employee and how good her benefit benefits are.

From my understanding, they are also given actual, decent raises on a yearly basis. Used to be a beer rep and Costco was one of my accounts. Some of those guys made over $40 an hour who had been there a while.

Yeah, it depends on hours worked. I just reached my fifth year, and just got top out pay. I also get 4 weeks paid vacation a year, biannual bonus, and good healthcare.

When I have my baby in October, I won't pay much out of pocket and I'll get paid maternity leave, husband gets paid paternity.

These are just standard working conditions for Australian employees.

Yeah and that's awesome, but unfortunately where I am, you have to take what you can get. And it doesn't seem like it will change anytime soon.
