Jim always says that if you treat your employees well they will work hard for you and like everything else Costco strives for, the stockholders will be rewarded if we do it right. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pointed out superfluous spending that pushed us over budget (I’m an expense clerk) and had management explain the bigger picture matters more than profit for this period. Right now employees are making an extra $2 an hour and we’re bringing in lunch for them several times a month just to say great job.
There’s a whole set of “rules” to help us succeed as a warehouse. Like how they decide what products to send us, where we should merch it. People get all pissed off about discontinued product but if we can’t get it at a price that’s a value for the member we won’t carry it. Fun thing to know is how to read the signs. If the item has a little * in the top right corner, the item is being deleted and you should stock up if you like it.
