Stressful, demoralizing, frustrating, lack of stability.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Straightforward, pleasant, easy. Interviewed by two managers and both were professional and made the interview feel more conversational. Eventually both stepped down as a result of dissatisfaction.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Less pressure should be put on individual employees to improve their relationships and environment. Emphasis should be placed on management to foster a healthy, suitable workplace as opposed to a toxic, hostile environment as a means of keeping employees under control. Managers encourage spying.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The amount of pay is nice. Having managers continuously scolding employees that they must work harder because they resent how much employees are paid since it makes payroll more difficult for them, and that it's "because of the liberals" makes the pay less worth it.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

183: Stop creating a toxic environment as a means of coercing employees to work harder. Stop using subordinates as punching bags by screaming at and belittling as a means of releasing frustration. Stop harassment against women and LGBT workers. Stop promoting "buddies" that continue these habits.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Costco corporate trainer once said that the toxic culture at 183 occurs at most Costco locations after some time. Some managers express the belief that high pay and benefits cause employees to act out. I believe Costco's toxic culture is institutionalized and truly is part of the company culture.
