I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Niles, IL) in Sept 2015
Interview
I had 2 managers sit down with me, very laid back. It was for a seasonal position and the managers were from a specific department. The position was part time and if you wanted more hours you could and depending on your performance could lead to a permanent position.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Tracy, CA) in Sept 2024
Interview
When I entered, I was told to wait until the interviewer came. When they did, they first showed me the inside operations of the warehouse, asking me "easier" questions like availability and whether I feel like I'd be comfortable there. Then we went back in the office area where the "real interview" was conducted. After we finished, I waited for a little longer before they told me they'd contact me about a second interview.
