I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Richmond, BC) in May 2017
Interview
Meet up with one of the department heads, and they interview you along with another department head. Ask you usual interview questions about yourself. Once that was done, I was interviewed by another person from the office, then they showed me around the warehouse. Once that was done, they put me on with a interview with the warehouse manager to finish it off. All happened in one day for me, for most people it seems as though it is spread throughout multiple days. They later check your references once the interview is done.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale in May 2026
Interview
Three rounds of interviews. If you're lucky, you'll do two rounds because two managers in the room are two interviews. Then the final interview is with the warehouse manager. Be on time; I cannot stress that enough, as Costco is a very time-sensitive type of position. You only have a three-minute grace period to clock in at your normal hours. Emphasize that you are very prompt and are ready to work through the probation period.

Tell me about a time about working with a difficult coworker
What was a urgent problem you had to face and what was the result?
3 different interviews with different managers process took a while but actual interviews were quick and easy. Did have to call and follow up a lot in order to keep the process moving.
Pretty standard process, arrive at store location and interview with hiring manager. Manager was prompt and knowledgeable, thanked me for being on time. Asked good questions and gave me room to answer sufficiently.
