Corrupt as hell - Manager Professional Warehouse Demonstrations Employee Review

Great place to build technical skills and gain exposure to international markets. The team is collaborative, and managers are supportive of professional development. Work-life balance can be challenging during quarter-end, but overall the experience has been rewarding. The learning curve is steep, yet it pays off if you’re looking to strengthen both your analytical and communication skills

You get to meet and talk to all sorts of people You get to try and work with a variety of products Reasonable hours and pay Work isn't overly difficult

Some customers and Costco employees can be extremely rude and occasionally abuse their privileges (yelling at you and demanding things; cutting in front of others to get samples; letting their children jump around or hang off demo stations, even if there are hot ovens or sharp knives being used there) Upper management changes rules and policies too frequently (water bottles allowed at station, then not allowed, then allowed under special circumstances, then not allowed again) Expectations set by upper management can be overly difficult or impossible to meet (regardless of situation, set up and clean up should take 15 minutes, and sample tray should always be full) Vendors can have unrealistic expectations (push products constantly, even to people who can't use them; sell thousands of dollars of merchandise in a day, even if customers are saying it's too expensive)
