Took about 2 weeks for an interview. Very straight forward and asked questions based on enhancing the customer experience and your experience with costco pre interview. Review the website for company values for alignment

It was with two of the managers first. Then when you get hired you go through the probational period. You watch a video that lasts about an hour and you take tests before you start working in your posistion.

I am an experienced baker, I saw an add for a Costco cake decorating job. I heard it was a great company, so I applied. They called me within a couple days and invited me I for an interview. I arrived and 2 managers interviewed me. They informed me that there was no cae decorating job, only season entry level jobs were EVER offered at Costco. I said I specifically applied to work in the bakery. Then they told me I made it to the next level interview. Waited 5 minutes the another manager asked me a few vague questions about customer service. He mentioned again I wouldn’t just get a job I the bakery, everyone starts at entry level 15$ an hour. I would be expected to gather carts in the snow ect. He said that all the other people being hired for seasonal would all be competing for a few permanent spots and it gets very competitive. Then he said it was time for my drug test. He gave me a form to sign. I said “a drug test is part of the interview process?”. He then told me I was hired and would be put on the schedule immediately. He acted bewildered when I said I didn’t know if I wanted the job. He said I better hurry because my spot would be gone. I found all this very insulting, they acted like I was uppity because I wanted the job I applied for, and as a trained, schooled professional baker, I wanted proper compensation. They bait and switch to sucker people into working insane seasonal hours/conditions. I won’t be working at Costco, if they are this shady during the hiring process, then I don’t need to find out what’s next.
